- "changelog": "2.2.4 - 2026-02-16
- CRITICAL: Speed calculation now uses actual NEWSLETTER_CRON_INTERVAL value
- Fixed: Batch_size was being divided by 5 due to incorrect cron interval assumption
- Improved: Plugin now dynamically calculates speed based on actual Newsletter cron interval
- Technical: Loads Newsletter's cron.php to detect actual interval, supports any cron interval without hardcoded assumptions
2.2.3 - 2026-02-16
- CRITICAL: Overridden get_emails_per_run() to bypass Newsletter's internal calculation
- Fixed: Newsletter was calculating batch = speed / 12, resulting in only 8-16 emails per execution
- Fixed: Plugin now directly returns configured batch_size for proper queue loading
- Technical: Added get_emails_per_run() override in Plugin class
2.2.2 - 2026-02-16
- Fixed: Newsletter now correctly respects configured batch_size when enqueuing emails
- Fixed: Emails are now enqueued all at once to database instead of gradually
- Improved: Added public $batch property that Newsletter reads directly
- Improved: Added get_batch_size() method for Newsletter compatibility
- Technical: Mailers expose batch_size through multiple interfaces for Newsletter compatibility
2.2.1 - 2026-02-16
- Added: MultiSite detection in settings page with tailored worker commands
- Added: Worker script now supports --url parameter for MultiSite environments
- Improved: Settings page automatically displays installation-specific worker setup instructions
- Improved: Worker documentation with MultiSite usage examples
- Improved: README with dedicated MultiSite Installations section
- Technical: Worker script parses --url parameter and sets appropriate $_SERVER variables
- Technical: Settings page uses is_multisite() and get_site_url() for detection and URL generation
2.2.0 - 2026-02-16
- MAJOR: Database-backed email queue for persistent, reliable email delivery
- MAJOR: External CLI worker script for asynchronous email processing
- Added: Queue Status widget with real-time statistics (pending, processing, sent, failed)
- Added: Recent Campaigns section with key metrics in settings page
- Added: Email Queue admin page to view all queued and sent emails
- Added: Statistics admin page with campaign performance metrics
- Added: Parallel worker support for high-volume sending (10+ workers simultaneously)
- Added: Automatic retry with exponential backoff (up to 3 attempts: 5min → 15min → 30min)
- Added: Campaign statistics tracking (start time, duration, speed, success rate)
- Changed: Emails are now queued to database instead of sent immediately
- Changed: Settings page reorganized with Queue Status, Recent Campaigns, and Worker Configuration sections
- Changed: Campaign statistics now grouped by unique Newsletter ID instead of campaign name
- Removed: max_per_connection setting (no longer needed with worker architecture)
- Removed: Direct PHPMailer usage (replaced with wp_mail() in workers)
- Fixed: Duplicate campaign statistics for campaigns with same name but different IDs
- Fixed: Worker command documentation (corrected parallel worker syntax)
- BREAKING: Manual worker setup required - emails no longer send automatically
- BREAKING: System cron or process supervisor required for production use
- Technical: New database tables for queue and statistics with automatic creation on activation
- Technical: Microsecond precision timestamps for accurate performance metrics
- Security: CLI-only worker script with SQL injection prevention and capability checks
2.1.0 - 2026-02-09
- Changed: Uninstall behavior: plugin no longer performs cleanup on uninstall, all data cleanup is now handled by the core SMTP plugin
- Changed: This ensures Newsletter configuration is preserved when only the add-on is removed, and properly cleaned when the core plugin is uninstalled
- Technical: Simplified uninstall.php to delegate all cleanup responsibility to core SMTP plugin
2.0.1 - 2026-01-29
- Changed: Removed Network requirement from plugin headers to allow single-site activation
2.0.0 - 2026-01-29
- Changed: Updated compatibility with SMTP (by ROBOTSTXT) plugin 2.0.0
- Changed: Enhanced integration with core SMTP plugin security improvements
- Improved: Better error handling and validation
1.0.0 - 2026-01-29
