Latest releases

Changelog
  1. v3.0.0-beta.1

    Plugins. Install plugins from the Broadcast plugin directory, review their permissions and code, and turn them on per channel.

  2. v2.53.2

    The Host System page warns when a storage folder cannot be written or is not mounted in the app or job container, and shows the command or line that fixes it.

  3. v2.53.1

    Sequence subscribers no longer stop with the error “undefined method ‘sequence’ for nil” when their current step is missing. They continue after the last email they got, so no email is sent twice.

  4. v2.53.0

    Each channel can now delete its sent and failed transactional emails, with their tracking data, after a number of days you choose (Settings, General, Data Retention).

  5. v2.52.1

    The preview of an HTML broadcast no longer shows a false Liquid error when a link uses {% raw %} or other Liquid tags. The email itself was always sent correctly.

  6. v2.52.0

    Email previews for broadcasts, templates, transactional emails and sequence steps now show personalized content filled in with sample data, instead of raw Liquid tags.

  7. v2.51.2

    Improved: Broadcast now runs on an updated Ruby version that includes upstream security fixes.

  8. v2.51.1

    Security hardening for first-time setup and the admin areas.

  9. v2.51.0

    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.

  10. v2.50.4

    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.

Under consideration

Ideas we are weighing. They may or may not be built. Anything released is in the changelog.

Deliverability

  • Bounce classification

    Tell a soft bounce (try again) from a hard bounce (never again).

  • Temporary suppressions

    Suppressions that expire on their own, next to the permanent ones.

  • Bot-click filtering

    Security scanners and privacy proxies stop inflating opens and clicks, or firing automations.

  • Gmail Feedback-ID headers

    Gmail reports complaint rates per channel.

  • Typo detection at signup

    Catch “gmial.com” before it reaches your list.

  • Disposable address blocking

    On opt-in forms.

    Built into the send flow.

    A warning before Gmail clips your email at 102 KB.
