Matomo 2.2.1

Piwik 2.2.1 is a new minor release which brings more stability to the platform. Please update now.

What’s changed?

  • All your settings will be saved and restored the next time you visit any report in Piwik. Until now, Piwik was saving and restoring your settings for dashboard widgets (for example: which column was sorted, table or graph, whether the report is flattened or not, etc.). From Piwik 2.2.1 onwards, this feature will work across all reports. This was a top requested feature for many power users, it will save you time and effort.
  • Several bugs were fixed in the Installation process which affected a subset of users. More bugs were fixed in the platform, resulting in more stable and reliable Piwik.
  • a Referrer spam blacklist feature was implemented, as several users reported issues with referrer spam. The referrer spam list can be edited in the configuration file.
  • Developers: Period::factory() is deprecated, please use Period\Factory::build() instead
  • (released in 2.2.0) Event Tracking: track your custom events with Piwik. An event is defined by a Category, an Action, an optional Name and an optional Value. Event Tracking is a powerful feature which can be used for many purposes!
