The release candidate for Matomo (Piwik) 3 is now available.
RC means we think we’re done, but it’s possible we’ve missed something. We hope to ship Matomo 3 on Sunday, December 18th (updated). If you haven’t tested Matomo 3 yet, now is the time! To test Matomo 3, you can use the beta release channel or you can download the release candidate here (zip).
Matomo 3 is a jam-packed release, with a number of features focused on security, performance, and more advanced analytics capabilities. Highlights include new UI design, responsive experience on mobile, better email reports, secure password storage, better tracking of downloads and outlinks, and more.
