Important
This release includes a new database migration. In this update we are making some changes to Events. Now instead of event_type and event_value columns, there is going to be a single renamed column, event_name. Having the two separate columns caused a lot of confusion regarding what to store in each field. There is now a new table called event_data which is used to store event related data. In the future you will be able to run reports against your events and event data.
Now to track events, you simply choose an event name, like button-click and optionally send some JSON data along with it.
umami.trackEvent('button-click', { userId: 123, buttonName: 'Newsletter signup' });When you start the app for the first time, the database changes will be automatically applied. Your data however will not be automatically migrated because we can't determine what event_name you will want to use. Your old event table has been renamed to _event_old, which you can use to manually move data to the new table. If you've never used events, feel free to delete the _event_old table.
Features

- New languages: Thai and Bengali! 🐯 🥳
- Edit dashboard feature. You can now sort websites on the dashboard
- UTM parameters section is now Query parameters. This now captures all the URL query parameters, not just UTM
- Refactored handling of environment variables. Before, some environment variables had to be defined at built-time versus run-time, which caused a lot of issues for Docker users. With this change we can now access all environment variables at runtime. No need to rebuild the application or Docker image.
