Matomo 4.14.0 and 4.14.1 - Analytics Platform

We are proud to announce Matomo 4.14.0: a new release of Matomo Analytics.

What’s new?

Platform Changes

Matomo is an open analytics platform. In an effort to help Matomo developers learn about improvements and changes in the core APIs, we document the changes since the last release.

In this 4.14.0 release there is a change to the HTTP tracking API, the campaign attribution tracking parameters `_rcn` and `_rck` are no longer used to attribute visits. Those parameters will now only be used to attribute conversions. If you want to manually attribute a visit to a campaign ensure to attach camapign parameters to the tracked URL instead. The Tracking API Reference documentation was updated.

Read more in Platform Changelog for Developers to see all changes to the platform and APIs.

Note: the Marketplace showcases more than 90 plugins already compatible with Matomo and this is just the beginning. Matomo is your universal data analytics platform!
