On the one hand, it is great that so many users are working with WP-Piwik, on the other hand this makes the maintenance much harder. I can just invite users to join beta tests like the one I did for 0.10.x (https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/100-become-a-beta-tester), but with just a few active participants every update is like a shot in the dark.
I promise I do my very best to avoid issues (and accordingly unnecessary updates).
And explained here – also the testing process which is done:

Well, if I would not release WP-Piwik in beta form, there never had been a WP-Piwik release at all. 😉 WP-Piwik was never declared as a finished product. This is also shown by the version number beginning with 0 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_versioning). I even would call all WP-Piwik versions below 0.10.x as alpha versions.
So from this point of view, there is no difference between 0.10.0.3 and previous releases. Quite the contrary, 0.10.0.3 is the best tested WP-Piwik release ever:
The release process for 0.9 or earlier was…
a) Test on my local development machine
b) Test on several virtual testing environments (e.g., for network testing)
c) Test on my own live blogs
d) Release via ww.wp.xz.cn
0.10.x was intended to prepare the 1.0 release – the first “finished” release of WP-Piwik. Because of the comprehensive changes, the release process was extended for 0.10…
a) Test on my local development machine
b) Test on several virtual testing environments
c) Test on my own live blogs
d) Single site beta offered via ww.wp.xz.cn (0.10.0.0)
e) a-c again
f) Network site beta offered via ww.wp.xz.cn (0.10.0.1)
g) a-c again
h) Full feature beta offered via ww.wp.xz.cn (0.10.0.2)
i) a-c again
j) Release via ww.wp.xz.cn (0.10.0.3)
All interested (especially all subscribed) testers (https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/100-become-a-beta-tester) had the chance to test .0, .1 and .2. I got no feedback about major issues, so there was no reason to withhold 0.10.0.3.
But as you see in union-web’s post, even this is no guarantee. There are just too many different configurations to be sure in any case. 🙁 I’m reliant on the communities feedback to consider all imaginable possibilities.
But after the release of 1.0 there won’t be as many updates as before. Currently I will provide max. 1 update per week (e.g., language updates, new features, minor requests). Only if there is an urgent issue I will provide an additional update, of course.
I will also provide a beta program again to test new versions with bigger changes before they are released.
