Hello everyone,

I'm currently working on v7 2 of Dada Mail - some features that'll make this release:

Updates to rich editors and file manager/browsers

• CKeditor/TinyMCE KCFinder/Core5 Filemanager will all be updated to the latest stable releases

I'd love to say there's some fancy things awaiting you, but I haven't found any differences, weird bugs fixed not withstanding Things certainly are faster in CKEditor, as the code is shipped as one hyooge file, rather than dozens of little files

There ARE security fixes in these versions, so it may be a good time to upgrade

• Sanity checks when using Amazon SES for sending

I've noticed that many clients of mine are incorrectly setting up Amazon SES in their mailing lists, simply by setting the List Owner or List Admin to an address that isn't yet verified with the service (only verified addresses are allowed to send messages using the service) Dada Mail will now alert about this problem in the Send a Message, Send a Webpage, List Information and Sending Preferences screens There's also links in these alerts to just verify the email address that's causing problems

• Experimental RESTful API for subscription verification and subscriptions

I'll be adding an experimental RESTful API, that'll allow you to subscribe new members, as if you were doing so via the List Control Panel This is different than what's currently available, as the current API is done as if its the user verifying their own address for a subscription

This new RESTful API will allow you to subscribe multiple addresses at a time, along with Profiles, and Profile Passwords (again, just like the list control panel) and will have options to allow you to state if you want to simply update the profile - stuff like that The API will be authenticated via hash based message authentication (HMAC), with a public/private key, although I would suggest all requests to this future API be done of a secure connection

I'll have examples of how to use the API in Perl and php - the php version is < 100 lines, so nothing difficult, and it's all written as a php object you can inherit from That should help other developers who want to create plugins for some of the popular CMS's

If I get a chance, I'll try to do some sort of RESTful API for mail sending - maybe a barebones one to start out (support for Subject and either a PlainText or HTML message)

I'll have beta releases as soon as it comes all together,

Cheers,
