Also, in all table reports, the first column will now stick to the left, making it easier to view your data when the table is wide and you’re scrolling right to view more columns. It is now easier to validate your segments when you create and edit them: you can now click a “Test” button which will show the list of all visits matching the segment in a popover. We also released a new plugin DeviceDetectorCache which makes Tracking API requests faster and use less CPU. You can now specific a INI setting (`live_query_max_execution_time`) to let any Real-time SQL query time out after a few minutes and prevent them from running for hours possibly doing nothing (we found this setting very valuable to prevent edge cases of slow running/never finishing SQL queries for high-traffic Matomo servers). We’ve made a dozen smaller performance improvements such as making Real-time queries faster for high traffic sites, made improvements to the DB Writer/Reader feature, introduced a new `core:archive` parameter to disable processing of reports for segments for “Today” ` –skip-segments-today` which is very useful when you have a lot of segments. With each new release, Matomo becomes faster and more reliable. And this change has also fixed a persistent issue which was reported dozens of times over the years in multiple tickets. This is a major performance improvement and if you run a high traffic Matomo site or if you are using many segments, you should notice a significant reduction in CPU and IO usage during the core:archive archiving cron task.
With this release, we have also significantly changed the way the data archiving process works and in particular we have rewritten SQL queries in a way that makes archiving significantly faster across the board. Try out these features today in your Matomo to see the power behind this new data comparison mode. You can now compare multiple dates within the calendar selector in Matomo:Īnd you can compare segments together with a click within the Segment editor: Introducing the Data and Segment Comparison feature! We’re excited to deliver one of the most exciting new features in years. Matomo 3.12.0 comes with a very exciting new feature, several significant performance improvements, usability improvements and fixes to security issues. We are proud to announce Matomo 3.12.0: a new release of Matomo Analytics.
