Piwik 0.6.4

We have just released Piwik 0.6.4, a maintenance release with a new plugin.

  • NEW Design!
    Thanks to the mockups from Marcin Gałęcki and the hard work of Stepan Sukharyna, sponsored by German Agency Vorwärts GmbH, we are now introducing the new UI in Piwik 0.6.4. We hope you enjoy the new professional look. We also tried to make it easier to use, let us know what you think using the Forums or feedback forms.
  • FASTER User Interface
    Julien Moumné, developer from the Piwik team, implemented Javascript and CSS merge and minification. Instead of fetching all JS/CSS files separately, Piwik now builds one single file, ensuring the UI is fast and very responsive.
  • The SEO plugin
    New Dashboard Widget, contributed by Victor Dibia, that displays the website’s PageRank, Yahoo Backlinks, number of indexes pages, Alexa rank and the domain age, for the website URL recorded in Piwik.

  • Simple Image Tracker
    You can track visitors that don’t use JavaScript using a simple embed image (1×1 pixel) code into a website.
  • PHP Piwik Tracking API
    You can now track visitors that don’t have JavaScript enabled using http tracking API. PHP based websites can use the new tracking client to track their users.
    This is useful in environments where JavaScript cannot be used (e.g. mobile platforms, eBay pages).
  • New tests and huge QA effort
    Anthon setup Jenkins for continuous build integration. Matt added full sets of integration tests, ensuring we always know when we break Piwik tracking, API, Archiving logic.
    Integration tests, unit tests, webtests (testing the installation in a fake browser) and Javascript tests (testing piwik.js) are running after each SVN commit and send message to a list and the developer. These are a major improvements in our Quality Assurance effort, to ensure a stable and bugfree Piwik 1.0.
  • WAA Compliance
    We reviewed Web Analytics Association specifications, and ensured Piwik is compliant with the latest WAA specs.
  • Dashboard widgets will now remember the View type you last clicked and will restore the exact same dashboard each visit.
  • Many bug fixes and improvements

For Piwik users updating to 0.6.4

  • Security fix: Thank you to Enrico Razza who found and reported to the Piwik team security@piwik.org a vulnerability in Piwik also fixed in 0.6.4.
