Releases for SunMailer Newsletter

Bugs fixed: #1269862, #1269720, #1260734

Added an upgrade path

Outside of role subscribe and subscription statistics (both of which will probably have separate modules as part of the SunMailer package), this alpha release is feature-complete.

This 6.x-2.x branch includes two major new features from the 6.x-1.x branch:

• Anonymous users can subscribe/unsubscribe to/from the newsletter
• Multiple newsletters are supported, each with its own settings and mailing schedule

SunMailer 1.6 includes several improvements for subscribing and unsubscribing. In particular, a password is no longer required to unsubscribe, and if individual emails are sent to each subscriber, each email will have a custom unsubscribe link to expedite the process of unsubscribing. It also supports generating a personalized newsletter for each subscriber.

The main addition to SunMailer 1.4 is role-subscribe, the ability to subscribe user roles to newsletter sections.

Fixed a bug which prevented users from manually sending the newsletter (automatically sending the newsletter via cron was not affected).

New features

• Advanced help documentation
• Can add new sections to subscribers' subscriptions

Other changes

• UI improvements if the Date API or Date Popup module is installed
• SimpleTest tests
• XSL extension is checked for at install-time

Note: The database schema has been modified to use a view's name instead of its vid. Since SunMailer is still in alpha and there is no prior stable version, 1.0-alpha3 does not include an update to the new schema. This must be done manually if you are using version 1.0-alpha2 or earlier.

New Features

• #673018: SunMailer checks for the required XSL module and the PHPMailer library.

Bug Fixes

Improved how SunMailer handles HTML content and HTML emails. Fixed a bug in the .info file. Made some adjustments to the user interface.
