What’s new in our latest release?

Matomo 5.9.0, our latest minor release, delivers a range of improvements to security, reporting, and privacy-related features. It introduces three notable enhancements: CNIL compliance in one click, a dedicated Segment Management page, and an improved Calendar with additional date presets for faster reporting workflows.

Release Highlights

Simplify CNIL compliance: One click, every setting covered

Getting a site CNIL-compliant no longer means manually going through settings one by one. Simply enable the Enforce compliance option, hit Save, and Matomo applies a CNIL-compliant configuration to your selected site automatically. A built-in Self-Assessment Table then lets you review each requirement against CNIL’s published criteria.

Learn more about the new CNIL compliance feature.

Segment management: Build, edit, and organise in a dedicated space

The new Segments page gives you a dedicated space to create, edit, and organise all your segments in one place. This improves visibility and simplifies segment management workflows. You can access the Segments page from the Visitors menu and the segment selector. Explore the Manage Segments page.

New Calendar date presets: Skip the clicks, get to your data

The updated calendar includes additional date presets for the reporting periods you reach for most. Fewer clicks to get where you’re going means faster access to the insights that matter.

What’s new in our latest release?

Matomo 5.8.0, our latest minor release, delivers a major new capability: dedicated reports for tracking AI chatbot traffic. The release also improves reporting and exports, and core backend updates to enhance performance, API behaviour, and platform stability.

Release Highlight

AI is reshaping traffic – measure the shift in AI Chatbot reports

AI-driven tools are redefining how website traffic is generated and consumed. Human visits alone no longer represent total site activity, as AI chatbots crawl, retrieve, and use website content to generate answers.

This release introduces dedicated AI Chatbot reports that isolate and measure automated chatbot activity separately from human visits. AI chatbot tracking includes:

• Dedicated AI Chatbots Overview and Over Time reports in the AI Assistants report menu.
• Telemetry ingestion via the HTTP Tracking API, with support for Cloudflare, Amazon CloudFront, and WordPress.
• On the All Websites dashboard, the Total AI Chatbots Requests shows the total number of AI chatbot requests for all tracked sites.
• The dashboard Total Hits metric now includes the total of human visits and AI chatbot requests across all tracked sites.
