Matomo 4.10.0 - Analytics Platform

We are proud to announce Matomo 4.10.0: a new release of Matomo Analytics.

What’s new?

This is a maintenance release improving the reliability and stability of Matomo, fixing several bugs and improving the user interface.

One useful feature to note is the Tag Manager now provides a « stick to top » or « stick to bottom » toggle to allow moving the preview window, avoiding blocking visibility of other page elements.

We are grateful for all community members who reported feedback and suggestions, our awesome team of translators for their work, and our Premium features customers and Matomo Cloud hosting customers for their amazing support.

Platform Changes

Matomo is an open analytics platform. In an effort to help Matomo developers learn about improvements and changes in the core APIs, we document the changes since the last release.

In this 4.10.0 release there is one breaking change where previously static json files are no longer considered safe to serve and generated htaccess files will now exclude them. Read more in Platform Changelog for Developers to see all changes to the platform and APIs.

Note: the Marketplace showcases more than 90 plugins already compatible with Matomo and this is just the beginning. Matomo is your universal data analytics platform!
