Analytics

  • Full page path dimension — Custom Results now includes a page path dimension that reports the complete URL path (without domain, query string, or fragment). Use it alongside path segments when you need to analyze whole pages rather than individual path parts.
  • Goal dimensions and metrics — Custom Results and dashboards can break down data by Matomo conversion goals and measure goal-specific metrics. Dashboard tiles can be scoped to a conversion goal so results reflect only visits that converted.
  • Dashboard sort order — Dashboards can be manually ordered with a sort index in the edit drawer; the sidebar list follows your chosen order.
  • Currency-aware revenue — Revenue and revenue-per-visit metrics now format using each website's currency in charts, tables, and tooltips.

PII Scan

  • Smarter detection — Adjacent fragments of the same type are merged into one mask (for example multi-word names and spaced-out phone or postcode digits). Masking applies to whole words only, and standalone punctuation is no longer flagged.
  • PII scan settings — A new Administration page lets you choose which PII categories to detect and tune combination rules (for example person titles only when a location or organization is also present).
  • Clearer redaction view — Mask type labels appear in the settings sidebar only, not inline in the response text. Redacted output uses short placeholders such as {{name}} and {{phone}}.

Documentation

  • Regex in Academy — Academy now documents how to write regular expressions for analytics filters, including RE2 syntax reference for building segment and filter rules.

Analytics & Reporting

  • Language version selector — Beta analytics now includes a Website dropdown in the global filter (same placement as dashboards). Choose all main URLs, all staging/testing URLs, or a specific language site to scope results without building manual segments. The selection is saved on your filter and applied server-side across Matomo visits, actions, conversions, GA4 events, and survey responses. The control appears only when there is more than one URL to choose from.

Operations & Reliability

  • Worker failure alerts — Background job failures now log rich context to the console (queue, job name, attempt count, payload, and stack trace). Slack maintenance alerts are sent only after all retries are exhausted, with truncated payload and stack details so on-call can diagnose terminal failures faster.

Analytics & Goals

  • Goals in the sidebar — Beta analytics now lists each Matomo goal in the left navigation. Open a goal to see the shared Goals dashboard scoped to visits that converted on that goal.
  • Nested entry pages — Expanding a folder in beta analytics now includes the index page (shown as /), with counts scoped correctly to the parent folder so totals match legacy analytics.

Surveys & Customer Experience

  • CX data sources — Analytics and Overview tabs are hidden for Customer Experience data sources, so navigation shows only CX Surveys (matching how Heatmaps is hidden for non-website modules).
  • Installation health — The “no recent data” warning no longer appears for survey-only sites with visitor tracking turned off. Survey responses now update the site’s last-activity timestamp, so healthy survey installations stay green.

Session Recordings

  • URL parameter rules — When editing a session recording with a “URL parameter” target rule, the “Value to match” field is preserved on save and reload.

Licensing

  • License upgrades — Mid-term upgrade pricing now credits your existing license using the correct yearly or monthly rate, so the remaining-period charge reflects the true price difference.

AI & Privacy

  • PII detection — Survey open-text responses can be scanned by an internal EU-hosted PII model. Detected personal data is stored for review and feeds the existing flagged-comments workflow, replacing the older keyword-based approach when the service is enabled.

Analytics & Reporting

  • Event tracking — Break down by Event category, Event name and Event action, and count unique events with the Events metric.
  • Event values — When your events have numeric values, you can now see Total event value, Average event value, Max event value, and Min event value.
  • Page and action details — Filter and break down by Action path, Pageview URL, Pageview path, and Pageview title.
  • Goal conversions — Replaced the old goal conversions metric with Goal conversion visits, which counts unique visits that converted on at least one goal.
  • Visits — Clarified the description of Visits.

AI Assistants as Traffic Source

  • Referring AI assistant — Traffic from AI assistants (such as ChatGPT, Perplexity) is now tracked as its own dimension.
  • Filter and segment by AI assistants as a traffic source.

Data & Licensing

  • Question responses — Duplicate survey responses are now removed so each response is counted only once.
  • License renewal — Fixed the renewal date shown in the license flow and simplified the renewal text.

Query Builder

  • Filter labels — Labels for filters like browser, device brand, and operating system are now displayed more clearly and consistently.
