Changelog

The following changes have been made since 2.1.5:

Added

• Ability to sort by and compare the exit_rate metric in the dashboard Exit Pages > Details report
• Add top 3 pages into the traffic spike email
• Two new shorthand time periods 28d and 91d available on both dashboard and in public API
• Average scroll depth metric
• Scroll Depth goals
• Dashboard shows comparisons for all reports
• UTM Medium report and API shows (gclid) and (msclkid) for paid searches when no explicit utm medium present.
• Support for case_sensitive: false modifiers in Stats API V2 filters for case-insensitive searches.
• Add text version to emails #4674
• Add acquisition channels report
• Add filter is not for goals in dashboard #4983
• Add Segments feature
• Support ["is", "segment", []] filter in Stats API
• Time on page metric is now sortable in reports
• Plausible tracker script now reports maximum scroll depth reached and time engaged with the site in an engagement event. These are reported as sd and e integer parameters to /api/event endpoint respectively. If you’re using a custom proxy for plausible script, please ensure that these parameters are being passed forward.
• Plausible tracker script now reports the version of the script in the v parameter sent with each request.
• Add support for creating and managing teams owning multiple sites
• Introduce “billing” team role for users
• Introduce “editor” role with permissions greater than “viewer” but lesser than “admin”
• Support behavioral filters has_done and has_not_done on the Stats API to allow filtering sessions by other events that have been completed.
• time_on_page metric is now graphable, sortable on the dashboard, and available in the Stats API and CSV and GA4 exports/imports

Removed

• Internal stats API routes no longer support legacy dashboard filter format.
• Dashboard no longer shows “Unique visitors” in top stats when filtering by a goal which used to count all users including ones who didn’t complete the goal. “Unique conversions” shows the number of unique visitors who completed the goal.

Changed

• Default period for brand new sites is now today rather than last 28 days. On the next day, the default changes to last 28 days.
• Increase decimal precision of the “Exit rate” metric from 0 to 1 (e.g. 67 -> 66.7)
• Increase decimal precision of the “Conversion rate” metric from 1 to 2 (e.g. 16.7 -> 16.67)
• The “Last 30 days” period is now “Last 28 days” on the dashboard and also the new default. Keyboard shortcut T still works for last 30 days.
• Last 7d and 30d periods do not include today anymore
• Filters appear in the search bar as ?f=is,page,/docs,/blog&f=… instead of ?filters=((is,page,(/docs,/blog)),…) for Plausible links sent on various platforms to work reliably.
• Details modal search inputs are now case-insensitive.
• Improved report performance in cases where site has a lot of unique pathnames
• Plausible script now uses fetch with keepalive flag as default over XMLHttpRequest. This will ensure more reliable tracking. Reminder to use compat script variant if tracking Internet Explorer is required.
• The old /api/health healtcheck is soft-deprecated in favour of separate /api/system/health/live and /api/system/health/ready checks
• Changed top bar filter menu and how applied filters wrap
• Main graph now shows revenue with relevant currency symbol when hovering a data point
• Main graph now shows - instead of 0 for visit duration, scroll depth when hovering a data point with no visit data
• Make Stats and Sites API keys scoped to teams they are created in
• Remove permissions to manage sites guests and run destructive actions from team editor and guest editor roles in favour of team admin role
• Time-on-page metric has been reworked. It now uses engagement events sent by plausible tracker script. We still use the old calculation methods for periods before the self-hosted instance was upgraded. Warnings are shown in the dashboard and API when legacy calculation methods are used.
• Always set site and team member limits to unlimited for Community Edition
• Stats API now supports more date_range shorthand options like 30d, 3mo.
• Stop showing Plausible footer when viewing stats, except when viewing a public dashboard or unembedded shared link dashboard.

Fixed

• Fix fetching favicons from DuckDuckGo when the domain includes a pathname
• Fix visitors.csv (in dashboard CSV export) vs dashboard main graph reporting different results for visitors and visits with a time:minute interval.
• The tracker script now sends pageviews when a page gets loaded from bfcache
• Fix returning filter suggestions for multiple custom property values in the dashboard Filter modal
• Fix typo on login screen
• Fix Direct / None details modal not opening
• Fix year over year comparisons being offset by a day for leap years
• Breakdown modals now display correct comparison values instead of 0 after pagination
• Fix database mismatch between event and session user_ids after rotating salts
• /api/v2/query no longer returns a 500 when querying percentage metric without visitors
• Fix current visitors loading when viewing a dashboard with a shared link
• Fix Conversion Rate graph being unselectable when “Goal is …” filter is within a segment
• Fix Channels filter input appearing when clicking Sources in filter menu or clicking an applied “Channel is…” filter
• Fix Conversion Rate metrics column disappearing from reports when “Goal is …” filter is within a segment
• Graph tooltip now shows year when graph has data from multiple years
