Dear Matomo (Piwik) community,
We are excited to announce the release of the first public beta version of Matomo 2.0.
This is software still in development and we really dont recommend that you run it on a production site set up a test database just to play with the new version.
Matomo 2.0 is a major update from Matomo 1.12 and is the result of 5 months of work on the platform!
What’s changed?
We focused on upgrading Matomo source code quality and maintainability: upgraded to PHP 5.3 using namespaces, changed templating library to Twig, started using composer, using Less as well as css, improved QA tests, introduced new Screenshots tests, refactored translations to nice JSON format, refactored LOTS of code, added documentation….
There also performance improvements, in particular the “All Websites Dashboard” is now usable with 20,000+ websites!
Several bugs were fixed and we added some very-special-and-exciting new features.
See the list of closed tickets in Matomo 2.0, or learn more about our recent developments in the Development update blog post.
Matomo 2 is the open platform for your analytics data!
How to update to Matomo 2.0 beta?
- You can tell Matomo to use the latest beta from within the user interface. See this FAQ: [piwik.org]
- or alternatively you may download the latest beta from the build server, upload these files on top of your existing piwik files, and visit Matomo to upgrade.
Beta cycle
The more you test the beta, the more stable our release candidates and our final release will be. If you think youve found a bug, you can post it in this forum post. Or, if youre comfortable writing a reproducible bug report, file one. The stable Matomo 2.0 release is planned for mid-November!
Happy testing,
