About Open Web Analytics
Open Web Analytics 1.14.7 ships unspecified security fixes and a field-clearing command.
Open Web Analytics is a self-hosted web analytics tool. Release 1.14.7 includes security fixes it does not describe, recommends upgrading, needs no schema changes and adds a clear-field-values CLI command with a dry-run mode. It follows a run of 1.14 patches that closed cross-site record access, restored heatmaps broken since 1.10.1 and 1.13.0, and fixed relative date periods that covered the wrong days.
