Excellent :)

I'm just getting the new website ready to make an official launch (you probably noticed the documentation has a new logo). Docs are done in DITA so they'll be integrated with the website correctly rather than just sitting separately in a sub-directory somewhere.

I'm still keeping the "target" date for launch as 21st Feb "just in case" :)

Chris,

I'm about to implement swiftmailer for my newsletter system.
But: I'm completely new to swiftmailer. What makes sense? Installing the stable 3.x version or the new 4.x betaversion?

I'll have to figure it all out anyway, as well for the stable as for the beta-version. So that makes no difference.
I'd like to build a personalized newslettersystem, connected to a database with about a 1000 mailaddresses. Although OOP is not my thing I'll manage somehow.

Any good suggestions? Feedback on the 4.x beta is no problem.

Don't install v3 now. I'm really on the edge of launching v4 and you'll just have to re-write it.

Apologies that v4 is not linked to on the main website, I'm rebuilding the entire site and it's going live once I've ironed out a few niggles (in the site I mean) :)

Install v4, then seek some help here if you get stuck ;)

I just realized that I was using an older version that I adapted to php 5, so I went to the site today and saw version 3.3.3 out and downloaded. Then I was configuring it when I came accross an issue. So while searching for the answer I found this post about 4.0.0.

So I will install it and use it today. I must have various versions installed on over 300 websites. I need to upgrade.

Have implemented 4.0 on a few of our sites (and mailing lists), and is working flawlessly. :mrgreen: Was a matter of minutes upgrading from version 3. Great work Chris.

Looking forward for entreprise version!

Good to hear :)

The Enterprise Version idea has been scrapped. The features that were planned for enterprise are just going to be included anyway, perhaps at the cost of some small "target" donation amounts for the larger more time-consuming features (a few hundred community-generated bucks per feature).

Xavier is already preparing ideas for signed messages (DKIM, PKCS, GPG/PGP...). I'll be adding asynchronous sending and STARTTLS support.

These features won't be in 4.0.0 however, the primary focus right now is to get the current feature-set stable before 21st Feb.

Yayyy

I'm downloading as we speak... I'm currently developing an ecampaigning portal for campaigning, charitable and voluntary orgs in the UK and will implement the beta through development stages... when my client pays me, I'll whack some donation in the right direction too:-)

4.0.0 Beta 5

Nothing massive in this one, most people using beta-4 need not feel pressured to update if it's working for you.

Download: http://swiftmailer.org/betas/Swift-4.0.0-b5.tar.gz

Fixes:
  • Spurious MAIL FROM command was being sent *after* sending all messages
  • EHLO/HELO was not being sent correctly
  • Added (compliant) workaround for a bug in Apple Mail adding backslashes to headers when forwarding a Swift Message
  • Added code to re-generate the Message-ID between sending multiple messages
Features:
  • NullKeyCache added (Swift_Preferences::getInstance()->setCacheType('null')) if you want to disable caching
Breaking Changes:
  • Renamed Swift_Transport_TransportException to Swift_TransportException

Known Bugs:
  • Missing the FileEmbedder Plugin that was in v3

Chris,
I too am about to put together a newsletter system - over the next 3 or 4 weeks.
BUT...
I need the ability to throttle sending. I presume the existing plugins won't work with v4???
If not, I guess I'll have to use v3... :(

The existing plugins have been re-written so although the v3 ones themselves won't work, the v4 ones are there. For the throttler:

Code: Select all

//You can also use BYTES_PER_MINUTE
$mailer->registerPlugin(new Swift_Plugins_ThrottlerPlugin(320, Swift_Plugins_ThrottlerPlugin::MESSAGES_PER_MINUTE));

Thanks.
Are they part of the beta download or do I get them somewhere else?
