2 11 Alpha 9 Notes

2 11 Alpha 9 Broken Things

Things are broken - this is an alpha release - don't use for
production work, please

Some things we know are completely busted:

Clickthrough Tracking

The clickthrough tracker won't work - the redirect tags are never
parsed These will return soon enough

Update Subscription

I'm not sure if the Update Subscription extension works It doesn't
know about multiple fields and using it will most likely erase any
information saved in these fields The Multiple Subscribe Extension
should work just swimmingly, though

2 11 Alpha 9 Changes

DADA::App::Error Error Messages

Most, if not all of the error messages that were in the
DADA::App::Error module have been moved out of the module and into
the, dada/DADA/Template/templates directory Each error message has
its own template file Most, if not all of the error message file
names start with, ``error_''

Email Templating

Email Templates now use HTML::Template (yes, for plain text emails
too) for the backend, instead of random and dispersed simple regexes
that have been in use for 8 or so years Depending on the email being
sent out, list settings and subscriber information is automatically
passed to HTML::Template to be used when outputing

Currently, only the HTML::Template way of doings things is supported,
but adding HTML::Template::Expr is a possibility

Care has been given to allow a graceful backwards compatibility with
older email templates and most older email templates will work without
problem One exception is the, ``List Invitation'' email template -
this template should be reverted to the default that's shipped with
this release

For more information, see the documentation for, screen in
DADA::Template::Widgets - it's currently the wrapper around
HTML::Template for Dada Mail

Cleanup/API Changes:

Send a List Invitation - moved!

The, Send a List Invitation feature is still a part of Dada Mail, but
it's functionality has been moved from it's own stand-alone
administration screen to a part of the Add Email steps After
verification of new subscribers, you now have the choice of
subscribing or inviting the verified addresses

Black Lists

There's been some confusing amongst amongst myself in some of the
terms used in Dada Mail - one of them is the, Black List'' - is it, Blacklist'', or, ``Black List?''

I've decided on, Black List'' Some list settings are named, black_list_*'' and some are named, ``blacklist_*''

These currently won't change, but the error paramaters have They
should all be, black_list

screen API

The DADA::Template::Widgets screen subroutine has gone through
significant changes - one of the largest is the move from passing
paramaters in a hash, to passing paramaters in a hashref All the old
paramaters will work (and there's a slew of new, optional ones, but
these paramaters must be passed in a hashref So:

print DADA:Template::Widgets::screen(-screen => foo tmpl); # No!

print DADA:Template::Widgets::screen({-screen => foo tmpl}); # Yes!

Email Template tags: [plain_list_subscriber_link] and friends, REMOVED

The idea behind the tags (like): tags: [plain_list_subscriber_link]
was stupid and their use is now dropped Use list_subscriber_link
instead The only difference is that for HTML email messages,
[list_subscriber_link] will not automatically become a clickable link
- you'll have to make that yourself

2 11 Alpha 9 New Features

Email Message Templates: Now allow subjects, other headers to be set

The email message templates in the list control panel under, ``Manage
Copy -> Email Templates'' can now have their Subjects and in some
instances To: and From: phrases editable

Email Message Templates: New syntax

Many of the email message template tags have been modified - most of
the modifications are simple and make sense A small rundown:

Anything that has to do with a list setting, now has, list_setting
appended to it For example:

 * [list] is now: [list_setting
list]
 * [list_name] is now: [list_setting
list_name]
 * [list_privacy_policy] is now: [list_setting
privacy_policy]

Anything that has to do with a subscriber now has subscriber ]
appended to it For example:

 * example@PROTECTED is now: [subscriber
email]

Documentatoion still needs to be written concerning these changes Old
email templates should work, as they are auto-translated to this new
syntax

Auto-Created Error Log

If you don't set an error log, one will now be made for you,
automatically The rub on this is errors made during compile time
won't be logged

2 11 Alpha 9 Bug Fixes

The next release I'll be doing will be a beta version I'll be
focusing on cleaning up the code and documentation and hopefully,
we'll have a proper release, soon

The last alpha was out about a month ago and a whole lot of work was
done since then For giggles, here's the diff file:

It's over 19,000+ lines long, so, expect subtleties between the two
version ;)

Happy New Year!
