Summary

This is a feature release, relating to features first introduced in the v8 series of Dada Mail We're building upon those features, and making them more useful

Features

Magic User Templates Enhancements

We've added four new options, when creating your Magic User Templates They're there to help with compatibility with your already existing site design

These four options control how Dada Mail inserts its own Javascript into the template Since it's basing the template off your already existing site design it's possible that some of the JavaScript libraries required, like jQuery, are already included within your page If so, there's no need to add them again - doing so could potentially disrupt functionality on your site or inadvertainly change the design of your page

More can be learned about Magic User Templates in Dada Mail's documentation on Advanced Installation Configuration options in the Dada Mail Installer These options are available in Pro Dada:

http://dadamailproject com/d/install_dada_mail-advanced_configuration pod html#Configure-Global-Template-Options

Send a Webpage: grab the Subject of a message, from the Title of the Webpage

Rather than setting the Subject of a message manually when sending a webpage, you can tell Dada Mail to use the title of the webpage as the Subject of the message

This can be used to easily have a dynamic message subject, when sending out a recurring scheduled mass mailing

Look for this feature in the Mass Mailing - Send a Webpage screen

Changes

jQuery and jQuery Libraries updated

Dada Mail relies on jQuery and many independent jquery plugins to enhance its user experience We've upgraded jQuery to v1 11 3, as well as updating the Colorbox plugin to v1 6 1 This should help with compatibility when using Dada Mail's Magic User Templates feature
