Matomo 4.1.0

We are proud to announce Matomo 4.1.0: a new release of Matomo Analytics.

What’s new?

In this release we’re mostly addressing bugs that were reported in the previous releases and also making minor small improvements.

Reminder: Since Matomo 4.0 the JS tracker is now using “navigator.sendBeacon” by default. If you are using a Content Security Policy header, please adjust your header to also allow “connect-src” see the example in our FAQ. Alternatively, you can disable “sendBeacon” using the JS tracker method _paq.push(["disableAlwaysUseSendBeacon"]);.

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.
