phplist News

We are delighted to announce the release of a new development version of phpList.This version is not yet ready for general use, but is for the courageous amongst you to try out and play with.

Before we are able to consider this version stable, quite some testing will need to be done. For example, we haven't really tested upgrade to this version from the latest stable. If you want to help out, please play with it, and report your findings in mantis , marking the issue for version 2.11.5

This version has quite a large amount of changes. Below we are giving a summary of what has changed, but in fact loads more changes have been made. The most important change to keep in mind that phpList will no longer work with PHP4.

HI there,

This release is aimed at hardening the security in phpList. Several changes have been made to eliminate potential attack vectors.
It also includes:

• Some bug fixes

• Internationalization additions

• Re-enable image upload in fckeditor

• Improves mime encoding to avoid attachment corruption

It is mainly a minor release, but we wanted to make this fixes available.
For more information please visit the mantis changelog page.

Upgrading your current version

• Unpack the new packaged version into a new "lists" directory.
• Try it out.

• Backup the database (this might not be needed if you are upgrading from 2.10.9)
• Then update it as mention on the admin page (there is a link once you update).

• Once you feel confortable you can move the old code into a new directory and rename this new one with the old name.

Once that is ready the new version is available for the public into the URL you were using.

Please go to the forum if you have questions.

 

Cheers,
