About Open Web Analytics
Open Web Analytics patches 1.14 in quick succession, fixing date ranges and heatmaps.
Since 1.14.0 added acquisition dimensions and data-repair commands in September, OWA has shipped patches up to 1.14.6 (1.14.5 is missing from the feed). 1.14.1 fixed cross-site access in REST reports and the recording player, where a user granted one site could read another site's records. Later patches restore heatmaps that had been broken since 1.10.1 and 1.13.0, fix URL query filtering, and correct relative periods: 'Last seven days' had covered eight days, and periods now count calendar days so daylight-saving changes don't shift them.
