Platform updates 2021

November 2021

Fixed

• Maxemail's built-in suppression lists have been renamed to use the term Global, for example Global Bounce List. This has been changed in a way which will not affect any existing campaigns, or future campaigns created through the Maxemail interface.
  There may be an impact to API integrations that refer to these suppression lists directly by name rather than by their unique identifier, but these cases are rare.
• SMS number did not show as mapped when re-opening a scheduled import. This was a display issue, and did not affect the import's saved mapping.
• Error getting configuration details from Twitter, following their unannounced removal of a previously-recommended feature.
• Error changing password not displayed. If an error message was given when a user attempted to change their own password, this was not displayed.
• Social share widget in Email Builder includes a colon in the text version of the weblink token.
• Social share widget in Email Builder did not correctly apply URL-encoding to reserved characters in an email's subject line.
• Email report PDF generator could wait indefinitely for third-party resources linked from the email content.

Improved

• Background updates to the bounce manager and how it identifies and categorises bounce messages from ISPs. Currently this is in beta testing so that we can verify that the results are valid compared to (and in many cases improve upon) the current bounce manager.

April 2021

Fixed

• This release contains background updates to drop terms in Maxemail's codebase that could be considered racially offensive and replace them with more neutral language.

🚧

Upcoming API changes

The next public release will finalise this change by renaming Maxemail's built-in suppression lists, for example Global Bounce List. This will not have an effect on the way customers typically use Maxemail's interface, however integrations using the Maxemail API should be aware of this change in case these lists are referred by name instead of their unique identifier.

More details will be provided ahead of the release, once the date is confirmed, expected November 2021.

• SFTP directories failed to list their full contents if an entry had no access permissions.
