Breaking

Date formatting uses other formatting notation. One should now use YYYY-MM-DD (all capital).

Changes:

• yyyy to YYYY,
• mm to MM,
• dd to DD

These changes are applied in the migration during the upgrade for you. Weeknumbers (ww) remain lowercase.

If you are using other formats, you have to replace these yourself!

• Notify all recipients when a task fails. This way, the users will know something went wrong, and you will work on a solution. This feature ensures that all recipients know you are aware of the failed task and don't need to contact support.

CHANGES

• The "%Y-%m-%d" formatting has been deprecated for a long time. The new style is: "{yyyy-MM-dd}". You have to use this method from now on. The old format will be removed in the next version. Please update your tasks in time to avoid any inconvenience in the future.

FIXES

• In some cases, recipients were incorrectly added to the 'to' field in the mailing list.
