Matomo 3.0.3
We are proud to announce Piwik 3.0.3: a new minor release of Piwik Analytics.
What’s new?
Piwik reporting dashboards will now uses less browser memory: several leaks were identified and fixed by a researcher. We’re using completely new Flag icons for all countries + cities + regions reports, and visible in the Visitor Log and Visitor Profile: the new flags are less glossy, flatter and easier to scan! Our email reports report graphs library has been changed for bringing better speed, and compatibility with the latest PHP 7.1. And we’ve created a new project for gathering all our icons in one place and make it easier for anyone to contribute: github.com/piwik/piwik-icons.
Overall, we’ve fixed many small issues reported by our awesome community to make things a bit better everywhere, including more secure. And we’ve added new detections for brands, new device models, new referrer spammers and social networks. And Piwik has never been so fast!

Security release
Because we’ve improved the security of Piwik (more details below), we highly recommend that you upgrade to this 3.0.3 release.
In this release we have disabled the ability for Super Users to upload and install a custom plugin via the ZIP upload form. This can now be enabled by setting a new config file setting (see the changelog below). We also fixed a couple of medium-impact security issues: an XSS and an open redirect issue have been fixed. Both issues required a user to be properly authenticated in a Piwik instance. Thanks to the researchers for responsibly disclosing these issues as part of our Security Bug Bounty Program.
Database upgrade
This release does not contain any major database upgrade.
Platform Changes
Piwik is an open analytics platform. In an effort to help Piwik developers learn about improvements and changes in the core APIs, we document the changes since the last release.
In this 3.0.3 release there are breaking changes, New APIs, and the internal graph charting library (for email reports graphs) has been updated. Read more in Platform Changelog for Developers to see all changes to the platform and APIs.
Note: the Marketplace showcases more than 48 plugins already compatible with Piwik 3 but we think this is just the beginning. Piwik is your universal data analytics platform!
