v1.32.0 Changes
January 31, 2022- Redesigned Persons & Groups pages.
- Short link sharing.
- π Improved insight experience.
- Funnels vertical breakdown.
- π Significant performance improvements to the Actions page. When viewing an action, we'll now show you the most recent events (~6 months ago) without constant polling. This should make it easy and faster to debug actions.
- π When your users are in multiple tabs, we'll now properly separate recordings so you can see what users were doing on each tab. Previously this could lead with a botched experience when playing back recordings.
- π To improve query performance, the "All time" filter will now only consider events from 2015 onwards. We realized some instances had events with incorrect timestamps (frequently UNIX epoch [Jan 1, 1970]), which would lead to performance issues and hard to parse graphs.
- π Fixed a bug when if a user joined an organization with private projects, they would get a broken experience (from being assigned to a project to which they don't have access).
- π Improved performance and increase execution size for complex retention queries.
- π Newly design Preflight page to update with our latest brand.
- π Fixed a bug in which a lot of failing requests would be made when opening a shared dashboard unauthenticated.
- π Fixed a bug in which filtering insights by "Yesterday" and "Daily" would lead to two data points instead of one.
- π Plus 330+ improvements & fixes. More details on the Array blog post.

- π» Following our lemonade redesign we now have a ton more UI improvements. In particular tables got a pretty sleek facelift.
- π§ We've improved the layout configuration for dashboards so they'll be more responsive and look better on very small or very large screens.

v1.30.0 Changes
November 17, 2021- Fresh new look-and-feel. PostHog just got a lot fresher! We have a brand new UI and layout that had been in the works, codenamed
lemonade
(because it's fresh). It's not only a new coat of paint - we've also pushed a lot of improvements to overall navigation and performance too. We call it turbo mode. - Correlation analysis. Want to understand why users convert or churn? Presenting: Correlation analysis. This nifty new insight automatically matches funnels to any relevant conversion signals, giving you effortless correlation information such as "Users in Canada are 5x more likely to convert" or "Users in Chrome are 3x less likely to convert". This is a very powerful which enables you to take funnel optimization to the next level.
- πΎ Saved insights. Tired of creating the same insights multiple times? You can now save insights on PostHog without adding them to a dashboard. Further, you're able to see, search and filter a list of insights created by other team members - which makes it a lot easier to collaborate with PostHog.
- Fully revamped recordings. The recordings playback experience just got a lot better. From significant performance improvements (you'll no longer need to wait for the entire recording to load), to a brand new playback interface. Find the right spot in a recording quickly and understand better what your users are doing.

v1.27.0 Changes
July 26, 2021- New Funnels Experience.
- Funnels have a new bar-chart visualization and show more comprehensive metrics. You can now choose whether to display conversion rates for the full funnel or from each step to the next.
- Breakdowns are now supported on funnels! This allows you to identify how user and event properties (for instance, browser or referral source) affect your conversions.
- Clicking on a funnel step will reveal a list of persons who have continued or dropped off at that step. From there, you can easily view their sessions (provided you have Session Recording enabled) to find unknown problems or opportunities that would otherwise be hidden in the data.
- Going beyond averages, the new Time to Convert view shows a distribution of time spent between steps or for the whole funnel.
- Revamp of legend table & insight tooltips.
- The legend table for Insights has received a major styling revamp, including nicer formatting for dates and numbers and clearer identification of breakdown values.
- New tooltips allow you to scan and compare multiple values at a glance.
- New filter experience.
- It's now easier than ever to find the event, user, or cohort definitions you're looking for when adding a filter to a query. This change also causes Insights to load significantly faster.
- π Clickhouse is now free to use!
- We have ironed out all the details and have now decided to make the Clickhouse backend fully free now, no longer requiring a license nor having any additional restrictions. This comes from our commitment to supporting teams and companies of any size, so you can continue using PostHog for free even if your event volume increases significantly.
- Clickhouse is deployed a bit differently than our traditional deployment options, you can find full deployment instructions in https://github.com/PostHog/charts-clickhouse/

v1.26.0 Changes
June 15, 2021You requested and we delivered!
π
posthog-node
andposthog-go
now both support feature flags. Ruby and PHP are coming next.We're making our libraries world-class, and this cycle also saw significant improvements to
posthog-python
,posthog-js
, andposthog-flutter
. We now have a dedicated team responsible for our libraries, so expect development to speed up!π Thank you to everyone in the community for supporting us with feature requests and PRs.
π±
π¨ Following a few refactors, funnel trends are now available in beta for Cloud and self-hosted Scale users.
π Funnel trends let you see how conversion in a funnel changes over time, as well as specify the time taken between steps for a conversion to be counted.
π±
If you didn't already know, almost all datapoints in PostHog's 'Insights' section are clickable and reveal the users that make up that datapoint.
Well, now those users can be exported in CSV format, so you can use them in other tools or even create a static PostHog cohort from them.
π Thanks a lot for building this c3ho!
Continuing on the libraries theme, a much-requested feature is now live for
posthog-js
: retries!Requests that fail because of for example, the client's network connection, will now be retried up to 10 times within an hour, making sure you miss as few events as possible. So if your user's internet goes down and comes back up, you'll still receive the events that happened when they were offline.
π Also, Neil fixed a bug that sent requests to a wrong endpoint (with no impact on tracking). You can read about how Neil solved this issue on his blog.
- π New plugins for Redshift, PostgreSQL, Salesforce, and PagerDuty
π We've just released 4 new integrations with major platforms to enhance your PostHog experience.
π Export data to Redshift, Postgres, and Salesforce, and leverage the PagerDuty plugin to get alerts when metrics in PostHog cross thresholds you specify.
- New querying experience
π±
π We've redesigned and significantly improved the performance of the query builder in PostHog 'Trends'!
