Matomo 5.0.1

We’re releasing 5.0.1 to address some bugs, an enhancement to the tag manager and also some nice performance improvements.

What’s new?

This patch fixes a regression issue when upgrading to Matomo 5 when you are using the MyISAM storage engine for MySQL 8.

It’s also now possible to use variables in the custom variables in the tag manager.

There have also been a number of bug fixes and performance improvements added as well.

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.
