Matomo 3.5.0

We are proud to announce Matomo 3.5.0: a new major release of Matomo Analytics.

What’s new?

Matomo 3.5.0 brings you many new Privacy tools to help bring compliance with GDPR regulations. For example you can now easily export, or delete, data for any visit or visitor. New tools were introduced to let you Anonymise old historical data (IP Address, replace User ID with a pseudonym, etc.), and for asking for user consent. You will also enjoy better security for example: Tracking codes will more often use HTTPS. And you can configure Matomo to connect to your database over SSL. Matomo performs also even better under high data processing load with several performance improvements.

-> And an important news: you can now enable the new GeoIp2 plugin in order to use the modern geolocation database. So we recommend if possible that you try the GeoIp2 geolocation driver for more accurate geolocation information. Since Geoip1 databases are not updated anymore, we recommend you try Geoip2 if possible.

Finally, we’ve made several Privacy-by-design improvements to our Tracker Proxy tool (useful to hide your Matomo URL when tracking many websites into the same Matomo instance),io you can see the detailed improvements below.
