• Improved export/import of tasks.

[3.0.0] - 12-01-2024

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!

Release date: 09-02-2023

NEW FEATURES

• Use a placeholder {name} in the subject, header, footer, or body of the mail. When you use a mailing list, it will use the name from there and fill in the placeholder.
• In the header and footer, you can place an image. Upload an image, specify the height, width, and alignment, and add it to the email.
• Now, you can specify the header and footer of the mail. For example, add a company logo and some address details.
• Specify the reply-to and mail-from settings per task. When setting the mail from email, your authentication mail account in the .env file should have permission to send in the name of that email address.
• The query builder now supports setting a parameter. To do that, prepend the parameter name with "Parameters." (week_number => Parameters.week_number)

[2.1.0] - 25-01-2023

Release date: 25-01-2023

NEW FEATURES

• Allow the option to include a folder name in the filename field. This feature enables you to store a pdf file in path/filename.pdf. This is useful when organizing your files in a specific folder structure.
• Test connection on the Sites page is now possible with the settings you filled in on the page before saving it. This allows you to check the connection settings and verify everything works correctly before saving it.
• Use a date-time format in the description field of the task. It will end up in the subject of the email. This feature allows you to include the task's date and time in the email's subject, making it easier to identify the moment of the update.
• 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

• The view updates immediately after importing some recipients to a mailing list.
• In some cases, recipients were incorrectly added to the 'to' field in the mailing list.
• Reset the token in case of a 401 or 403 unauthorized response. After that, we will request a new token. This ensures that the software can handle unauthorized responses and function correctly.
