:: New Revision of the Magicbook Released

I'm also happy to announce, along with the Dada Mail 2.10, a new revision of the Magicbook. The Magicbook is an advanced manual on Dada Mail and also comes with several plugins/extensions that enhance Dada Mail.

This revision includes new and updated versions of the following plugins/extensions:

* Clickthrough Tracker
Now supports logging bounces, message openings,
and # of subscribers per list sending.
* Beatitude
Much better support for the new email templating system
* Multiple Subscribe
Now supports unsubscriptions
* Digest script
Updated for 2.10 (missing in the 2.9 version of the Magicbook)

Personally, I've found the new clickthrough tracker to be indispensable.

Please let us know what you'd like to personally see in the program. I've been pleasantly surprised at the input and direction this list has given me and the development of Dada Mail. I can't understand how we did without it.

:: Thanks

Once again, I have to thank all the Dada Mail users, helpers, little elves and everyone that has supported the project in it's five years of development - from giving a bug report, feature suggestion or supporting the Dada Mail project directly with a purchase of Pro Dada and/or the Magicbook. Everything is a collaboration and I couldn't have done it without you.

Special thanks to Shane Clintberg of http://a-ok.net who has gone well beyond and above the call of duty in helping to basically rewrite almost every piece of Dada Mail's XHTML to become industrial strength. All of the vast improvements to this part of the program are the work of his very, very busy hands. As well as being a great communicator - if it be in his writing, or his coding, Shane has also shown to work well with the entire Dada Mail community - and he deals with me pretty well, too <grin>. Anyways, thanks, Shane.


Thanks for reading and let me know how the new version of Dada Mail is working for you.

At Your Service,

Justin Simoni - Lead Dadaist
