Version 5.0.0 major update :

Major new release - completely rewritten for compatibility with both XF 2.1 and 2.2

• bugfix: admin edit fields weren't appearing in the correct place
• bugfix: admin edits weren't being saved
• update: now uses a job to find users and queue emails
• update: list unsubscribe header now gets added to outbound email
• update: in test mode the prefix [Test] is added to the subject line
• update: better support for processing user unsubscribes
• update: SparkPost support now moved to a separate addon so we can support XF 2.2
• update: tested on XF 2.2
• feature: option to honour the Receive admin emails setting
• feature: support for monthly digest emails
• feature: widget to encourage users to opt in to digest emails
• feature: add any HTML to the top or bottom of emails

Important breaking changes :

1. the default option is now to honour the "Receive new and update emails" option in user preferences. You will need to turn this off in the settings to retain the previous behaviour.
2. if you use either of my SparkPostMail addons (v1.x or v2.x), you must install the What's New Digest adapter for SparkPost addon - some integration functionality has been removed from this addon to the separate adapter addon to maximise compatibility across XF versions.

Version 5.0.0b bugfix : Fixed a bug with the display of HTML in emails

Version 5.0.1 bugfix : missing use statement in XF\EmailUnsubscribe\Processor.

Version 5.0.2 bugfix : was trying to filter new or updated threads even if none were found

Version 5.0.3a : No changes to functionality - but I removed all of the testing code from the release package.
There is no need to install this version if you already have v5.0.3 installed - it won't fix the problem and there is no new code.

If you have already installed 5.0.3 and you want to clean up the additional files, you can safely remove the following files and directories under src/addons/Hampel/WhatsNewDigest/...:

composer.json
composer.lock
phpunit.xml
tests/
vendor/

The upgrade process doesn't delete the additional files, but it won't do any harm to leave them there.

Version 5.0.4 bugfix : Fixed typo in XF\EmailUnsubscribe\Processor::applyUserUnsubscribeAction - thanks to @Mouth for finding the bug !

Version 5.0.5 bugfix :

- The test tool was not respecting the exclude forums list from the options - that is now fixed.
- Note that this bug did not affect the emails sent to users - that did use the exclude forums list correctly.

5.0.6 fixes for XF 2.2.14:​

XenForo 2.2.14 adds new functionality for adding one-click unsubscribe headers to emails. Unfortunately, the code released in 2.2.14PL2 breaks functionality by removing a core option.

This release of WND fixes the errors by relying on XF 2.2.14 to set the headers for us - which should work in the majority of cases.

Note: if you are not planning to upgrade to XF 2.2.14 yet, I recommend you do not install v5.0.6 of this addon. Installing 5.0.6 with XF 2.2.13 or earlier won't break anything - but the one-click unsubscribe headers won't be added to your digest emails, which is not ideal.

So I currently recommend:

• XF <= 2.2.13, you remain on WND 5.0.5
• XF >= 2.2.14, install WND 5.0.6

Télécharger V5.0.6:

Version 5.1.0 - XF 2.3 compatibility :

• update helper_account template modification to work with both XF2.3 and earlier versions
• listen for sparkpostmail_non_transactional_stop_map event and use the whatsnewdigest email stopper
• tweak unsubscribe confirmation message
• separate out getMail function so we can over-ride it and add functionality

Version 5.3.0 - Bugfixes and updated test tool :

• bugfix: user preference field in AdminCP wasn't showing in XF 2.3 due to template modifications that no longer worked - this has been fixed
• bugfix: unsubscribe uses stopAllExcept by default in XF 2.3 - so we need to ensure we're stopping Whats New Digest if this is called instead of StopAll
• update test tool to allow sending test emails to a specific user - and handling no threads

Updated test tool now allows you to choose a user to receive a test email digest - which means you can use a test user to validate that unsubscribe options are working as expected.

Version 5.3.1 bugfix - XF2.2 backwards compatibility :
- Minor change for XF2.2 backwards compatibility. Only required if running XF2.2 - anyone running XF2.3 can skip this upgrade if you choose.

Version 5.4.1 (2026-10-16)

• the two template modifications that add the digest preference to the admin user page are now one. XenForo changed how template macros are written in 2.3, so there was one modification per syntax and exactly one of them always matched nothing — correct, but whats-new-digest:validate reported it as an unmatched modification, which reasonably reads as a fault. A single pattern now handles both, so validate reports all modifications applied and anything else is a real problem
