Piwik 0.7 - July 29, 2010

Piwik 0.7 is a major Piwik release, bringing a few amazing new features.

New features

• Create custom PDF Reports and schedule them (daily, weekly, monthly) to your email address
  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.

Piwik 0.6.4 - July 20, 2010

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 Hudson 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.

Piwik 0.6.3 - June 21, 2010

We have just released Piwik 0.6.3, a maitenance release with a some exciting new features.

• NEW! Goal Plugin is now stable and enabled by default
  We have finished the work on the Goal plugin backend and User Interface. You can now create several Goals by website (eg. 'Read my page About' matching url '/about/').
  For each Goal, you will get reports of how the Goal conversions are performing over the last few days or months, but also across your segments: countries, server time, keywords, search engine, website, campaign keyword, etc.
  The Goal overview dashboard gives you a quick overview of all your Goals and you can view detailed reports for each goal.
  Advanced users can also specify a value for each Goal (eg. the Goal 'Newsletter subscribe' is worth $1). For Ecommerce items or items with a dynamic price, you can also set the exact price by using the Javascript API function trackGoal().
  You can check out the full user documentation about Tracking Goals in Piwik,
• Piwik Archiving script on Windows, scaling Piwik on Windows just did get a lot easier as Piwik now comes with a PowerShell script that you can use to perform the archiving process.
  Check out the updated How to setup Piwik for larger websites which now includes instructions for Windows users.

• The Visitor Generator, a new Plugin that replaces the former generateVisits.php has been added to the core (but plugin is disabled by default) and allows the superuser to generate fake visit data. This is useful if you want to see in more details how Piwik works without real data, and very useful for developers working and testing Piwik.

For Piwik users updating to 0.6.3

• Known bug: on the Piwik dashboard in 0.6.3, you might see a "Widget not found".
  Please remove this widget and add the same widget "Visits > Last Visits graph" again after the Piwik update.
• User affected by "Piwik 1 is available" message: Users affected are running PHP 5.2.0 (and above) with either safe_mode enabled or open_basedir set, and using the curl extension. You can patch your existing Piwik installation manually since the "one-click" update would fail in this case. We recommend that affected 0.6.2 users replace piwik/core/Http.php with the new version.
  Note: You may have to wait up to 8 hrs for the cached version number to update.
