  All logged in users can create custom PDF reports, for each website, by clicking on the PDF link in the top menu.
  Each user can add unlimited number of reports and for each report, schedule daily / weekly / monthly emails.
  To customize the PDF, simply select which reports should be included. You can also download the PDF directly from the list.

The initial code was contributed by Lyzun Oleksandr and Jeremy Lavaux, and modified to fit Piwik codebase by Matt.

• Worldmap view!
  Gregor Aisch created a beautiful world map widget. He built the Open Source world map specifically to build the Piwik widget.

  It also features a full screen view, check it out in your dashboard.

  
  The Open source flash map project is hosted on the Piwik SVN.

• New Website selector for Piwik instances with hundreds or thousands of Websites
  With its powerful API (Tracking API, Analytics API) Piwik has become a very strong solution to custom and large scale Web Analytics setups. In particular, many users are using Piwik with hundreds or thousands of websites. Until then, the UI was loading very slowly because it was loading the full Website list in the HTML page.
  The Website selector now only loads the top 10 Websites, and you can search and see which websites match your search in real time.
  The website selector search only appears if you have more than 5 Websites configured.
  
  



• New Email settings
  You can configure Piwik to send email using a SMTP server instead of the default mail() function.
