Matomo 4.7.0 and 4.7.1 - Analytics Platform

We are proud to announce Matomo 4.7.0: a new release of Matomo Analytics.

Note: We have released 4.7.1 shortly after 4.7.0 to address a small issue in our release process (we prematurely released several changes scheduled for 4.8.0) and to fix several small regressions.

What’s new?

The latest installment in a series of maintenance releases, Matomo 4.7.0 continues the march towards greater reliability and stability. The “What’s New?” notification is a nice improvement allowing Matomo and Plugin Developers to notify users of new features.

This release also sees the migration away from the now deprecated AngularJS significantly progressed, with many components now converted to VueJS which was introduced in 4.6.0.

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.

Platform Changes

Matomo is an open analytics platform. In an effort to help Matomo developers learn about improvements and changes in the core APIs, we document the changes since the last release.

In this 4.7.0 release there are API deprecations and a new feature allowing plugins to display their new features in a “What’s New?” notification. Read more in Platform Changelog for Developers to see all changes to the platform and APIs.

Note: the Marketplace showcases more than 90 plugins already compatible with Matomo and this is just the beginning. Matomo is your universal data analytics platform!
