🎉 Matomo 3.4.0 first release candidate

Lukas · March 23, 2018, 9:16am

Hi everyone,

Two months after the last release Matomo 3.4.0 is coming soon. Today we have published the first release candidate.

This is going to be a large release with many new features and more than 160 closed issues.

It would be great if as many people as possible could test this and provide their feedback here, so any remaining bugs could be fixed before the release. If you want to update to 3.4.0-rc1 go to the “General Settings” and change the release channel to the latest beta release.

Keep in mind that this isn’t a stable release, so please make a backup before updating or install it on a copy of you Matomo instance.

All fixes:
