New option to prevent campaign parameters being recorded

We’ve made it possible for you to configure your tracker to not send campaign parameters to the backend, this is useful if you are trying to follow certain privacy regulations, this can be configured when installing the tracker (see disableCampaignParameters() on this page)

Security release

This release contains some security fixes.

A moderate impact security fix is included in this release, which revealed the database password during the installation process, if it was provided as environment variable. This is e.g. the case for our docker image.

Low impact security improvements include correct escaping of some user provided data used for rendering HTML tooltips in two places. The missing escaping made it possible to inject certain uncritical HTML tags into the tooltip.

These issues were responsibly disclosed to our Security team. Our security bug bounty program welcomes & rewards researchers who discover and responsibly report to us any security issues found in Matomo or any of the plugins created by Matomo/InnoCraft.

Database upgrade

This release does not contain any major database upgrade.
