[DBTech] DragonByte Mail 5.3.0b1

Update highlights

!!! THIS VERSION REQUIRES XENFORO 2.2.0 AND PHP 7.2.0 !!!

This version contains coding style updates and changes for XenForo 2.2.0 / PHP 7.2.0.

The "Digest" feature has been removed, as XenForo 2.2 has an "Activity summary" feature which will be much more widely supported by 3rd parties, and contains many of the same features.

Furthermore, a bug that could have affected 3rd party add-on compatibility has been resolved.

This version is flagged as a Beta version as it has not been tested on a live site.


Complete Change Log

Feature: Add support for LinkableInterface
Change: Removed Digest feature, as it has been superseded by the "Activity Summary" feature in XenForo 2.2
Change: Update internal functions to follow new XenForo 2.1 / 2.2 coding standards
Fix: Fix permissions sometimes not rebuilding when upgrading
Fix: Fix method visibility override

Update highlights

There have been no changes since Beta 1, so please find the release notes for v4.4.0 below:

----

This version adds a single major new feature; the ability to limit the maximum amount of emails your forum sends in an hour.
To be clear, this affects all email across the whole of your XenForo installation, so long as all 3rd party add-ons use XF's own email feature.
This means if you are running your site on a shared host, or your web host is limiting the amount of email sent, you can now effectively control this within XF.

This means if you are running your site on a shared host, or your web host is limiting the amount of email sent, you can now effectively control this within XF.

Given that this feature touches upon functionality we have no control over (email sent by XF & other add-ons), this feature is disabled by default and is why this version is flagged as a Beta version.

It has been successfully running on another website for almost a full month now, but a sample size of one isn't exactly statistically significant

Do you like bugs that appear randomly?
Do you like bugs that appear randomly, but not while testing (which runs the exact same code as while not testing)?
Do you like bugs that appear randomly, but not while testing (which runs the exact same code as while not testing), and only occurs when sending emails to real people?

Because I like none of these things.

So yeah, if you were affected by the issue where a server error could occur after the Digest had sent, this version may or may not fix the issue. Here's hoping

Also this version implements special handling for Amazon SES where sometimes they return bounced email with the information in JSON in the actual message body instead of in the headers.

Update highlights

This version makes a few tweaks and improvements to the Digest feature.

It is now possible to test the digest even if it's globally disabled, and the digest will now no longer be delivered to users not in the "valid" user state (or who have been banned).

A server error that was previously hotfixed has now been permanently fixed.

Lastly, the inactivity reminder email toggle will no longer display if this feature has been globally disabled.


Complete Change Log

Change: Ensure it is possible to test the digest even when the Digest feature is globally disabled
Change: Only show the inactivity reminder email option if this feature is globally enabled
Fix: Fixed an issue where banned users or users with a user state other than "valid" could still receive the digest
Fix: Fixed a server error when attempting to save the email preferences

Update highlights

After a successful Beta period, it's time to release the Gold version of DragonByte Mail v4.3.0

This version contains fixes and improvements for the digest, as well as future-proofing for PHP 7.4 / XenForo v2.1.3.

The most important fix in this version is an issue in which the digest would only show one thread if the administrator chose to limit the amount of threads included in the digest.


Complete Change Log

Change: Improved the code for sorting "Advanced Sort" threads
Fix: Fixed an issue with the Digest where inputting a number other than -1 in the "Latest threads" box would only show one thread rather than the number specified
Fix: PHP 7.4 compatibility fix
Fix: Only display digest settings if the digest is enabled
