Version 6.1

Important Upgrade Notes for Linux/PostgreSQL

Do not attempt to upgrade ListManager from a version of PostgreSQL other than 7.1.3. Because of a behavior change in Postgres, attempting to upgrade ListManager when using versions of PostgreSQL other than 7.1.3 will fail. See Technical Requirements for more information about supported operating systems and databases.

Important DNS Information

You may need to change your firewall configuration to allow ListManager to resolve DNS queries. See Ports ListManager Needs Open for more information.

Major New Features

1. Referral Tracking (Pro Only) - Help your list members invite their friends to your list, and track the results of those invitations -- whether they resulted in opens, clickthroughs or new joins.

2. Graphical Charts - ListManager now provides charts to help you monitor your server mailing speed. List subscription activity and membership charts also available for pro licenses.

3. New Discussion Forum Interface - New discussion forum interface makes it easier for list members to participate in group discussions, view and search archived messages (including text, HTML versions, and attachments), and manage their list memberships.

4. Attach Files in GUI - Add attachments to your content in the web interface, making it easier to distribute documents, spreadsheets, or other important files.

5. HTML Content Templates - Content templates make creating HTML newsletters easier.

6. Tcl Libraries Upgraded - Both the ListManager web interface and the program itself have been upgraded to use newer Tcl libraries, solving a number of problems originally attributed to ListManager itself.

Minor New Features and Improvements

1. Site map of web interface helps you find settings quickly and easily.

2. You may now set the maximum amount of bandwidth ListManager can use, so you have sufficient bandwidth for other applications.

3. Large CSV member imports are now supported by the interface.

4. List admins will not be overwritten when importing new members.

5. Mailing speeds statistics now saved to an SQL table, so mailing speeds are saved even if you restart ListManager.

6. ListManager addresses such as join- and confirm- can no longer be added to lists.

7. The ListManager Web Server may now be run as a service on a separate machine from the ListManager binary.

8. Non-pro users may now search for members by segment.
