Download Piwik 2.2.2

In the past few days, two new versions of Piwik have been released in quick succession. This program is an open source alternative to Google Analytics. It uses php and a MySQL database to do its job. The functionality can be easily extended with plugins, of which more than twenty are included. Of course you can also turn it off if certain functionality is not needed. For more information about Piwik, please refer to this page and an overview of the schedule is on this page to find. Since version 2.2.0, the following changes and improvements have been made:

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 PeriodFactory::build() instead
