Matomo 2.0 - Analytics Platform

The Piwik development team announces the immediate availability of Piwik 2.0.

This new major release is the result of 7 months of work by the team and community.

What’s new in Piwik 2.0?

Our vision is to liberate web analytics by building an open platform which will create innovation in the analytics world.
New beautiful theme for Piwik: Morpheus is a flat design theme designed to let you focus on your analytics.
Launch of the Piwik Marketplace for Plugins and Themes!
Browse and install plugins and themes from within your Piwik, in one click. Maybe you would like to try the new TreemapVisualization plugin?
We hope there will be many ‘third party plugins’ available on the Marketplace in 2014 – let us know your ideas or feedback about this.
New: Visitor Profile helps you to understand your visitors’ individual behavior by summarizing and listing your visitors’ visits.

The Piwik core developers along with the developers community will continue to release new versions and improve the platform next year.

Updates from Piwik 1.x

Updates from previous versions should work seamlessly, but it may take a while to run the Database schema upgrades.

On large Piwik setups (if your Piwik database is 100Mb size or more), make sure to run the Update Script from the Shell!

After You Update

Please use the forums for free support.
After the update, if you get a white page or the CSS is not working (Piwik appears black and white), see this FAQ.
Contact Piwik Professional Services for Piwik for any enquiry, custom development or to learn more about professional Piwik hosting
Help us spread the word about Piwik on your blog, website, twitter, at conferences, and to your friends and colleagues.
Already 1,000,000 websites have liberated their web analytics but we hope this is just the beginning. Thank you for your support!
To improve Piwik in your language consider contributing to translations.

Credits go to the Piwik team for their achievement, as well as our Wonderful sponsors and our Friends.
