Platform Changes
Piwik is an open analytics platform. In an effort to help Piwik developers learn about improvements and changes in the core APIs, we document the changes since the last release.
In this 3.0.4 release there are new JavaScript tracker APIs and new platform events.
Read more in Platform Changelog for Developers to see all changes to the platform and APIs.
