This is a major breaking change that moves away from having the
entire app configuration in external TOML files to settings being
in the database with a UI to update them dynamically.
The app loads all config into memory (app settings, SMTP conf)
on boot. "Hot" replacing them is complex and it's a fair tradeoff
to instead just restart the application as it is practically
instant.
A new `settings` table stores arbitrary string keys with a JSONB
value field which happens to support arbitrary types. After every
settings update, the app gracefully releases all resources
(HTTP server, DB pool, SMTP pool etc.) and restarts itself,
occupying the same PID. If there are any running campaigns, the
auto-restart doesn't happen and the user is prompted to invoke
it manually with a one-click button once all running campaigns
have been paused.
- Fix path related issues in filesystem and S3.
- Add checks for S3 "/" path prefix.
- Add support for custom S3 domain names.
- Remove obsolete `width` and `height` columns from media table (breaking)
- Add `provider` field to media table (breaking)
- antd+react was resulting in extremely clunky and unreadable
spaghetti frontend code (primarily due to how antd is).
- Buefy is lighter by an order of magnitude, has excellent
responsive views (especially tables) and usability.
- Vue's templating produces far more readable template code.
- Campaigns now have a `type` property (regular, opt-in)
- Opt-in campaigns work for double opt-in lists and e-mail
subscribers who haven't confirmed their subscriptions.
- Lists UI shows a 'Send opt-in campaign' optin that
automatically creates an opt-in campaign for the list
with a default message body that can be tweaked before
sending the campaign.
- Primary usecase is to send opt-in campaigns to subscribers
who are added via bulk import.
This is a breaking change. Adds a new Postgres enum type
`campaign_type` and a new column `type` to the campaigns table.
- Lists can now be marked as single | double optin.
- Insert subscribers to double opt-in lists send out a
confirmation e-mail to the subscriber with a confirmation link.
- Add `{{ OptinURL }}` to template functions.
This is a breaking change. Adds a new field 'optin' to the lists
table and changes how campaigns behave. Campaigns on double opt-in
lists exclude subscribers who haven't explicitly confirmed subscriptions.
Changes the structure and behaviour of how notification e-mail routines,
including notif email template compilation, notification callbacks for
campaign and bulk import completions.
- Toggle options to enable self-service data export and wipe
options on the public unsubscription page. Subscribers can get
a copy of all data on them e-mailed to them as JSON, or
instantly wipe all their data.
- Refactor "unsubscribe" pages and URIs to "subscription".
- Add export icon to subscriber admin view.
- Simplify campaigns querying to separate statistics gather into
a separate query for lazy loading.
- Simplify subscribers query to separate list fetching into
a separate query for lazy loading.
The get-campaigns query was doing two direct joins with the campaign_views
and link_clicks tables (that have very large number of relationships)
to get the view and click counts. Now the campaigns are selected first
in a CTE and their views and counts are aggregated in two more CTEs,
and the whole thing is then aggregated to produce the final results.
- Add a name / e-mail "quicksearch" input to the UI
- Implement row selection and aggregation at table level and a "select all" that selects all rows at the query level
- On selected subscribers, add bulk list management (add / remove / unsubscribe), blacklist, and delete
- Add a stats overview API to aggregate global stats
- Add bizcharts to the project to render visualisations
- WIP: Add stats widgets and visualisations to the dashboard
