A Release Candidate for upcoming phpList 3.5.3 is now available for testing.
This release includes new features, usability improvements and fixes, with the most important one being the Matomo Integration – thanks to @duncanc
Matomo is now added as an alternative to Google Analytics. You can choose between Matomo or Google Analytics in the Settings page.
Similarly to the current GA parameters, when selected, each URL will have four additional query parameters that will be displayed and can be edited on the Finish tab when composing a campaign. You can see more details on the pull request.
Other changes to look for
- New configuration setting to allow customizing the format of a displayed DATE – see the pull request, and additional information added via the “Help” option – thanks to @duncanc
- Consistent formatting of ‘date’ and ‘datetime’ fields applied on Send, Admin and Plugins pages – thanks to @duncanc see the pull request
Fixes:
- [Security Fix]: Implement an XSS filter in /lists/admin/template.php file to avoid privilege elevation.
- Removed unnecessary function calls for page category and subcategory, avoiding repeated calls of some functions and reducing loading time for the homepage – thanks to @duncanc , see the pull request
