[Unreleased]

Features

  • Added new trusted_headers, trusted_proxies, and use_forward_headers config options
  • Added new entry page and exit page dimensions
  • Added new screen width and orientation dimensions

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed error when both listen and port config options are set
  • Added retry logic when opening the DuckDB database to handle potential locking issues on startup (e.g. when the database is being updated by another process or when using a shared network drive)
  • Fixed an issue where users with invalid session tokens would show up in the UI as logged in

Other

  • Added ?ref / ?referrer / ?source as fallbacks for UTM source
  • Updated to the latest version of DuckDB (1.5.1)
  • Improved filtering out invalid referrers
  • Improved world map rendering & graph for bounce rate metric
  • Improved UI error messages / loading states

[v1.4.0] - 2026-03-14

  • Updated to the latest version of DuckDB (1.5.0)
  • GeoIP database now automatically reloads if it has been updated on disk / fixed an issue where the GeoIP database would not be updated on the first boot
  • Switched to using axum as the web framework and ua-parser for user-agent parsing
  • Added new listen configuration option to specify the address and port to listen on (can be a socket address or just a port number). The old port option is still supported for backwards compatibility.
  • Some small UI improvements and optimizations
  • Container image is now based on distroless

⚠️ The container now runs as a non-root user (UID 1000)!
If you map a folder to /data and encounter permission issues, ensure it’s owned by UID 1000 (e.g. chown 1000:1000 ./data) or has appropriate permissions (e.g. chmod 777 ./data). You can also override the UID used by Liwan when starting the container by setting the --user flag (e.g. docker run --user 0 ... to keep the old behavior).

[v1.3.0] - 2025-10-12

  • Updated to the latest version of DuckDB (1.4)
  • Graceful shutdown on SIGINT and SIGTERM
  • X86-64-v3 is now the default target architecture for x86_64 Linux builds

[v1.2.1] - 2025-06-21

  • Full dimension values are now shown when hovering over the dimension in the table
  • Updated dependencies & switched to the upstream of DuckDB
  • Now using Jemalloc as the default memory allocator for improved performance and memory usage

[v1.2.0] - 2025-05-19

  • Liwan has been relicensed under the terms of the Apache-2.0 license (this also applies to all previous versions)
  • Updated to the latest version of DuckDB (1.2)

  • Ellipsis for long URLs in the UI
  • Overall performance improvements and memory usage optimizations

[v1.1.1] - 2025-05-19

  • Force duckdb to always checkpoint the database after shutting down. This is required for upgrading to the latest version of duckdb in liwan 1.2, which has issues loading the old checkpoint files when using musl libc.

[v1.1.0] - 2024-12-28
