We're really excited and wanted to let you know about Dada Mail Four Beta Four

Dada Mail 4 is our newest, fanciest release of Dada Mail It's still in Beta, since we're still working very hard on it, but it's getting to a very stable point and we wanted to share it with you, so that you might test it out and give us feedback before we release the final, stable version of Dada Mail Four

We also wanted to announce that we have Pro Dada 4 Beta 4 and the Dada Mail Manual Beta 4 available to download and view, for Pro Dada Subscribers:

This Major Release of Dada Mail has one huge feature that we're introducing:

: Profiles

Profiles allow you to give power to your subscribers, allowing them to update their own information, update their subscriptions and allow them to easily know exactly which lists their subscribed to It also makes it easier for your subscribers to interact with every other mailing list managed by Dada Mail It's really simple and it's really great

We think it's pretty cool

Dada Mail 4 will introduce a whole lot more, including Multiple List Sending (another Big feature), a Subscription Approval System, Better UTF-8 Support - even Twitter Support! As well as, CKeditor 3 0 support, Subscriber Profile Field Labels, Reorder-able Fields,Clone List Settings on List Creation, Remove All Subscribers at Once, prototype js/Scriptalicious UI enhancements and whole lot more Even with all these changes, Dada Mail is still the Dada Mail we hope you all know and love

If you're thinking of upgrading, we've also written a little introduction on what to expect, when upgrading from 3 x to 4 x:
