- Update: 3.13.1
In this release we’re focusing on fixing a few bugs, a regression in tracking
unique visitors affecting some users, we’re making Matomo tracking slightly
faster, and we ensure compatibility with the upcoming Chrome 80 browser.
+ This release is also rated critical and includes a major security fix.
+ A regression was introduced in 3.13.0 which could in some cases lead
to inflate unique visitors/unique users metrics, when the User ID
feature is used: this regression has been fixed.
+ Another regression causing some of the number metrics to display
wrongly in some languages such as German has been fixed.
+ As the default geolocation provider MaxMind is introducing new
complicated licensing terms for their geolocation database, and
broke auto-updating of geolocation databases for Matomo, we’re
introducing a new Geolocation provider by default to replace MaxMind.
Matomo will now use db-ip.com as a geolocation provider and all
Matomo users will automatically download this new geolocation
database starting in 3.13.1.
+ Chrome 80 is planning to make all cookies that don’t have an explicit
`SameSite` option have `SameSite=Lax` by default. So far it has been
an optional flag but Chrome 80 (release due in January 2020) will have
it enabled by default.
Matomo 3.13.1 will be fully compatible and won’t issue a browser
console warning anymore.
+ The Countries Regions maps should now work again and display data
for most countries regions.
+ In terms of new features, we’ve improved the Behaviour > Engagement report,
which will now clearly display all metrics for both Returning visits and
New visits
