Hello everyone,
After a lot of hard work we are able to release MailWizz 1.8.1 which brings a lot of improvements, changes and enhancements as the changelog shows.
Since this is a cumulative and large release, please make sure you backup your data before upgrading.
This brings us a step closer to MailWizz 2.0 and we're hoping that 1.8.x till 2.0 to be only maintenance releases. We will start our work for MailWizz 2.0 in August or September most likely.
Back to this release, we're really happy that we were able to include basic survey functionality. While not a complete solution yet, it's a step in the right direction which in future will become better and better. For now you can create simple surveys and include links to them in your campaigns.
Another note, i think people that use PHPMailer as the system mailer from Backend > Settings > Common, should switch to SwiftMailer instead as it is much more reliable and the difference in speed between the two is not that big.
Here's the version full changelog, from 1.7.5 which was latest stable release, to 1.8.1:
