Hi guys,

I am really happy to announce that Mailwizz 1.3.5.9 is now available for download after so much hard work.
You can get it from your Mailwizz Customer Area for now given that CC submission can take several days.

This is a huge release, where a lot of features have been added, some changed and few deprecated, hopefully nothing will break after upgrade, but as always, please, backup your data before upgrading and do this first in a staging environment to see how things work in your case.

IMPORTANT: There are a few sql queries for adding indexes to tables that are possibly very large, say the campaign_delivery_log table for instance which can have few million records.
You really should run the upgrade from the command line (you are prompted to do so from backend once you upload your files).
If you have few million records in database, the upgrade might take a while because adding indexes in mysql is not a fast process, so please wait for it.

As usual, here is the changelog for this release:

Hi Twisted,

One question about the new un-blacklist feature.

What will happen with the visitors that have been un-blacklisted
with previous versions but still appeared as blacklisted? (before
the new feature was added).

I know that (from what we've chatted in a another thread),
from now on you unblacklist and subscribers are set
to confirmed...but what will happen with those who have been
"unblacklisted" in with a previous version?

For example: I have 400 emails that were blacklisted
because of a wrong setting in elasticemail (bounced).

I've unblackisted them (again with the previous version)...
but i know that they're still blacklisted...

Now i have a mix of legit & not legit blacklisted
people (the 400)...and don't know what to do.

Will this new version do some sort of synchronization
when is activated (example: a SQL to set to "confirmed"
those blacklisted subs who are not in the "Blacklisted"
list)?

If not, what can i do to synchronize this?

Thanks a lot,

Diego.

You can run a sql query from phpmyadmin and clean your blacklist and list subscribers that are blacklisted. Then, when new subs are added into blacklist and you'll remove them from there, status in the list will be also changed.
 
Hi Twist,

Could you please paste a sql instruction for this?

...Update blacklisted subscribers to confirmed...only if they are not in the list of
"blacklisted" emails.

Thanks a lot,

Diego.

Update:

If someone needs it, here's the code to unblacklist subscribers
that were not un-blacklisted by previous versions of MailWizz
(you don't see them under the blacklist area but still remain
as blacklisted by default).

Code:
UPDATE mw_list_subscriber s SET s.status = 'confirmed' WHERE s.status = 'blacklisted' AND NOT EXISTS (
SELECT *
FROM mw_email_blacklist AS b
WHERE s.subscriber_id = b.subscriber_id
)


Comment: My tables have the prefix "mw_" (yours may have another one).

This code can be executed from PHPMyAdmin.

Although this could not be added to this update, thanks twisted for releasing this new version
and please include this (or similar code) on a new release.

Best Regards,

Diego.

Thanks for the update. I have a quick question

Deprecated the REDIS QUEUE mechanism. If you were sending via Redis Queue, please go back to regular sending

So we can disable REDIS Queue and under Sending Server Settings USE Queue = NO

Is that right ?

Also I believed there was some plugin for email address validation coming too in this release. Is that still the case or is it delayed for next version ?

@Salman Habib - Thanks for reporting. i have fixed this in the download archive for future downloads.
You can download attached file, unzip it and place it in apps/common/models/ to overwrite the existing one ;)
If anything else, please let me know.

There are two already released, see http://codecanyon.net/item/mailwizz-ema-integration-with-bulkemailcheckercom/13933458 and http://codecanyon.net/item/mailwizz-ema-integration-with-kickboxio/13635169
 
I am getting an error issue with bounce processing. I have checked the bounce email box and there are many emails sitting in there for more than 24 hours. Is there any way to run bounce processing manually for a specific bounce server to check if its working ??
 
I am getting below error whn i updated to new version..

@twisted1919

After upgrade, I am getting another error whenever I try to send any campaign or verification email for any delivery server.

Internal failure, maybe due to missing functions like proc_open!

Strange thing is function is and was never disabled. Everything was working fine before the upgrade. Can you please look into it.
 
Here we go with 2 issues after installing this update:

1) (Not Solved): I went to edit a susbcriber (from unconfirmed to confirmed) and get a "Blank Page".

Trying to help: This happens when updating from unconfirmed to confirmed (not viceversa).

I've added a video of this here:
https://forum.mailwizz.com/threads/release-mailwizz-v1-3-5-9.1367/page-2#post-7780


2) (Solved - Works Fine): When preparing a campaign...i went to "Test Template" and got no emails like with past versions (tried +5 times).

Update this item: I've Tested with another recipient and worked fine so this is ok (from now on, i'll check this with different recipients).


If it helps for something i've also installed the .php file (campaign) that was posted here.

1. Edit subscriber is working fine.

When preparing a campaign...i went to "Test Template" and get no emails like with past versions (tried +5 times).

Can you go to Delivery Server and add a new one and test sending Verification email. It will show you the error. I am guessing here that I am also getting same error that is proc_open is missing which was/is never disabled.
