Platform updates 2019

All new Maxemail versions may include background performance and security improvements. The following notes detail the visible changes to the Maxemail interface and API.

December 2, 2019

🔆 Improved

  • The new Admin Navigation Bar has been updated to more closely match the main Navigation Bar, so it now holds the Search option and uses the same double-click behaviour when holding Shift/Ctrl/Cmd.

Fixed

  • Last login timestamp was not updated for Transactional-SMTP users. This is shown in the new User Report as well as the individual user dialog.
  • Dynamic Content not inserted when Profile Field contained consecutive spaces. When the Profile Field name (or a Snippet name) contained multiple consecutive spaces, the token inserted into the content did not match. Multiple consecutive spaces will now be treated as one.
  • Split Test did not calculate correct estimate for sent emails. When a list size has changed after one or more Split Test Emails were sent, the calculated send estimate did not correctly reflect the true number that had already been sent.
  • Quick Data Export incorrectly shown within Recurring Email summary report.

🔆 Improved

  • Single click unsubscribe
    Changes to the way that single-click unsubscribe is handled should make it more difficult for link scanners to unknowingly unsubscribe your recipients, without adding any extra steps for real humans.
