Repository: @knadh/listmonk

GitHub release page: v2.1.0

listmonk-logo

This version contains a number of fixes, improvements, (small) feature additions, and performance improvements.

Improvements

  • An improved mobile UI and CSS/JS customization for admin and public pages from the settings UI under the new “Appearance” tab. This reduces the need for loading custom templates with --static-dir. Contributed by @sweetppro

  • Accurate, realtime messages / minute counter on running campaigns.

  • --passive mode (that doesn’t process campaigns) for running multiple instances of the app.

  • Per-campaign custom SMTP headers.

  • TLS (in addition to STARTTLS) support for SMTP servers.

  • Accurate unconfirmed / confirmed / unsubscribed counts on the lists UI.

  • Search lists like campaigns.

  • Support for public CDN endpoints in media uploads.

  • {{ TrackLink }} now accepts dynamic arguments, such as a link from subscriber’s attributes.

  • Campaign analytics now shows unique counts if individual tracking is turned on.

  • New Dutch (@Jjagg) and Hungarian (@bohemtucsok) language packs.

Fixes

  • POP3 bounce mail scanning on mail envelopes.

  • S3/IAM blocking indefinitely on bad configuration in non-AWS environments.

  • Richtext / HTML conversion adding stray spaces to links in the editor.

  • A number of other minor UX fixes.

Shoutout to @NicoHood for patiently reporting a number of UX glitches and suggesting improvements.

How to upgrade

As always, take a backup of your database before upgrading.

Binary

Download the latest binary. Stop and replace the old binary. Run ./listmonk --upgrade. Start the app again.

Docker


# cd /directory/with/docker-compose.yml



docker-compose down

docker-compose pull && docker-compose run --rm app ./listmonk --upgrade

docker-compose up -d app db

Changes to public templates

The near Appearance tab in settings adds the following two lines to the <head> tag of static/public/templates/index.html:


	<link href="/public/custom.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

	<script src="/public/custom.js" async defer></script>

If your installation has custom static templates with --static-dir, please add these two lines to use the new customization feature.
