Pulse Pro 1.7.2 introduces a new feature, visitor stats. This feature is not intended as a replacement for a full blown analytics package such as Google Analytics, but it gives a quick overview of your website's traffic. There are only three metrics used, daily visitors, top referrers and top pages. This basic set of information will tell you how many people are coming to your site, where they are coming from and what content they are viewing.
To track visitors on your site, just add the tracker embed code to the footer of any page you'd like to track. If your site uses a master template, you can just include it in the footer and it will track all pages that use the template.
You really keep "up-ing" the game with Pulse.
Some "updates" require a more aggressive approach like version 1.7.1 which included some "code cleanup".
In this "update" we are just adding the ability to have basic "Stats". There must be "key" files and folders that just need to be added to version 1.7.1 to make it 1.7.2. And, for those of us who already have Pulse installed a "short list" of what needs to be added makes sense. At least to me.
Thanks for all you do Mark! And keep up the great job.
Great work Mark .... PulseCMS Rocks! :)
Am now making extensive use of Pulse on client sites. Really useful for clients who have regular updates to do to their sites. See:

There are 2 editable CMS areas on the front page and more in the sidebars of the Concerts and Workshops page. It is all built into my Rocket theme for RW, which I am going to be working on a little update too at some stage. See:

What I would like to know is how scalable Pulse is planned to be. What new features are planned?

Andy - I'm not sure what you mean by scalable, thats a very broad term. And I don't announce new features until they are released. But I can tell you that 1.7.3 is coming very soon.
An auto update button from within the platform would be handy too.
