What's New in Matomo 2.7
In this release there are API deprecations (adding items to menu), new plugin APIs, new Reporting APIs and a new command './console core:clear-caches' lets you easily delete all caches.
Reporting APIs
- Several APIs will now expose a new metric nb_users which measures the number of unique users when a User ID is set.
- New APIs have been added for Content Tracking feature: Contents.getContentNames, Contents.getContentPieces
Deprecations
- The Piwik\Menu\MenuAbstract::add() method is deprecated in favor of addItem(). Read more about this here: #6140. We do not plan to remove the deprecated method before Piwik 3.0.
New APIs
- It is now easier to generate the URL for a menu item see #6140, urlForDefaultAction(), urlForAction(), urlForModuleAction()
New commands
- core:clear-caches Lets you easily delete all caches. This command can be useful for instance after updating Piwik files manually.
