Today (13th February 2020) we have released 2.16 which includes many enhancements and bug-fixes.

Some of the most important updates include:

  • Fix for Maxmind IP lookup feature requiring authorization
  • PHP 7.3 support
  • New Campaign Actions
  • Update to the Zoho CRM integration to support the new v2 API from Zoho
  • Update to Salesforce integration to support TLS 1.2
  • SameSite cookie fix for Chrome 80 and other browsers

As always, we recommend that you install this update in a development environment and test thoroughly. We also recommend that you perform this update using the command line where possible, especially on shared hosting or where there are a lot of leads to process, which can result in a timeout with the browser update.

Features

  • #7567 New Campaign actions: Add/Remove Do Not Contact (@kuzmany)

This feature allows you to have a step in your campaigns which enables assigning of the ‘Do Not Contact’ status to a lead. Previously this could not be done as part of a campaign.

This pull request allows the saving of a contact image directly to the lead when submitted via a Mautic form
