• Piwik 2.1 — Massive Performance and Reliability Improvements

  4 mars 2014, par Benaka M. — Community, Development

  We are very excited to announce the immediate availability of Piwik v2.1.0 !

  • Download Link
  • How to update Piwik ?
  • List of all tickets closed : Changelog

  Piwik 2.1 is the first release after our 2.0 release and it reflects the new direction Piwik is moving in : better performance, more reliability and a better overall open platform ! We also released more plugins on the marketplace as well as helped developers build exciting new plugins for Piwik.

  This 2.1.0 release contains several performance and reliability improvements to the archiving process and to the new device detection process introduced in Piwik 2.0. It also includes a new email report format (CSV), a new marketplace plugin and overall more than 80 improvements (source).

  Massive Performance Improvements to Archiving

  The biggest improvement this release brings to Piwik are the various performance improvements made to the Archiving Process. These improvements include the following :

  • The amount of memory used has been reduced in some cases by 80% or more ! What used to require 8GB of memory will now only require 1GB. Piwik engineers analysed Profiler XHProf reports of Piwik under high load and implemented several improvements to archiving.
  • The cron script you can setup to automatically process your reports will now create new processes to perform asynchronous archiving instead issuing CURL http requests. This change results in increases to the performance and reliability of the Archiving Process.

  Bug Fixes and Performance Improvements to Device Detection

  In Piwik 1.12 we introduced a new device detection feature that could detect much more information than what we used before. Piwik 2.1 includes several bug fixes and improvements to this feature (such as detecting dozens of new devices, brands and models for smartphones, tablets and other devices). To use this feature, go to “Settings” then “Plugins” then activate the DevicesDetection plugin.

  New Default MySQL Database Type (InnoDB)

  This change doesn’t affect our existing Piwik users, but it does reflect our commitment to performance and reliability. We’ve changed the default MySQL database type to be InnoDB instead of Myisam. This will allow new users to immediately gain the benefits in reliability offered by InnoDB.

  New Marketplace Plugin – HTTP Authentication

  We’re releasing a new plugin on the marketplace that will allow you to use the HTTP authentication services provided by your webserver. Learn more about this plugin on the marketplace.

  New Email Format for Scheduled Reports

  The last big change in this release is a new email report format. You can now get your email reports as CSV files as well as HTML and PDF reports.

  Other Improvements

  In addition to performance improvements and new plugins, this release contains a few other smaller improvements described below.

  Changing segments in the Embedded Dashboard

  The embedded dashboard is the powerful feature that lets you include the Piwik Dashboard without the top menu and Piwik branding, directly within your application !

  This dashboard will now include the segment selector allowing you to change the current segment and create new segments, just as you would in the normal dashboard view :

  

  Multiple Super Users

  It’s now possible for your Piwik to have more than one Super User and for Super Users to have aliases :

  

  Learn more in the User guide : Managing Super Users in Piwik.

  Smart App Banners for our Mobile Apps

  Finally, in accord with our commitment to providing great User Experience, we’ve added a smart banner to Piwik so users that view Piwik from a mobile device will be informed of our amazing (and free !) mobile apps (for both iOS and Android).

• Piwik IRC Meetup on Tuesday

  10 février 2014, par Fabian Becker — Community, Development

  With the release of Piwik 2.0 and the Piwik Marketplace we are focusing on the community aspect of Piwik Development. In order to give users and developers a chance to get involved in Piwik we decided to have IRC meetups every two weeks, where we discuss current and future plans of Piwik development.

  Why should I join ?

  This is the chance for everyone to directly talk to developers and discuss issues and feature ideas. It is also good if you want to get involved in development and pick up smaller features to get to know the code base.

  Next Piwik meetup

  • Date : Tuesday February 11th, 7.30pm UTC
  • Duration : 30min
  • IRC #piwik channel (irc.freenode.net)

  Topics are :

  • 2.1 release (closed tickets)
  • open tickets for Piwik 2.2

  To join the chat, you can use the website : http://webchat.freenode.net/ (or join with your IRC client of choice) – See also what will be the time in your country at 7.30pm UTC. You will find us in the Freenode channel #piwik.
