We and a few others are still waiting for an email tracking fix that was finally identified and an update promised but it seems development has slowed or stopped on this package.
There is a version for Umbraco 8 coming, a version where you can expect with major updates and improvements - the development is in process but we want to allow this to take some time to make it "right" this time.
We are aiming towards having something out before the summer and if anyone is interested in trying out the new bits before release - let me know - markus [at sign goes here] enkelmedia.se.
It's a big task to upgrade the package and the work is progressing with some "bumps" on the road. It has also been important to make sure that we can support the upcoming .NET Core-version of Umbraco.
The release-version will not be done by the end of Q3 but hard work is put into getting it out. I still don't want to commit to a release date but I can share some of the progress with some screenshots of the progress:
Mailing list overview:
Recipient details with interaction timeline
The new responsive email editor that also can be used for transactional emails and Umbraco forms Workflows:
Analytics for sent campaigns:
I'm truly sorry for the fact that his take some time, it's hard work so I also hope that any one waiting can understand that the process is complex and time consuming.
We'll the package does not really look at if the website it self is "muli language", "multi domains" or how the site it setup.
We decided to vall our concept a "Workspace", a workspace has it's own Recipients, Lists and Campaigns. One can set permissions for Umbraco Users to access any number of Workspaces.
So in a multi domain-solution with 3 websites, there could be 2 workspaces in newsletter studio or if the same site has multiple department each department could have it own workspace.
Reg. the URLs I'm thinking that this will be a setting on each Workspace so it will be up to the administrator to set these up, I guess the default would be the URL where the package was installed.
That sound like a very good solution!
Where is the beta ; )
Will it also be possible to "select only" some of the Umbraco Member Groups to avoid that a stressed editor select "Swedish Members" and send Finnish e-mail to them that were intended for only the group "Finnish Members"?
Not sure if that would be a feature but it's totally possible to create your own provider and only show the groups that you want for a given workspace.
Option 2 -
Umbraco 8 - 1 site with updates
License for one site with an annual subscription for updates (€99 / year).
Does that mean that it is an obligation to spend €99 / year to keep the subscription up and running? Say for example I decide, that I do not want updates but need the license to stay valid. Would that be possible with this option?
Option 3 -
Umbraco 8 - 1 site without updates
License for one site with 12 months of updates included.
What happes if for example I decided after say two years that I need an Update. Is there an option of a one off upgrading or do I have to buy a new license?
We need to add a FAQ to the pricing page a soon as we can.
The first thing to notice is that this is related to the release date of the package. When you buy a license it will work forever on the current version of the package and for any version released within 12 months from your purchase.
Option 2:
This is the recommended license model to make sure you always have access to the latest updates.
It's an annual subscription of €99 per year to keep getting access to updates after the first 12 months. Each €99 will extend the access for updates within the same major with 12 months. If you decide to stop the subscription your license will work forever with the current version but it will not work if you download a update version 14 months after your last annual payment.
Options 3
You can download and run any update that is releasesed within 12 months from your purchase - if you want access to a version released 13 months after your purchase you would have to buy a new license.
Hope this made it more clear? Please don't hesitate to ask if you have further questions.
Is there anything we can do to help you to release this package for Umbraco 8?
I have done with the migration of my site from 7 to 8.2 and the only things left is literally this package, so I am willing to help in any way I can to release this package.
Umbraco 8 Support?
Hey,
Just wondering whether you have any plans and a timeframe for releasing a version supporting Umbraco v8?
Ta :) Rob
Hi Markus,
I’m shifting all 12 of my Umbraco v4 sites to v8 and they all use Newsletter Studio.
So keen to know if you have any plans and a timeframe for releasing a version supporting Umbraco v8?
Cheers, Robert
I'm interested in this too! We're trying to decide if we should start a project in 7 or 8 because we plan to use newsletter studio.
Looking to use this in Umbraco 8 as well. Hopefully we can get an answer on this!
We and a few others are still waiting for an email tracking fix that was finally identified and an update promised but it seems development has slowed or stopped on this package.
Could we all get an honest update on this package?
Is it dead?
If not:
I'm also interested in a Umbraco 8 version. Hopefully is will come soon.
Hi! The release is out, please have a look here: https://www.newsletterstudio.org/newsletter-studio-3-is-out/
@Markus, please let the community know if there will be a version for Umbraco 8.
Thanks, Lee

Hi,
Thank you @Markus!
We will start a new project in V8 and it would be great to also have Newsletter Studio!
Best regards, Pedro
Hi!
The work with the V8-version of the package is in progress, I'll post here when we're approaching some kind of beta-stage.
All the best!

Hello Markus,
I don't want to be a nuisance, but could you give us an approximate date when we can expect the V8 beta version?
Thanks for your understanding.
Best regards, Edi

Looks awesome Markus!
I'm really looking forward to this update!
A question, since I have my first multi-domain setup i V8 now.
How is Newsletter Studio handling a multi language environment when it comes to URLs and dictionary items?
Will each domain's newsletters get image paths, and tracking URLs that include the domain from the sending domain?
Or will all mails get the same base domain that the sending task uses?
Hi Kalle!
We'll the package does not really look at if the website it self is "muli language", "multi domains" or how the site it setup.

Hope this anwsers your questions =D

Hi Markus,
great News! Thanks for your effort.
I have a question regarding the licenses:
Option 2 - Umbraco 8 - 1 site with updates License for one site with an annual subscription for updates (€99 / year).
Does that mean that it is an obligation to spend €99 / year to keep the subscription up and running? Say for example I decide, that I do not want updates but need the license to stay valid. Would that be possible with this option?
Option 3 - Umbraco 8 - 1 site without updates License for one site with 12 months of updates included.
What happes if for example I decided after say two years that I need an Update. Is there an option of a one off upgrading or do I have to buy a new license?
Thanks again.

@Victorino, did you read Markus post from last night? It's just above your... ; )
Hi!
The beta was released yesterday and can be downloaded and tested - are you referring to the stable release?
The beta is fully functional so please try it out and share feedback if you find any show-stoppers for you.
Does this answer your question?
All the best!
