About Piwik PRO
Piwik PRO ships steady fortnightly point releases — analytics polish without category moves.
Piwik PRO is a privacy-first web analytics and tag manager platform on a disciplined two-week release cadence (18.57 through 18.66 over the last several months). Recent versions are dominated by Analytics polish and bug fixes — PDF export reliability, dashboard widget edge cases, scheduled-report date range flexibility, Google Ads integration management, and a small but meaningful change letting consent-related reports work without the Consent Manager license. The product looks mature and stable; there's no visible attempt at category-redefining work in this window.
