May 1, 2026

May 2026 monthly summary highlighting two high-impact feature improvements across Matomo plugins, focusing on security, compatibility, and data accuracy. 1) GoogleAnalyticsImporter: Security and compatibility upgrade by updating phpseclib and scoped dependencies to support newer PHP versions and strengthen security posture. This reduces dependency risk and ensures continued compatibility with evolving hosting environments. 2) MarketingCampaignsReporting: Campaign detection fallback mechanism to improve attribution reliability. When campaign_* parameters are missing, the plugin now checks referrer attribution cookies (_rcn and _rck) to retrieve campaign information, enhancing data quality in scenarios with missing URL parameters. Overall impact: Improved analytics accuracy, reduced risk from deprecated dependencies, and stronger readiness for deployment across client environments. Demonstrated skills in dependency management, PHP ecosystem tooling, cookies-based attribution, and code quality improvements. Top line: Delivered business-value features with clear technical improvements and readiness for broader adoption.

November 2025 (matomo-org/tag-manager): Focused on test maintenance to align UI tests with a core icon change. Updated UI tests to reflect the icon change in the core component, ensuring the test suite remains valid after the modification. This work directly supports release readiness by preventing CI/test regressions stemming from UI changes.
