About Open Web Analytics

A decade-old analytics project is rebuilding its foundations release by release.

Open Web Analytics is in the middle of a sustained modernization run. Since 1.9.0 raised the PHP floor to 8.2 and replaced the JavaScript build, each release has repaired something structural: the update mechanism, PSR-4 autoloading, REST response shapes, and a deny-all web-access posture that briefly broke fresh installs. Release notes are unusually candid about upgrade steps and about what past versions got wrong.
