Voici le changelog de PIWIK 0.6.3

We have just released Piwik 0.6.3, a maitenance release with a some exciting new features. 
NEW! Goal Plugin is now stable and enabled by default
We have finished the work on the Goal plugin backend and User Interface. You can now create several Goals by website (eg. 'Read my page About' matching url '/about/').
For each Goal, you will get reports of how the Goal conversions are performing over the last few days or months, but also across your segments: countries, server time,   keywords, search engine, website, campaign keyword, etc.
The Goal overview dashboard gives you a quick overview of all your Goals and you can view detailed reports for each goal.
Advanced users can also specify a value for each Goal (eg. the Goal 'Newsletter subscribe' is worth $1). For Ecommerce items or items with a dynamic price, you can also set  the exact price by using the Javascript API function trackGoal().
You can check out the full user documentation about Tracking Goals in Piwik,
Piwik Archiving script on Windows, scaling Piwik on Windows just did get a lot easier as Piwik now comes with a PowerShell script that you can use to perform the archiving  process.
Check out the updated How to setup Piwik for larger websites which now includes instructions for Windows users.
The Visitor Generator, a new Plugin that replaces the former generateVisits.php has been added to the core (but plugin is disabled by default) and allows the superuser to  generate fake visit data. This is useful if you want to see in more details how Piwik works without real data, and very useful for developers working and testing Piwik.
For Piwik users updating to 0.6.3
Known bug: on the Piwik dashboard in 0.6.3, you might see a "Widget not found".
Please remove this widget and add the same widget "Visits > Last Visits graph" again after the Piwik update.
User affected by "Piwik 1 is available" message: Users affected are running PHP 5.2.0 (and above) with either safe_mode enabled or open_basedir set, and using the curl  extension. You can patch your existing Piwik installation manually since the "one-click" update would fail in this case. We recommend that affected 0.6.2 users replace  piwik/core/Http.php with the new version.
Note: You may have to wait up to 8 hrs for the cached version number to update.
