What's New Digest 5.3.0

Major new release - completely rewritten for compatibility with both XF 2.1 and 2.2

• bugfix: admin edit fields weren't appearing in the correct place
• bugfix: admin edits weren't being saved
• update: now uses a job to find users and queue emails
• update: list unsubscribe header now gets added to outbound email
• update: in test mode the prefix [Test] is added to the subject line
• update: better support for processing user unsubscribes
• update: SparkPost support now moved to a separate addon so we can support XF 2.2
• update: tested on XF 2.2
• feature: option to honour the Receive admin emails setting
• feature: support for monthly digest emails
• feature: widget to encourage users to opt in to digest emails
• feature: add any HTML to the top or bottom of emails

Important breaking changes:

1. the default option is now to honour the "Receive new and update emails" option in user preferences. You will need to turn this off in the settings to retain the previous behaviour.
2. if you use either of my SparkPostMail addons (v1.x or v2.x), you must install the What's New Digest adapter for SparkPost addon - some integration functionality has been removed from this addon to the separate adapter addon to maximise compatibility across XF versions.
