Matomo 4.13.0
We are proud to announce Matomo 4.13.0: a new release of Matomo Analytics.
What’s new?
This is another maintenance release improving the reliability and stability of Matomo. On top of these fixes and improvements, we have also added helpful guides for sites transitioning from Google Analytics. These can be seen on the getting started tracking page.
In Tag Manager, we have now added support for translations. Much of the text was previously only available in English, but support for other languages can now be added over time as the community contributes the translations.
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.
