 * The creation of settings has slightly changed to improve performance. It is now possible to create new settings via the method `$this->makeSetting()` see `Piwik\Plugins\ExampleSettingsPlugin\SystemSettings` for an example.
 * It is no longer possible to define an introduction text for settings.
 * If requesting multipe periods for one report, the keys that define the range are no longer translated. For example before 3.0 an API response may contain: `<result date="From 2010-02-01 to 2010-02-07">` which is now `<result date="2010-02-01,2010-02-07">`.
-* The method `Piwik\Plugin\Archiver::shouldRunWithoutVisits()` has been added. It gives plugin archivers the possibility to decide whether to run if there weren't any visits by overwriting this method.
+* The method `Piwik\Plugin\Archiver::shouldRunEvenWhenNoVisits()` has been added. By overwriting this method and returning true, a plugin archiver can force the archiving to run even when there was no visit for the website/date/period/segment combination (by default, archivers are skipped when there is no visit).
 * The following deprecated events have been removed as mentioned.
  * `Tracker.existingVisitInformation` Use [dimensions](http://developer.piwik.org/guides/dimensions) instead of using `Tracker` events.
  * `Tracker.newVisitorInformation`
