  Also known as changelog or news chart/bulletin.
  This is similar to the newsletter archive but with a different layout. You can choose which newsletters will appear in the log and by setting a "Publish date/time" they will appear chronologically ordered.
  Setting a future publish date is possible. The newsletter will not show in the log until then. See it here.
  The newsletter archive was also redesigned and improved
• Improvements for triggers
  New trigger action: on-list-confirm. Fires after the subscriber confirms his opt-in for one or more lists after using an opt-in form.
  Until now only "global opt-out" links were possible for triggered emails. Now you can also use "list opt-out" and redirect to "Subscriber portal".
  Better tracking for triggered emails with a click/open indicator.
  You can now also send text newsletters as trigger emails.
• The “Campaign completed” email that is sent to administrators includes a link to shared summary report and the html newsletter attached.
• When creating a campaign, you see an instant subscriber count when selecting lists, tags, filters and other options (no need to click 'Count').

• Amazon SNS for bounces processing: added option to ignore "transient" bounces that have sub-type "general". By default, it ignores them. You can change this in /inc/classUtil.php.
• The + sign in emails is now allowed in the opt-in process.
• Cloning a newsletter also clones the preheader.

• Added new date merge-tag in newsletters: Month DD, YYYY (December 11, 2022)
• Removed password mapping from the external database import. Since subscribers passwords are encrypted and they are only used internally in nuevoMailer (to log in to the subscriber portal), there is no point to import values into these.
  If for some reason you want to import passwords from your legacy database you can map them to another text field.
• Many reports and charts were refined and improved.
• Several libraries were updated.

9.5 new features

• A major change in v.9.5 is that Custom list settings were replaced by Sender profiles. These are like different sender identities with their own set of settings that can apply to your campaigns, autoresponders and opt-in forms.

• The newsletter ABC split-test chart now shows open rate and click-through rate (instead of total opens and clicks).
• Clicks to opens rate (CTOR) is now calculated a bit differently. It shows what percentage of those who opened the newsletter also clicked at least one link. So it focuses on subscribers who took both actions.
• IP geolocation extended (if you enable it). The following are recorded:
  Click/open city and country.
  Opt-in/-out city & country.

  This change was necessary to have a clearer reporting picture on real opt-outs from subscribers.
