Database upgrade

  • Note: This release contains major database upgrades and upgrading your database will take a long time if you have a lot of data in your database.
  • Exceptionally when you upgrade your Piwik to 2.7.0 you will run through the Upgrade screen twice (instead of only once as usual). If you use the command line you will have to execute the command ‘./console core:update’ twice. This is expected and normal behavior for this release.

-> Check out this CHANGELOG.md file (in the root of Piwik) to see all changes to the platform and APIs.
