Release date : May 16, 2018

The main theme for this version is the GDPR, as the 25th of May 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation will be applied. In addition to the new options and modifications we added to AcyMailing, you will have to configure it correctly if you want to be GDPR compliant and we wrote an article that could help some of you for that ;)

Features related to the GDPR

• In the configuration, options related to data collection have been regrouped in a new tab
• A new option in the configuration can be activated if you want your users to be able to download their data themselves from the user profile page.
  It will download a zip file containing the personal information (name, email, custom fields...) and collected statistics (email openned, links clicked, geolocation, history...) in an xml file, and the possible files the user imported (if you created an upload file custom field).
  Note that you can now also download any user data when editing it
• A new option in the configuration allows you to add a "Delete all my data" button on the AcyMailing user profile page to let the users delete their data. It will delete the AcyMailing user and all the related data (without modifying the Joomla account)
• The Joomla user's data automatic import into AcyMailing has been disabled by default (on new installations)
• The "Name" field is now optional by default
• The subscription confirmation (double opt-in) is now active by default (on new installations)
• The subscription modifications are now recorded in the user history, so you can prove that a user subscribed and confirmed his subscription
• The Joomla users are not automatically imported in AcyMailing anymore when installing the extension. Of course, you can still import them from the "Import" page
• A new option has been added to let you disable the detailed statistics if you don't need it. AcyMailing will then collect only anonymous data (it won't collect the IP addresses, the detailed opens and clicks, the geolocation...).
  When activating this option, you will be able to automatically delete already collected personal data / statistics

Features and Improvements

• Better display for the selected attachments / favicon when the file name is too long
• Added some missing filters summary on the newsletter's preview page
• Improved the terms and conditions popup for mobile devices on the subscription module

Release date : March 26, 2018

On Thursday 22nd, one of our users reported a vulnerability in Excel (and other similar programs) that could be exploited through any CSV file opened with it, including Acy user export files. The recommended solution to secure the CSV files is to prefix any value beginning with =, +, - or @ with a tab.
As some users may directly use the exported CSV files in systems that don't automatically strip the tabs, we decided to add a new option on the export page to let you decide to disable this security if needed.
If you regularly open user export files and don't import them directly in other systems than AcyMailing, we strongly advise you to update and turn On this new option. It will be active by default on new installations.
