October 26, 2026
- Improved: Broadcast now runs on an updated Ruby version that includes upstream security fixes.
October 22, 2026
- Fixed: Security hardening for first-time setup and the admin areas.
- Improved: The background jobs dashboard now needs the system monitoring permission. Sudo users keep access.
- Improved: The public demo has tighter limits, and visitors can now try sending, exports and profile changes.
October 21, 2026
- New: Sequences now list the subscribers that stopped with an error. You can retry the failed step for one subscriber, or retry or dismiss all of them at once.
- New: Sequence webhooks report retried and dismissed subscribers (sequence.subscriber_resumed with reason “retry”, sequence.subscriber_removed with reason “dismissed”).
- Fixed: Subscribers with a suppressed address no longer wait forever at a sequence email step. After the upgrade, they skip the email and continue the sequence, so later tag, move and webhook steps run.
- Fixed: A failed SMTP sequence email no longer counts as sent in sequence stats.
- Improved: Team members without permission to manage subscribers no longer see sequence actions they cannot use.
- Improved: The sequence subscriber table now fits smaller screens.

- Fixed: The subscriber count for a sequence in the API, the dashboard and the sequences page now shows the subscribers who are currently in the sequence.

- Improved: The Postmark unsubscribe warnings and the footer block hint now have translations in all languages.
October 19, 2026

- Fixed: The log file for the Application Logs page can no longer grow without limit, and the upgrade removes a leftover file to free disk space.
- Improved: The Application Logs page keeps showing new lines after the server empties the log file.
- Fixed: With Postmark unsubscribe handling, a block email’s footer block now uses Postmark’s unsubscribe link, so subscribers no longer see two unsubscribe links.
- Improved: Sequence steps that use the broadcast stream now show the Postmark unsubscribe handling notice.
- Improved: The Postmark notice in the editor and the send dialogs now says when the footer block already handles Postmark’s link.
- Fixed: The drag-and-drop editor opens for confirmation templates again; it showed an error page instead.
- Improved: When a footer block has its unsubscribe link turned off, the API warning and the editor hint now say how to send the email with no unsubscribe link, such as a double opt-in confirmation.
October 18, 2026
- New: Sequences have a Reply-To address in their settings, so replies to sequence emails go to the inbox you choose instead of the sender address.
- New: Each Send Email step in a sequence can set its own Reply-To address, which overrides the sequence’s.
- New: Each Send Email step on the sequence canvas shows how many emails it sent, opened and clicked, with open and click rates and bounces.
- New: The Sequences API accepts and returns `reply_to` on sequences and on sequence steps.
October 17, 2026
- New: Every channel now has a default confirmation email, and upgrading adds one to existing channels.
- New: Opt-in popups can show again every N days, set in the form editor.
- New: Mail sent through the Test Server is marked “Captured, not delivered” on broadcasts, transactional emails, the activity table (with a Captured filter) and the CSV export.
- New: The topic unsubscribe page has a Resubscribe button, with its own editable page that names the topic.
- New: A topic’s field is locked, and the topic cannot be deleted, while a broadcast, sequence, form or segment uses it; the message lists what uses it.
- New: Tag topics remember when a subscriber turned them off, so only the subscriber can turn them back on.
- Fixed: An address the mail server rejects as unknown is now bounced in broadcasts, sequences and transactional emails.
- Fixed: Bounce and complaint reports for sequence emails now deactivate and suppress the subscriber.
- Fixed: Opt-in forms no longer email addresses that bounced or complained.
- Fixed: An unsubscribe link for someone already unsubscribed shows the done page instead of asking again.
- Fixed: The Recipients card now counts only delivered mail.
- Fixed: The API subscriber list no longer fails for subscribers whose custom data is stored as text.
- Fixed: Older unsubscribe links work again when the latest email was from a sequence.
- Fixed: The “captured in the test inbox” notice no longer disappears when a send finishes at once.
- Improved: Open and click rates leave out mail captured by the Test Server.
- Improved: Imports, the API, sequences and the AI assistant keep topics a subscriber turned off, and the API shows them as false.
- Improved: Manual installs warn at startup when the encryption keys are missing or still the sample placeholders; replace placeholders with real keys before you upgrade.
- Improved: A topic used only by sent broadcasts can now be deleted.
- Improved: The API explains why it refuses to delete the default confirmation template.
- Improved: The license key message explains how to add LICENSE_KEY and links to the setup guide.
- Improved: Help links open the docs for your installed version.

October 15, 2026
- New: File Assets API to list, upload (multipart or base64), view and delete images in a channel’s file library, with new file asset read and write permissions on API tokens.
- New: Upload several images at once on the File Assets page; files that cannot be uploaded are listed with the reason.
- New: Text and Image + text blocks have a Link colour setting, in the block editor and in the API (styles.linkColor).
- New: Set a subscriber’s topics on their profile.

- Fixed: The colour square next to a colour field now follows a typed hex value.
- Fixed: Saving a subscriber no longer records unchanged empty fields in the history.
- Improved: Only the subscriber can turn a topic back on after turning it off. The profile, the API and imports keep it off, and the API returns a parameter_ignored warning.
- Improved: The subscriber API returns null instead of an empty string for a blank first name, last name or IP address.
- Improved: Field names and validation messages are now translated into all supported languages.

October 14, 2026
- Fixed: A broadcast no longer stops as failed when Mailgun’s new-account hourly limit is reached. It pauses and continues by itself when Mailgun allows sending again.
- Fixed: A broadcast no longer stays stuck in Sending after a temporary error from the email server. It tries again by itself, and a broadcast that fails can always be resumed.
- Fixed: Broadcasts, sequences and transactional emails now wait until the time the email provider gives after a rate limit, instead of trying again too early.
- Fixed: Reaching the AWS SES daily sending quota now pauses sending instead of retrying every few seconds.
- Fixed: Reset rate limit on the email server page now also resumes transactional and sequence emails that are waiting.
- Fixed: The confirm button in dialogs is full width on phones, like the Cancel button.
- Improved: The broadcast page, the email server page and the transactional email notice now say when the email provider paused sending, why, and when sending continues.
- Improved: A broadcast that failed or is waiting to retry now shows the reason on its page.
- Improved: Email provider error messages are shorter and name the provider and the email server only once.
- Fixed: Opt-in form welcome emails were never sent. They now go out after a signup, a confirmation or a resubscribe through a form.
- Fixed: A person who subscribed again through an opt-in form stayed inactive and got no broadcasts. They are now active again. People who resubscribed this way before this release may still be inactive; you can find them under Subscribers and activate them.
- Fixed: Resubscribing an address that is on a suppression list no longer makes it active, sends it a welcome email, or removes its block in Postmark. The API answers with a subscriber_suppressed warning.
- Fixed: Postmark suppression sync no longer uses inactive Postmark servers, and stops at once when Postmark refuses a token.
- Improved: With double opt-in, an unsubscribed person who submits the form again is resubscribed only after they confirm.
- Improved: The Sequences and Sequence Steps APIs refuse a value that is not true or false for a switch, with a 422, instead of saving it as true.
- Improved: A button, privacy policy or legal notice link with a variable or a refused character now shows an error that says so.
- New: Provider tracking setting in Channel Settings. “Off”, the default for all channels including existing ones, tells Postmark, Mailgun and SendGrid not to track opens and clicks, so only Broadcast tracks them and links are not redirected twice. If you read opens and clicks in your provider’s dashboard, choose “Use the provider’s settings”.
- New: Channel Settings can turn open and click tracking on by default for new broadcasts and sequences.
- New: Unsubscribes through Postmark’s own unsubscribe link now unsubscribe the subscriber in Broadcast, and a resubscribe in Broadcast lifts the Postmark suppression. This is on by default for each Postmark email server.
- New: Broadcast checks the unsubscribe handling of your Postmark broadcast stream and tries to switch it to Custom. When Postmark refuses, the email server page explains the second unsubscribe link and gives you a support request to copy.
- New: The double opt-in confirmation page can show a button that sends subscribers on, for example back to your website.
- New: The confirmation page shows your privacy policy and legal notice links.
- New: The footer block can hide its unsubscribe link.
- New: Opt-in forms can leave the unsubscribe link out of the double opt-in confirmation email.
- New: Channel Settings API (GET and PATCH /api/v1/channel/settings) and a writable Brand Kit API (PATCH /api/v1/channel/design).
- New: The Sequence Steps API accepts include_unsubscribe_link, and the Email Servers API shows the Postmark unsubscribe handling and sync setting.
- Fixed: Sequence and welcome emails sent {{ unsubscribe_url }} as an empty link. The link now works.
- Fixed: Sequences with open or click tracking on now add Broadcast’s own tracking, so open and click conditions work without provider tracking.
- Fixed: {{{pm:unsubscribe}}} in a broadcast body, a block email or a sequence step rendered as a broken link.
- Fixed: Unsubscribe and preferences links are never click-tracked.
- Fixed: An email with its own unsubscribe link no longer also gets the channel footer’s link.
- Fixed: The broadcast preview now shows the footer that the send adds.
- Improved: Near-miss Postmark tags such as {{pm:unsubscribe}} are corrected when Broadcast sends, and on other providers they become Broadcast’s own unsubscribe link.
- Improved: A hand-written unsubscribe or preferences link that has no address is removed, not sent as an empty link.
- Improved: The broadcast editor warns when Postmark will add its own unsubscribe link.
- Improved: The sequence step HTML preview shows the footer that the send adds.
October 12, 2026
- New: Block emails created through the API can leave out the channel footer when the design has its own unsubscribe link, for example a footer of your own in an HTML block.
- Fixed: Unsubscribe links written as {{ unsubscribe_url }} with spaces inside an HTML block now work. Before, the link in the sent email was broken.
- Fixed: A block email can no longer go out without an unsubscribe link when its footer setting is turned off through the API.
- Fixed: A sequence step created or updated through the API now keeps a block design sent as a JSON object.
- Fixed: An unknown value for a field with a fixed list of values, such as an email server vendor, now returns a clear error that lists the accepted values instead of a server error.
- Improved: The API now warns when it ignores or changes a value you sent, including unknown keys in nested settings and block designs, block styles and HTML that an email cannot use, and settings that another setting decides.
- New: A Low memory mode for the job server, chosen on the Jobs page, runs all background work in one process so small servers such as 2 GB have much more free memory.
- Fixed: Setting SOLID_QUEUE_SUPERVISOR_MODE=async without SOLID_QUEUE_IN_PUMA no longer stops the web app from starting.
- Fixed: SOLID_QUEUE_IN_PUMA=false now really turns off running background jobs inside the web server.

October 10, 2026
- This is a huge release: the email sending engine has been improved. With changes this large there may be bugs, so we recommend that you try this release with a small broadcast send first. Please report any bugs to simon@sendbroadcast.net.
- New: Transactional email goes first. Login codes and password resets now send before sequence and broadcast email, on their own background worker, so a large broadcast never delays them.
- New: Each email server keeps part of its hourly limit for higher-priority email. Broadcasts stop at 80% or 90% when the server also sends sequences or transactional email. A server used only for broadcasts keeps its full limit.
- New: A new webhook event, email.send_delayed, tells you when a transactional email has to wait for room on its email server.
- New: Notices in the app when transactional email waits more than 30 minutes for room, or fails after 24 hours at the hourly limit.
- Fixed: Broadcasts no longer send more emails than the email server’s hourly limit, also when several broadcasts share one server.
- Fixed: Pausing a broadcast now stops it within a moment, instead of after up to 100 more emails.
- Fixed: Pausing and then resuming a broadcast quickly no longer counts some recipients twice.
- Fixed: The “Sending appears stalled” warning no longer shows while a broadcast waits for its hourly limit.
- Fixed: Reset rate limit now continues broadcasts that are waiting for room.
- Improved: A broadcast larger than the hourly limit sends what fits, then continues by itself when room frees up, without holding a background worker.
- Improved: Sequence emails that wait for room try again every minute and no longer count as a failed step.
- Improved: The broadcast page, the email server page and sequence enrollments show when sending waits for room and when it continues.
- Improved: The email server form shows how much of the limit each email type can use, and recommends separate servers for broadcasts and for transactional email.
- Improved: Sending is more reliable when Broadcast restarts in the middle of a send.
- Improved: The new screens are translated into all 11 languages.
October 08, 2026
- New: Broadcasts, sequences and Autopilot can exclude segments, so nobody in an excluded segment gets the email, even when they are in the audience.
- New: A segment that a broadcast, sequence or autopilot excludes cannot be deleted, and the message names what uses it.
- New: The API can create a subscriber who has already unsubscribed in one request, so a migration keeps its opt-outs with no gap.
- New: The API accepts excluded_segment_ids on broadcasts, sequences and autopilots.
- Fixed: With parallel sending turned on, a broadcast to segments no longer fails before it sends.
- Fixed: The broadcast Segments dialog now shows the saved segments, so saving it without changes no longer sends the broadcast to all subscribers.
- Fixed: Choosing All subscribers in the composer now clears the chosen segments when you save.
- Fixed: A tag no longer starts a sequence for an inactive or unsubscribed subscriber.
- Fixed: The AND/OR labels between the rules of a segment group now follow the group’s match type.
- Improved: Imports read the separator from the file’s header row, so a CSV file dropped on the TSV option is read correctly, and the preview says how the file was read.
- Improved: A semicolon-separated import file now gets a message that says how to save it as CSV, instead of a missing Email column error.
- Improved: The segment builder warns when a Match ALL group matches nobody but people match one of its rules.
- Improved: The broadcast Audience card now shows the topic.
- New: The “Send Broadcast?” dialog now says how many subscribers the broadcast goes to.
- Fixed: A retry of a failed broadcast (only the subscribers it did not reach) now goes to that broadcast’s own audience, not to the audience of an older broadcast it was copied from.
- Fixed: A retry no longer emails people who already got the broadcast, also when two retries are made from the same failed broadcast.
- Fixed: Resuming an interrupted broadcast no longer skips some subscribers.
- Fixed: A retry to all subscribers no longer includes redacted subscribers, and its recipient count no longer includes unsubscribed people.
- Fixed: The recipient count, the “no recipients” check before sending and Ask AI now count a retry correctly.
- Fixed: With parallel sending turned on, a broadcast with nobody left to send to no longer stays in “Sending”.
- Fixed: A copy of a deleted broadcast opens again, and its retry sends to nobody instead of getting stuck in “Sending”.
- Improved: The Audience card of a retry says it reaches only the people who missed the broadcast.
- Improved: When a retry has nobody left to send to, the message says that everyone already got it, and the send dialog closes.
- Improved: The retry option now says it reaches subscribers not reached yet and leaves out addresses the email provider rejected.
- Improved: Retries prepare their audience much faster on large lists.
- New: Opt-in forms can show a checkbox for a subscriber topic, so a signup records which topics the person chose; an unticked box is saved as an explicit “no”.
- New: The form page preview shows the popup on every reload, and your own visits no longer hide the popup on your site.
- Fixed: A broadcast sent to a tag-based topic together with a segment failed to send.
- Fixed: A scheduled or “Send now” broadcast to a topic with no receivers was marked sent to nobody; it now stops with a “no subscribers” message, and Ask AI shows the topic’s real audience size.
- Fixed: Clicking an unsubscribe link a second time, or a topic unsubscribe link after unsubscribing from everything, no longer adds duplicate history entries or webhook events.
- Fixed: List endpoints in the API returned a server error for a negative or non-numeric limit or offset; they now return 422, and paging no longer repeats rows across pages.
- Fixed: The opt-in form editor did not show error messages, could report a refused change as saved, and could ask about unsaved changes after a successful update.
- Fixed: Duplicating an opt-in form now also copies its thank-you message, and forms with an older popup frequency setting can be duplicated again.
- Fixed: The form preview drew input borders darker than the real form, and checkbox ticks sat off-centre.
- Fixed: Buttons on the unsubscribe and preference pages wrap long labels on phones instead of running past the card.
- Improved: The API now refuses an unknown popup frequency instead of saving it, and list endpoints accept a limit from 1 to 1000.
- Improved: A popup set to “Every visit” or “Once per day/week” is now handled the same by old and new embed codes.
- Improved: The unsubscribe page editor previews your real topics and groups its preview tabs by flow.
- Improved: Deleting a topic that is in use now says what uses it, and a broken preference link says it is a preference link.
- Improved: Breadcrumbs end on the current page throughout the app.
October 07, 2026
- New: Subscriber topics let subscribers choose which kinds of email they get, such as webinars or offers, each stored in a custom data field or a tag you choose.
- New: Send a broadcast or sequence to a topic, and it reaches only the subscribers who receive that topic.
- New: On an email sent to a topic, the unsubscribe link and the Gmail and Yahoo one-click button turn off only that topic and keep the subscriber subscribed, unless you set the channel to unsubscribe from everything.
- New: A hosted preference page lets subscribers switch their topics, linked with the {{ preferences_url }} merge tag or the footer block.
- New: The subscriber.preferences_updated webhook records every topic change with the old and new value, the time and where it came from, and every subscriber webhook now says where a change came from.
- New: The Topics API and CLI command, topic_id on broadcasts and sequences, and an optional merge mode for updating a subscriber’s custom data.
- New: Choose which API token an agent setup link uses.
- New: The CLI now covers every channel API endpoint, including a raw “broadcast api” command.
- New: The API can replace an opt-in form’s whole after-submission view.

- Fixed: Opt-in forms read through the API now return the same settings you can create and update.
- Improved: The capability manifest for agents lists every API endpoint.
- Improved: The broadcast composer shows “1 subscriber” instead of “1 subscribers”.
October 03, 2026
- New: The migration API exports each channel’s own suppression list (GET /api/migration/v1/unsubscribed_emails), and the Ruby, Node, Python and PHP SDKs can page through it.
- Fixed: When an upgrade cannot start because a send is in progress, the dashboard now says so and shows why, instead of waiting for an upgrade that never begins.
- Fixed: Exports made with the migration API can now include the channel suppression list, which no migration endpoint returned before.
- Fixed: What’s New slides and the release notes on the updates page show bold and italic text instead of raw asterisks.
- Fixed: The “full changelog” link in What’s New opens the updates page instead of an error.
- Fixed: The Agents page always uses the same API token for the introduction and the setup link: the oldest token, listed first.
October 02, 2026
- New: The dashboard is now available in Italian, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), Dutch, Polish, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian and Finnish, and each user picks their own language on My Profile.
- New: Password reset emails, channel maintenance logs and live progress for imports and sends appear in each user’s chosen language.

September 29, 2026
- New: Failed broadcasts can be resumed after you fix the problem, and they pick up where they stopped without re-sending to anyone.
- New: Webhook endpoints that stop responding are marked Delayed; their events are held and delivered once the endpoint recovers instead of being lost.
- New: The Webhooks page shows each endpoint’s health, a banner when any are delayed, and the queue of waiting deliveries.
- New: Parallel broadcasts send one broadcast.batch_completed webhook per batch instead of email.sent or email.failed for each recipient; subscribe your endpoints to the new event if you use parallel sending.
- New: The suppression list shows where each entry came from and what it blocks, and the suppressions API returns the source and reason.
- New: A channel setting lets provider hard bounces also block transactional email.
- New: Broadcast stats show emails sent separately from deliveries your provider confirmed.
- New: The transactional email API returns each email’s status and error.
- New: The CLI can move subscribers between sequences.
- Fixed: With a real email server active, some broadcast, sequence and transactional email went to the Test Server and was silently captured instead of delivered.
- Fixed: Password reset emails are delivered through your channel’s email server; before, they failed while the page said they were on their way.
- Fixed: One suppressed Postmark address no longer stops a whole broadcast.
- Fixed: A Postmark spam complaint about a newsletter no longer blocks that person’s password resets and receipts.
- Fixed: With an SMTP server, a retried or resumed send now delivers the email instead of marking the recipient sent without sending it.
- Fixed: In parallel sending, a revoked token or broken server stops the broadcast so it can be resumed, instead of marking every remaining recipient failed.
- Fixed: In parallel sending, a broadcast could be marked sent before all its batches were created and skip recipients.
- Fixed: A failing webhook no longer stops a send or makes an API request fail, and sequences no longer send a step twice after a webhook error.
- Fixed: Broadcasts sent through plain SMTP no longer show 0 sent.
- Fixed: Postmark soft bounces and auto-replies no longer suppress subscribers.
- Fixed: Tag changes made by sequence steps and opt-in forms are recorded in subscriber history and sent as subscriber.updated.
- Fixed: Renaming a tag or setting a sequence entry tag no longer removes people who joined the sequence another way.
- Fixed: Transactional emails without an unsubscribe link no longer show an Unsubscribe button in mail clients.
- Fixed: {{ channel_name }} renders in opt-in confirmation emails.

- Fixed: The CLI’s create –tag no longer replaces a subscriber’s existing tags.
- Fixed: A resumed parallel broadcast no longer shows 100% while it is still sending.

- Improved: Adding a real email server switches off the channel’s Test Server, unless something is still set to use it.
- Improved: New channels ask people to confirm before unsubscribing, so corporate link scanners no longer unsubscribe them.
- Improved: When an SMTP server rejects one recipient’s mailbox, only that recipient fails and the broadcast keeps going.
- Improved: Sequences stop sending to an address the provider rejects on the first attempt instead of retrying it five times.
- Improved: The email tidy-up deactivates the untidy copy of a duplicate address.
- Improved: The CLI reports enrollment results and rejects unknown options.
September 25, 2026
- New: Two new webhook events, subscribers.purged and subscribers.purge_failed. Purging a channel’s subscribers now sends one event for the whole list, with how many subscribers were removed, instead of a subscriber.deleted for every subscriber, and tells you if a purge stops before it finishes.
- Fixed: Purging all subscribers copes better when someone unsubscribes at the same moment, and tag subscriber counts stay correct even if a purge stops partway.
- Fixed: The code samples under View verification examples on a webhook endpoint are syntax highlighted again.
- Fixed: In the Subscribers, Sequences and Transactional sidebars, the buttons, navigation and filters sit inside the panel again, and the version number stays at the bottom.
- Improved: Send Test for the purge webhooks sends a sample shaped like the real event.
- Improved: The help tooltips on the webhook endpoint form wrap onto a few lines, so the form no longer scrolls sideways on phones and tablets.
- Improved: The Add Subscriber button in the sidebar matches the other sidebars’ buttons.
September 24, 2026
- New: Customise your unsubscribe pages in Settings > Unsubscribe Page, with your own text, legal links, a redirect after unsubscribing, and a live preview.
- New: Unsubscribe and double opt-in confirmation pages are available in 13 languages, and can follow each subscriber’s browser language.

- New: Choose how long double opt-in confirmation links stay valid, from 24 hours to never expiring.
- New: Unsubscribe and confirmation pages can use your whole Brand Kit, including logo, colours, font, corner radius and social links, or colours of their own.
- Fixed: The one-click Unsubscribe button in Gmail and Yahoo now actually unsubscribes the subscriber.
- Fixed: Migrating to another installation now keeps confirmation templates, and carries over the Brand Kit, channel language, and unsubscribe and confirmation page settings.

- Fixed: Refreshing or bookmarking a page while a dialog is open now shows the full page instead of an unstyled fragment.
- Fixed: Broadcasts created without a name, for example through the API or an autopilot, now take their subject as the name instead of showing a blank title.

- Improved: The test server now says it captures emails in a test inbox instead of delivering them, and the settings sidebar links to that inbox.
- Improved: Buttons in confirmation dialogs are spaced apart, and sidebar stats and the autopilot status card fit narrow widths.
September 16, 2026
- New: Built-in MCP server at /api/mcp, so Claude Code and other AI clients can use your Broadcast API with an API token, no install needed.
- New: Users API for admin API tokens: create, update, deactivate and delete users, and manage their channel and system permissions. Sudo users are read-only.
- New: Set a rate limit on each API token, or leave it blank to use the installation default.
- Fixed: Admins can assign channel access to newly created users again, instead of hitting a “route cannot be found” error.
- Fixed: A new user with no channel access now shows the channels you can grant, instead of an empty page.
- Fixed: Autopilot schedules run at the time you picked. Existing schedules saved from a browser outside UTC may now show the time they have actually been running at; run bin/rails autopilots:correct_drifted_schedule_times DRY_RUN=1 to preview a repair.
- Fixed: Autopilot drafts no longer fail with empty answers when a reasoning model spends its whole token budget on thinking.
- Fixed: GDPR-erased subscribers are never returned by the API, and their placeholder email can no longer be used to recreate or re-enroll them.
- Fixed: Deleting a user who had run channel maintenance or confirmed AI actions no longer fails.
- Fixed: Copy buttons on the Agents page and webhook code samples copy again.
- Fixed: API token lists show every permission a token has, including Users, Templates, Suppressions, Autopilot and Opt-In Forms.
- Improved: The subscriber Last Emails tab now shows sequence and personal or transactional emails, not just broadcasts.
- Improved: Autopilot drafts turn bare URLs into links and use today’s date.
- Improved: The Send Email form on a subscriber’s page no longer mentions Liquid variables.
- Improved: The agent setup guide and API skill manifest now list the Users API, suppressions and each token’s real rate limit.
- New: Liquid variables are highlighted in every email preview: broadcasts, templates, sequence steps, transactional emails and autopilot drafts, including the subject line.
- Fixed: A transactional email to someone with no name on file now uses the fallback in {{ first_name | default: “there” }} instead of their email address.
- Fixed: Transactional subjects and preview text now render Liquid variables, like the body already did.
- Fixed: Opening a pending transactional email no longer shows an error page.
- Fixed: An autopilot’s GitHub source now fetches the content you tick: commits, pull requests, issues and releases. The boxes had no effect, and every source fetched commits and releases.
- Fixed: Recent pull requests now reach an autopilot draft; GitHub was returning the oldest ones, so an active repository’s pull requests were always left out.
- Fixed: A Liquid fallback in an AI-written draft, such as {{ first_name | default: “there” }}, now survives into the email instead of being mangled.
- Fixed: An autopilot’s Setup Progress no longer asks you to set a schedule it does not need, and Total Runs counts every run, matching Run History and the API.
- Fixed: Links in an autopilot draft preview keep their Liquid variables, and the plain-text preview no longer indents its first line.
- Improved: AI-written drafts replace em dashes with commas and drop stray backticks.
- Improved: Autopilots no longer keep a separate run counter; the page and the API count runs directly. This is what the database migration in this release removes.
September 15, 2026
- New: Releases API sources on an autopilot have an optional “Days to look back” setting; leave it blank to include every release, or use 7 for a weekly digest.
- Fixed: Autopilot content sources can no longer fetch private-network or internal addresses, including through redirects.
- Fixed: The Test button on an autopilot content source now really fetches it and shows the result or the error on the page, instead of a placeholder number in a pop-up.
- Fixed: Releases API sources no longer pick up a hidden 7-day limit from the RSS settings, which could stop a product update autopilot from finding your latest release; existing sources keep any limit they were saved with, so check it under Edit.
- Fixed: Autopilots that use the AI provider from application settings now run on their schedule again; previously they were silently skipped and only ran when you clicked Run Now.
- Fixed: Starting a drag-and-drop broadcast or template now opens a “Choose a layout” gallery with Blank plus twelve ready-made layouts, each previewed in your brand kit.
- Fixed: A Liquid fallback in an email’s title, such as {{ first_name | default: “there” }}, now renders correctly in drag-and-drop emails instead of coming out blank.
September 14, 2026
- New: A drag-and-drop email builder for broadcasts, templates, sequence steps and API transactionals, with headings, text, images, buttons, columns, social links, video, a brand header and a footer.
- New: The builder opens in its own window and saves as you work, with undo, a mobile preview, personalisation tags and a preview as any subscriber.
- New: A brand kit on the Design settings page sets your logo, colours, font and social links once, and every drag-and-drop email starts from it.
- New: The brand kit can also style the unsubscribe page, the double opt-in confirmation page and new opt-in forms, each switched on separately.
- New: Save any drag-and-drop design as a template, or start from a gallery of ready-made layouts.
- New: The rich-text editor’s colour control offers your brand accent in one click.
- New: The API reads a channel’s brand kit at GET /api/v1/channel/design and accepts drag-and-drop designs for broadcasts, templates and transactionals, and the Ruby, Node, Python and PHP SDKs support it.
- New: HTML templates have an “Add the channel footer” setting that applies wherever the template is sent.
- Fixed: Postmark server tokens are no longer written to the application log.
- Fixed: A second test email to the same address is no longer silently skipped, and a test sent to a subscriber’s address no longer blocks their copy of the real broadcast.
- Fixed: Postmark setup now creates the broadcast message stream that new Postmark servers lack, so broadcasts no longer fail with “stream ‘broadcast’ does not exist”.
- Fixed: Click tracking no longer rewrites mailto: and tel: links.
- Fixed: The “Include unsubscribe link” checkbox no longer shows a grey tick.
- Improved: Transactional emails made from an HTML template now send as HTML and follow the template’s footer setting, and existing HTML templates start with the footer off so nothing changes until you turn it on.
- Improved: The template picker shows each template’s type and lists only templates that match the email you are writing.
- Improved: Links in email previews open in a new tab.
- Improved: The autosave switch explains when it is off because the draft is open in another tab, and restoring an unsaved draft is clearer.
September 12, 2026
- New: Opt-in form checkboxes can act as “select all”. Give a checkbox a field key ending in _all (for example city_all) and checking it selects and locks every checkbox sharing that prefix; only the _all key is stored on the subscriber.
- Fixed: Backup file names are now validated, closing a gap where a user with backup permissions could download arbitrary files from the server.
- Fixed: Clicking a tracked link whose redirect record no longer exists returned a server error instead of a not-found page.
- Fixed: Checked boxes on embedded opt-in forms drew two overlapping checkmarks.
- Improved: Email previews in the admin now block scripts and run in a sandboxed frame, so HTML pasted into a broadcast cannot execute in your browser.
- Improved: The checkbox block editor explains the select-all naming convention and how segment rules should match it.
September 10, 2026
- New: Two-factor authentication with an authenticator app. Enrol from My Profile with a QR code, keep ten single-use recovery codes, and sign in with your password plus a six-digit code.
- New: Require two-factor authentication for every user from Application → Security, with a 7, 14 or 30 day grace period that reminds people before it locks them out.
- New: Administrators can reset another user’s two-factor from their page under Users, and a two_factor command in broadcast.sh recovers an installation where nobody can sign in.
- New: Sign users in from Cloudflare Access. Users who pass your Access application are signed in automatically, and password sign-in can be switched off once the origin is behind Cloudflare.
- New: Switch a development server to edge builds from the updates page, and see the edge image built automatically from every change to main.
- Fixed: Purging a channel’s subscribers no longer fails with a lock timeout. It runs in the background in batches, and a second purge cannot start while one is running.
- Improved: The email editor is upgraded to Tiptap 3, which closes two published security advisories in the editor library.
August 18, 2026
- Fixed: A burst of Amazon SES delivery notifications no longer exhausts the server’s connections and leaves the app unresponsive.
- Improved: Amazon SES delivery notifications are now processed in the background, so a large campaign’s notifications no longer compete with the rest of the app for capacity.
August 17, 2026
- New: Every dashboard page now has its own web address that includes the channel, so a link or bookmark always opens the channel it names.
- Fixed: Working in more than one browser tab no longer mixes up channels. Each tab stays on the channel in its own address, so switching channels in one tab can no longer retarget another and send from the wrong list.
- Fixed: Resubscribe links that reach a recipient mangled, for example truncated or rewritten by their email client, now show a proper page instead of an error.
- Fixed: Malformed Amazon SES webhook deliveries are now rejected cleanly instead of erroring, which stops Amazon retrying the same bad delivery repeatedly.
- Fixed: The In Progress tab on the Jobs page now loads instead of showing an error.
- Improved: Opening a link that belongs to another channel now switches the whole interface to that channel.
- Improved: A link naming a channel you do not have access to is refused, rather than quietly showing you a different channel.
August 15, 2026
- Fixed: Connection handling for SMTP servers on port 465.
- Fixed: The STARTTLS setting on custom SMTP servers is now applied as configured.
- New: Rule groups can be joined with AND by clicking the OR badge between them, instead of only from the dropdown at the top of the rules.
- New: Segments can target subscribers who clicked an email carrying a given tag, using the Tags field.
- New: SendGrid and Mailgun email servers can now send over their APIs instead of SMTP, with their credentials editable in the server form.
- New: Each installation serves its own API specification at /api/v1/openapi, so the document always matches the version you are running.
- Fixed: The subscriber activity feed now requires you to be signed in. It was previously readable by anyone who knew a subscriber’s email address.
- Fixed: Segment rules added to a new rule group are no longer silently dropped when you save.
- Fixed: Open and click tracking preferences are now honoured when sending over the SendGrid and Mailgun APIs.
- Fixed: A segment rule on Is Active now returns deactivated subscribers instead of nothing.
- Fixed: The segment page describes its rules correctly. Groups joined with AND no longer display as OR, and groups matching any rule are no longer described as matching all of them.
- Fixed: Changing a rule’s field no longer leaves the previous value behind in the box.
- Fixed: The live subscriber count now respects the case-sensitive checkbox, so it matches what the saved segment returns.
- Fixed: A “does not contain” rule on a custom data field now includes subscribers who do not have that field at all.
- Improved: The two boxes on an emails-clicked rule are now labelled, so it is clear which is the count and which is the number of days.
- Improved: File Assets states its real upload limits and no longer offers formats that would be rejected.

August 11, 2026
- The suppression list now accepts international email addresses, including ones with accented or non-Latin characters.
- Adding one of those addresses from the Settings screen works now. The form used to refuse to submit before the address ever reached Broadcast.
- Uploading a suppression list that was saved as Latin-1 or Windows-1252 no longer fails outright. The lines that could not be read are reported as invalid and the rest are added.
- Bounces and spam complaints that fail to reach the suppression list are now recorded in the logs instead of failing silently.
August 10, 2026
- Fix index issue that could potentially cause db locks
August 09, 2026
- Sequences can now send on Postmark’s bulk stream instead of the transactional one, chosen per sequence in its settings.
- A channel can connect more than one Postmark server, and guided setup now asks whether you are reconnecting an existing server or adding another.
- Guided setup no longer adds an extra “Postmark - ” to a server’s name each time it runs.
- A new maintenance task repairs Postmark server names that already collected those prefixes.
- Upgrades now refuse to start while a job is running or a broadcast is sending, and name what is blocking them.
- Automated upgrades wait and retry once the queue drains instead of failing.
- A database migration blocked by another connection now fails after fifteen seconds instead of leaving the app unable to start.
- The installation dashboard now shows the real job queue, which previously always appeared empty.

August 07, 2026
- The ESP setup wizard now verifies every sender identity on your channel, not just the primary sender address.
- Sender verification warnings link straight to the identity they name, so you land on the right record instead of hunting for it.
- DMARC checks no longer report “Missing” for subdomains when the policy is published on the organizational domain.
- DNS Health now agrees with your email provider’s own verification verdict instead of contradicting it.
- New email servers created in the wizard default to non-transactional types.
- Making a sender identity the default now asks you to confirm, naming the exact address and what changes, so the transactional sender cannot be swapped by a stray click.
- Sender addresses are shielded from Cloudflare’s email obfuscation, which was garbling newly added identities.
- New sender identities are checked against free email domains and flagged before you try to verify them.
- The SMTP.com webhook is now authenticated with a per-channel secret, closing a hole that let anyone forge bounce, complaint, and unsubscribe events for your subscribers. Existing installs have their callbacks re-registered automatically.
- SMTP.com delivery tracking now works: the callback registration was hitting a malformed API path with invalid event names, so no events were ever recorded.
- Sessions whose channel was deleted now fall back to an active channel instead of stranding you on an inactive one with a permission error.

August 04, 2026
- Converting a product update draft into a broadcast now downloads the announcement’s images and stores them on your own installation, so emails no longer hotlink remote files and the composer displays them correctly.
- Fix: the editor toolbar now stays visible below the header while you scroll long emails, on desktop and mobile.
- Server-side fetching of remote content (announcement images and tone sample imports) is hardened against requests reaching private network addresses.
- Autopilots can now announce your product updates: point one at your changelog, releases API, or GitHub releases and it drafts an announcement email for each new version, staged for your review before anything sends.
- Announcement drafts embed your release screenshots and link your docs and blog posts when your releases endpoint provides them, and any image or link the AI did not get from your release data is stripped before you see the draft.
- A new Releases API source type reads version, notes, and date fields from any JSON changelog endpoint.
- Tone samples can now be imported instead of hand-pasted: pick one of your existing broadcasts from a searchable list, or point at a blog article and its readable text becomes the sample.
- The AI Assistant settings page is now AI Settings, the system-wide AI default: it lists exactly what uses it, powers both Ask AI and autopilot email generation, and can be cleared.
- Scheduled newsletter autopilots no longer need their own OpenRouter key: they can ride the system-wide default when its provider is OpenRouter, chosen explicitly with a new key-source option, or copy another autopilot’s key securely.
- Fixed an error that broke fetching from every autopilot source type, so scheduled newsletters pulling from GitHub, RSS, or webpages work again.
- The autopilot sidebar now sends Dashboard to the autopilots index and nests each autopilot’s pages under its name.
- Buttons across the app use solid colors instead of gradients.
- The autopilots API gains trigger modes, a version override when triggering runs, and release fields on run responses, so announcements can be driven from a release pipeline.

August 03, 2026
- Recipient counts now agree everywhere they appear. The broadcasts list, the broadcast page and the composer’s review step all report the same figure, someone in two selected segments is counted once rather than twice, and unsubscribed or inactive subscribers are no longer included.
- Duplicating a broadcast now keeps its audience. Copies previously reverted to every subscriber in the channel, which could send a segmented campaign to your entire list.
- Duplicating a broadcast also keeps its email server selection, tags and custom headers.
- The composer’s review step now updates as you edit. It previously showed the name, subject and preview text as they were when the page first loaded.
- Timestamps throughout the app now display in your own timezone instead of UTC.
- Charts and daily figures are grouped by days in your timezone, so activity near midnight is counted on the day it happened for you.
- Exported CSV files write timestamps in UTC ISO 8601 format, so they read identically for everyone and import cleanly into other tools.
- The broadcasts sidebar no longer counts archived broadcasts in its total.
- A new diagnose command collects logs, layered health checks and an incident timeline into one report you can paste to support, capturing logs before anything can overwrite them.
- A new fix command repairs common installation drift such as directories, ownership, systemd units, cron entries and missing env keys, and tells you plainly what it cannot fix.
- Restores now verify the backup checksum, refuse to run against an incompatible version, accept –yes for automation, and no longer report success when they failed.
- Log streaming in the web UI now survives container recreation, and the watcher restarts on upgrade so new code takes effect.
- Upgrades now prune old images as they were always meant to, reclaiming disk that was silently left behind.
- New opt-in server health monitoring reports to your dashboard every minute and emails you when your server goes down or recovers, with detection to alert taking about two minutes.
- New monitor-enable and monitor-disable commands switch that reporting on and off, and you can verify for yourself that nothing is sent when it is off.
- Your installation now boots without needing the container registry to be reachable, and keeps retrying rather than giving up if something is not ready yet.
- Logs now persist through restarts, so the evidence of a problem survives the restart meant to fix it.
Read more about this release
- Channels can now have multiple sender identities, so different broadcasts, sequences, and transactional emails can send from different names and addresses.
- Sender verification now reports the true status of each identity, runs checks automatically, and shows exactly where an identity stands with a check-now option.
- Sender settings are consolidated into a single tabbed page with contextual help.
- The channel permissions page now shows one row per channel with a role badge and a plain-language summary, with the full permission breakdown one click away.
- You can select several channels and apply a role or permission preset to all of them in one confirmed step.
- Channels a user cannot access yet are listed with a grant-access shortcut, replacing the old dropdown menu.
- Permission presets now have descriptions so admins can tell at a glance what each one is for.
- The users list is searchable by name or email, with quick filters for sudo, read-only, inactive, and recently active users.
- User pages were redesigned with channel access grouped by role, and editing a user now happens in a slide-over panel instead of a separate screen.
- Sudo access granted through system permissions is now recognized consistently everywhere and can be revoked again.
- Confirmation prompts now use an in-app dialog instead of the browser popup.
- Segments support AND groups for more precise audience targeting.
- Subscribers can be searched by email across all channels at once.
- Fixed an error when the update check timed out instead of failing gracefully.
- The Docker image now includes process tools to make support diagnostics easier on self-hosted installs.

July 31, 2026
- You can now copy a channel’s suppression list onto the global list in one action, so an address that bounced or complained in one channel stops receiving mail from your other channels.
- Suppressions are now available through the API, covering both a channel’s own list and the global list, with bulk add and remove and a check endpoint that answers whether a given address will receive mail.
- API tokens can now be granted read and write access to suppressions.
- Fixed: links in your email footer are now click-tracked when Track clicks is enabled, on both broadcasts and sequences.
- Fixed: the composer’s Review tab now reflects the tracking settings you chose, rather than the ones that were set when the page loaded.
- Fixed: New Broadcast → Start from Template no longer returns you to the list without creating anything, and HTML templates now appear in that list.

July 30, 2026
- Improve guards to prevent double sending in sequences.
- Removing a subscriber from a sequence now sticks, instead of being quietly undone and starting them over.
- A sequence step that keeps failing now stops after a few attempts instead of retrying forever.
- Subscribers whose sequence stopped with an error are now listed on the sequence page, with the reason and the sending server named.
- Restarting someone’s sequence is now recorded in their activity, along with how many times they have been enrolled.
- Redacted subscribers now leave their sequences cleanly instead of being recorded as a failure.
- Adding a subscriber who is already in a sequence no longer reports it as a failure.
- The sequences API now returns a success when adding a subscriber who is already enrolled.
July 29, 2026
- The AWS SES suppression sync now explains what it actually does. It imports bounces and complaints from your AWS account-level suppression list into the current channel, and is only needed to backfill events from before the SNS webhook was connected.
- Broadcast now has a Maintenance section under Settings that finds and repairs imported data it cannot use, such as dates written in a format segment rules cannot compare.
- Each repair scans your channel and shows exactly what it would change, with a link to every affected record, before anything is written.
- The broadcast composer no longer fails to load when a subscriber has an unreadable date stored in a custom field.
- Segment rules comparing dates in custom fields now skip values they cannot read, instead of the whole segment returning nothing.
- When importing a CSV you can now declare the date format of each column, so a file written as 24/01/2026 imports correctly without editing it first.
- The import summary tells you how many dates it could not read, so a wrongly formatted column is obvious straight away.
- Dates typed into a segment rule in the wrong format used to match nobody with no explanation; Maintenance now finds and repairs them.
- The opt-in form analytics API now expects ISO dates and answers a bad one with a clear error naming the parameter, rather than failing outright or quietly reporting a different month.
- Subscriber list filters in the API now accept a plain date as well as a full timestamp.
- The server reboot notice has moved to the top right and no longer blocks the buttons underneath it.

July 27, 2026
- The Send Report button on the error page now works. Reports submitted from a 500 page previously arrived empty or failed outright.
- The error page now shows you exactly what it will send before you send it, with email addresses, keys and tokens removed.
- The error page no longer says your team has been notified, which was never true — sending the report is what notifies us.
- Filtering subscribers by Active or Inactive status now works, and a CSV export matches the filter shown on screen.
- Pages that wrongly showed “Dashboard” in the breadcrumb now show their own trail, including Backups, Agents, Domain DNS Health, and the create-channel and email server setup wizards.
- Public demo installations can no longer generate API credentials, store an AI provider key, register webhooks, or reach the migration API.
Read more about this release
- Autopilot can now be granted to non-sudo users.
- The API gained /api/v1/autopilots, covering create, read, update, delete, activate, pause, deactivate, trigger a run, and list runs. The Autopilot permissions on API tokens had existed for months with nothing behind them, and the token forms now have checkboxes for them.
- Release Notes in the sidebar offers “Take a tour of these features” on any release, reopening that version’s What’s New wizard.
- A notice appears when a newer version of Broadcast is available, and the updates page has a setting to turn the hourly check off.
- Breaking: The updates, host system, licence and storage admin pages now require a system permission. Previously any signed-in user could reach them, including the actions that restart the application, write storage credentials, or change the installed version. Users who are not sudo will lose access to these pages until you grant them the relevant permission under Settings then Users.
- Fix: Autopilot was silently restricted to sudo users, with no way for an admin to delegate it and no error explaining why.
- Fix: Admin sections a user has no permission to open are no longer shown in the sidebar or on the Application page.

July 26, 2026
- Subscribers, broadcasts and a broadcast’s recipient activity can each now be exported to CSV.
- Every export contains exactly the rows the screen was showing, so a search, a tag or an event filter carries into the file.
- The broadcasts export is a performance summary with one row per send and its open, click, bounce and spam rates, and contains no recipient data.
- The Export subscriber data permission now governs the subscriber export, having previously governed nothing.
- Redacted subscribers are never included in an export.
- Clicking a recipient in a broadcast’s Recent Activity now opens that subscriber instead of replacing the panel with “Content missing”.
- Searching templates no longer returns a server error.
- A recipient who opened an email no longer shows a dash under Delivered.
Read more about this release
- Subscriber search now matches any part of an email address, including the domain, so searching a domain finds everyone on it.
- The broadcasts list shows when each broadcast was sent, not just when it was created, with bounce and spam rates alongside opens and clicks.
- Templates and segments can be cloned from their lists, and a cloned segment keeps every rule.
- A sent broadcast’s recipient activity is now a sortable table with one row per recipient, a status for each, and filters for opened, clicked, bounced, spam and unsubscribed.
- A subscriber’s Activity now records opens and clicks, not just sends, each naming the broadcast involved.
- Templates can carry tags and be filtered by them, and subscriber tags are clickable to filter the subscriber list.
- A template can be copied to another channel, with a link that takes you straight to the copy.
- Opt-in signups no longer lose the subscriber’s first and last name, so confirmation and welcome emails address people properly.
- Confirmation links are now sent over https, keeping the single-use token off cleartext.
- Confirmation, welcome and API transactional emails now send correctly on a channel that relies on the platform default email server, instead of reporting the channel ready and then sending nothing.
- The sequence subscriber-error webhook now fires when an enrollment stops being able to progress, carrying the reason; it was previously offered in the endpoint settings but never delivered.
- The segments list distinguishes a segment whose subscriber count has never been calculated from one that genuinely has no subscribers.
- The setup checklist starts collapsed and says how many steps are missing, instead of covering the page.

July 24, 2026
- You can now automatically upload every backup to S3-compatible object storage such as AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2, Wasabi, or MinIO, so a copy survives the loss of your server.
- Configure the storage destination right from the Backups page, and test your connection before saving with a step-by-step check that verifies your bucket is reachable and writable.
- Each backup’s upload status is shown on the Backups page, with one-click retry for failed uploads.
- Older copies in your bucket are pruned automatically based on your remote retention setting, and deleting a backup also removes its copy from the bucket.
- Backups can be downloaded even after the local file is gone, fetched directly from your object storage.
- Creating a backup now reports failure immediately when the backup cannot start, instead of leaving a row stuck in Pending.
- The manual backup instructions for unmanaged installations now produce a file that appears in your backup history and works with the restore command.
- Backup pages and downloads now require the system backups permission.
- Long backup filenames no longer cause horizontal scrolling in the backup history.
- You can now download your application logs from the Application Logs page to forward to support.

July 23, 2026
- The email server edit form now offers all 18 Amazon SES regions, including Europe (Stockholm) eu-north-1.
- Fixed a bug where editing an email server whose saved AWS region was missing from the form list silently rewrote the region to us-east-1 when saving an unrelated change. The saved region is now always preserved, even if it is not in the list.
- Domain DNS Health now correctly recognizes Amazon SES DKIM records, which use a minimal record format that was previously reported as missing even when the DNS was configured correctly.
- The API now returns a warnings array whenever a request succeeds but the outcome differs from what you asked, such as a misspelled parameter, a skipped double opt-in, or a value the server overrode.
- Transactional email sends support an Idempotency-Key header so retrying a request after a timeout can never send the same email twice.
- Admin API tokens can migrate subscribers from another platform with their confirmation state intact by passing confirmed_at on create.
- Deactivating a subscriber through the update API now warns that only the unsubscribe endpoint records an unsubscribe date and suppression entry.
- The Domain DNS Health page now explains that checks watch for changes against a known-good baseline, shows the previous SPF record when it changes, and explains why DKIM records with randomized selector names need the setup wizard or a manual selector.
- Cancelling a scheduled broadcast now reports an error if the cancellation fails instead of appearing to succeed.
- Documentation pages that link to other pages no longer fail to load.

July 06, 2026
- After an upgrade, Broadcast now greets you with a short What’s New tour that walks through the new features screen by screen.
- The tour shows each feature with a screenshot and a link to try it, appears once per user, and can be dismissed at any time.
- Broadcast now runs on Ruby 4.0.5.

June 29, 2026
- Fixed subscriber CSV/TSV import: drag-and-drop now accepts dropped files instead of the browser opening them
- Fixed the import file picker not showing the selected file or starting the import
June 24, 2026
- This release includes behind-the-scenes maintenance, dependency upgrades, and security patches for improved stability.
June 15, 2026
- Ask AI can now answer email deliverability questions using real SPF, DKIM, and DMARC check data for your domains.
- Ask AI no longer shows an empty bubble while it works on answers that use tools — the progress indicator stays visible until the answer is ready.
- The Application Logs viewer now shows recent log history as soon as you start streaming, and tells you when the log file looks stale instead of appearing silently empty.
Read more about this release
June 13, 2026
- You can now monitor SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records for each channel’s sending domains from a new Domain DNS Health page in Settings, with at-a-glance status badges for every domain.
- Broadcast re-checks your email authentication records automatically every few hours and shows a banner on your dashboard if a record that was previously healthy changes or disappears.
- DKIM monitoring works with any provider now: it uses records from the provider setup wizard where available, automatically discovers common selectors for SMTP and other providers, and lets you add custom selectors by hand.
- When a domain has no DMARC record, the page offers a ready-to-copy starter record along with a reminder to make sure the reporting mailbox exists.

June 02, 2026
- Fixed an error that prevented the Ask AI assistant from starting a conversation on self-hosted installations.
June 01, 2026
- Fixed a database migration error that prevented self-hosted upgrades to 2.12.0 from completing.
- Introducing Ask AI, an in-app AI assistant you can chat with from a side drawer to get answers about your account and take actions.
- Ask AI can look up your subscribers, broadcasts, segments, and other data to answer questions.
- Ask AI can create broadcasts, segments, and sequence steps for you, with a confirmation step before any changes are made.
- Ask AI can send or schedule broadcasts on your behalf after you confirm.
- Configure your AI provider and model under Settings → AI, with support for OpenAI and OpenRouter and an encrypted API key.
- The model dropdown loads OpenRouter’s live model catalog and groups choices by vendor.
- Ask AI replies stream in as formatted text, and the assistant’s reasoning is shown separately from its answer.
- Switch between past conversations, which are now given automatic titles, and see prompt suggestions tailored to the page you’re on.
- Subscriber personal information is replaced with placeholders before anything is sent to an AI provider.
- A new AI activity view lets you review how Ask AI has been used in each channel.
- Email delivery is now idempotent, so subscribers no longer receive duplicate copies of a broadcast.
- Temporary sending failures are now automatically retried for both broadcasts and transactional emails.
- A single bad recipient no longer stops an entire broadcast from sending.
- Interrupted broadcast sends can now resume where they left off.
- You can now manually reset an email server’s rate limit.
- Fixed opt-in form submissions from embedded iframes being silently dropped.
- Fixed the broadcast progress page showing “Recipients undefined”.
- Fixed several issues with segment rules to make subscriber filtering more accurate.
- The recipient count on the broadcast progress page now animates with a count-up effect.
May 25, 2026
- Backups now show one completed entry instead of a duplicate failed row
May 23, 2026
- Confirmation and welcome emails now preserve the paragraph spacing from your rich-text templates instead of stripping out line breaks.
- Creating a backup no longer occasionally starts a duplicate that gets stuck pending forever, and backups that stall are now cleared automatically.
May 09, 2026
- When you upload a subscriber CSV or TSV, Broadcast now shows a preview of your data and lets you map each column to email, name, tags, custom fields, or ignore, with the first ten rows visible so you can sanity-check before importing.
- CSV files can now include a tags column. Choose comma, pipe, or semicolon as the separator on the import page if your file uses something other than quoted commas.
- The opt-in form editor adds four new block types to the palette: Dropdown, Radio Group, Image, and Spacer.
- Image blocks can either upload a new image or pick one from your existing file asset library.
- Security and embedding-domain settings are now editable directly inside the editor’s Settings modal.
- The opt-in form read API now returns the full attribute set for every block, including value type, custom data key, and the required and validation flags.
- ARM64 Docker images are now tagged with the application version alongside :latest, so self-hosted deployments can pin to a specific release.

May 03, 2026
- Opt-in form builders can now add a Custom Field block from the editor palette to collect free-text answers into subscriber custom data.
- Custom fields can be set to multi-line so they render as a textarea on the form, with a hint showing how to preserve line breaks in email templates.
- Opt-in submissions now reject any custom_data value larger than 2KB with a clear per-field error.
- The opt-in form checkbox now has rounded corners that match the rest of the widget’s styling.
- The checkbox inspector now spells out exactly where the value is stored and what its default key is.
- Block inspector panels no longer duplicate the canvas preview, leaving the live canvas as the single source of preview.
- Updated dependencies including Rails to 8.1.3.

May 01, 2026
- Broadcast channels can now host multiple autopilots, each with its own sources, tone, schedule, and target segments.

April 28, 2026
- Customize what subscribers see on the confirmation page after clicking a double opt-in link, with separate heading and body text for each of six page states; edit any confirmation template’s sidebar to use the new state selector.

Channels now have a Language setting under Settings → General Channel Settings, currently English-only with infrastructure for future translations. Fixed a bug where confirmation pages for opt-in form subscribers never showed the custom text set on the form’s confirmation template. The logo on confirmation and error pages is now centered. Documentation now has a global search modal accessible from any docs page. Old nested documentation URLs now redirect to their new flat slugs so existing links keep working.
