Matomo 0.2.35 - Analytics Platform - Matomo

Important note: After updating to 0.2.35, please delete your browser cache and refresh Piwik. There is a known issue where the new Javascript files are not correctly updated in the browser cache which causes the dashboard to fail.

– ADDED Refresh and back button now work! Great contribution by Khanh Pham #103
It is using the jquery history plugin. period, date, idsite, module and action are persisted across requests, making Piwik much nicer and faster to use.
– ADDED search field below data tables is now using the regular expression syntax. For example, a search for “google|yahoo” would match all rows containing “google” or “yahoo”. All search strings containing any of the special characters from this list: . + * ? [ ] $ ( ) { } = ! < > | must be escaped with a back slash, eg. if you want to search for keywords containing “piwik!” you would search for “piwik!”.
– ADDED Introducing the new “ExampleUI” plugin which shows how to plot data easily in Piwik, reusing the existing framework (evolution graph, pie chart, bar graph, sparklines, tag clouds, tables, and more!)
– ADDED #126 all dates should be correctly displayed in all graphs. For example, evolution graph for days would show, on the X axis “Mon 29”, “Wed 31”. For months it would show “Aug 2009”, etc.
– ADDED Now displaying prettier date (better usability) as well as showing a calendar icon.
– API CHANGE method VisitFrequency.getSummary renamed in VisitFrequency.get for consistency with VisitsSummary.get
– API CHANGE: the API for the function Piwik_AddWidget has changed. The new API is Piwik_AddWidget( $widgetCategory, $widgetName, $controllerName, $controllerAction, $customParameters = array()). See examples of calls in all the core Piwik plugins. This change was necessary to make widgets more modular (they now accept custom parameters).
– API CHANGE: a small number of CSV outputs for some API calls would change following the simplification of DataTable_Simple implementation. Affected calls are VisitsSummary.get, Goals.get, VisitFrequency.get. This is due to a change in the implementation of DataTable_Simple (we simplified implementation).
– RENAMED time_before_archive_considered_outdated in time_before_today_archive_considered_outdated
– FIXED #84 Added proper translations for all columns, in tables, and graphs.
– FIXED #322 piwik is now using open flash chart 2
– ADDED: when hovering any of the sparklines, the UI makes it clear that clicking will refresh the evolution graph. This feature was in Piwik for months, and even Google Analytics implemented this UI feature after Piwik. However in Piwik it wasn’t clear to the user that the sparklines were clickable.
– ADDED: now widgets can be created with custom parameters. This makes it possible to create a widget that calls a controller->action with other custom parameters, this is used in Piwik to draw an evolution graph (module=VisitsSummary & action=getEvolutionGraph) for a given metric (&columns[]=nb_visits). These custom parameters are automatically forwarded to the sparkline url, the flash graph when clicked on sparkline, etc.
– ADDED The widget layout is now saved as a JSON string rather than a custom data structure. The dashboard code should be able to read & restore most of the layouts from the old format (except the evolution graphs widgets). Simplified the Dashboard.js, widgetMenu.js, cleaned up what was a messy code.
– ADDED sentence in Widgetize to let users know they can easily export the Piwik dashboard in an iframe.
– CHANGED the way translations used in Javascript are loaded: all translations strings finishing by _js will be loaded to be used in the templates when calling {loadJavascriptTranslations plugins=’YOUR_PLUGIN_NAME’}
– CHANGED Moved all templates in plugins under plugins/$PLUGIN/templates/
– CHANGED ‘Khtml (Konqueror, Safari)’ now displayed as ‘KHTML (Safari, Chrome)’
– FIXED #651 by setting session.save_handler explicitly (patch by vipsoft)
– FIXED #646, setting cache headers explicitly to nocache instead of assuming PHP default. (patch by vipsoft)
– FIXED #682 Notice: Undefined property: Piwik_DataTable_Simple::$rows
– ADDED new configuration option: default number of rows returned in API responses “API_datatable_default_limit = 50”
– REMOVED the automatic generic filters. The limit and sort and safe decode are applied by each module when necessary.
– REMOVED exact match filter. Now all searches are using regular expressions syntax. Exact match can be done using exact search ^like this$
– FIXED notice when natural sort on a non existing column
– FIXED CSV export for datatable_array
– CHANGED Clarified code for plotting multiple lines in an evolution chart
– FIXED #624 Added icon “save as image” below all graphs (next to the Export icon)
– CHANGED Moved all JS functions into the piwikHelper static class
– FIXED Added message when flash is disabled and graph not showing, linking to piwik faq.
– FIXED Added expressInstall.swf feature so that users using old flash version are pointed to the new one automatically
– FIXED #590 – use relative path
– REMOVED quicktime detection refs #683
– ADDED new option default_period to specify which period to use by default in piwik (default is day). Possible values: day, week, month, year
