phpList 3.4.8  is a minor release including one important change.

Changes in this release

PHPMailer 6 supported

On this release changes to the PHPlistMailer class have been made so that you can use either PHPMailer version 5 or version 6 depending on a config setting — thanks to @duncanc, see the pull request.

The important changes on PHPMailer 6 are the use of namespaces, which makes it backwards-incompatible and version of PHP required:  PHP 5.5 or later.
PHPMailer 6 is not enabled by default in this release and to start using  it you will need to add the line below on your configuration file (config.php):

define(‘USE_PHPMAILER6’, true);

If you want to switch back to using PHPMailer 5 just remove the line.

For more information on changes introduced on PHPMailer you can check their changelog here.
