Matomo 1.7.1

Piwik 1.7.1 is a minor release, bringing one new feature and resolving a few bugs.

What’s new in Piwik 1.7.1?

  • The archive.php script now requires a new argument --url=http://your-website.com/path/to/piwik/
    The URL auto-detection was not working on all systems so we had to add this requirement. The Auto archiving script documentation has been updated.
    If you upgraded to Piwik 1.7 and are already using the new archive.php, please update your cron setup to add this parameter or the auto archiving will not run.
  • In all Piwik reports, you can now select the number of rows to display in the table. Piwik used to display 10 rows for most reports, but you can now change to 10, 25, 50, 250 or 500 rows at once. It even works in the Visitor Log!
    • If you change the number of rows to display in any of your Dashboard’s widget, the setting will be saved and restored the next time you access your dashboard.

  • The Referrers reports (Keywords & Search engines, Websites, Campaigns) now display 25 rows by default (instead of 10).
  • We fixed a few more bugs (see below), and a few regressions introduced in 1.7

This new version does not contain major database schema changes, so the update should be quite easy even if your Piwik DB is enormous.

After You Update

  • Please use the forums for support.
  • We really appreciate if you can spread the word about Piwik on your twitter, blog, website, to your friends, at conferences, etc.
    Thank you!
