Matomo 3.2.1 - Analytics Platform

We are proud to announce Piwik 3.2.1: a new minor release of Piwik Analytics.

What’s new?

This release brings more than 100 improvements to usability, security, performance and reliability.

Security improvements include the ability to restrict using Piwik for a set of whitelisted IP addresses. To use Piwik faster, when you use Piwik try pressing the question mark key ? to show a list of available keyboard shortcuts. Importing logs with Piwik? Log Analytics has seen a few interesting new features in this release. Or if you use Piwik behind a proxy, with this new release all possible proxy setups are supported. As with most of our releases, new device models are now detected (iPhone X, Huawei and Samsung devices), as well as new social media, new search engines and bots. And we keep fighting spammers and added new referrer spammers thanks to the community suggestions. Finally, new free and premium plugins have been released on the Marketplace! Learn all the details below.
