v5.0.1 is a bug-fix release on top of the major v5.0.0 release. It features the addition of long pending features such as the visual drag-and-drop e-mail builder, per-campaign SMTP selection, and numerous other fixes and improvements.

What's new?

• Visual editor and templates
  • The much requested and awaited visual e-mail builder and template editor is now integrated, with one-click conversion between formats. Thanks to @vividvilla for the big PR integrating @usewaypoint/email-builder-js
• Campaigns:
  • Replace CodeFlask with the more mature and robust CodeMirror for a much better code-editing experience (HTML, CSS, Javascript, Markdown) on campaigns, forms, templates,and settings UI.
  • Ability to preview campaign archive view.
  • Make paused campaigns editable and allow unscheduling with new Unschedule button.
  • UX improvement that automatically switches scheduled campaigns to draft when send_at is removed.
  • Add format/content type selection to the first screen on campaign creation.
  • Ctrl+S short for saving campaigns while working on them
• Security:
  • Campaign viewing and management are now filtered by a user's list permissions and now use the new new campaigns:get_all and campaigns:manage_all permissions. Important: This is a behavioural change from v4.1.0.
  • Disallow private list UUIDs on public subscriber endpoints.
  • Make OIDC provider name on the login button configurable.
  • Add get list permission check to bulk subscriber list management.
  • Proper enforcement of the subscribers:sql_query permission with SQL query analysis and table allow-listing. Addresses #2412.
