A new version for phpList is now ready for download, introducing several changes.

This release includes security enhancements.

You can get a copy of the RC version from GitHub or SourceForge.

Changes to look for

1. Added support for indicating and getting feedback for test campaigns. With this PR, a “Test” subject indicator will be appended to test campaigns. See Pull Request #1031.
2. Allow subscribers to be filtered by confirmed and/or blacklisted. See #Pull Request 1030.
3. Added “Bounces” subscriber status indicator and allow admin to confirm a subscriber right from the Bounces tab. See Pull Request #1029.
4. Added “bouncemgt” to allow processing only existing bounces and a related new rule action. See Pull Request #1028.
5. Use the utf8mb4 charset for client-server exchanges. Using utf8mb4 will allow a wider range of characters, including emoji characters, to be sent. If once-off database table changes are made, subject lines can include emoji characters. This change is backward compatible; it has no effect when supplementary characters are not used. See Pull Request #1001.
6. Allow Ajax page links to have a title, defaulting to the link description. The title is shown when hovering over the link. See Pull Request #1002.
7. Add a notification by email when an admin logs in from a new IP address. See Pull Request #1027.
8. Escape the single quote in the error message returned by allowMessageToBeQueued(). See Pull Request #1003.
9. Update the CI to remove old PHP versions and add 8.3. See Pull Request #1004.
10. Restore the ability to create other superusers. See Pull Request #1014.
11. Define timestamp columns explicitly. See Pull Request #1019.
12. Remove redundant upgrade steps. See Pull Request #1020.
13. avoid the admin being kicked out after the upgrade. See Pull Request #1033.
14. Update the Common and Segment plugins. See Pull Request #1024.
15. Updated translations in French. See Pull Request #1032.
16. Use the list order, even when grouping by category. See Pull Request #1025.
17. Updated the UUID class to the latest upstream. See Pull Request #990.
18. Additional PHP 8 fixes. See Pull Request #1026.
19. Removed obsolete references for Mantis, the old bug tracker. See Pull Request #994.
