IPS rejected it because of an incompatibility with CIC. I'll fix that later today and resubmit.

Any word on this?

How are you doing with the update? 4.6.5.1 is out and that means we are half way through the 4.6 life cycle and no update to this app from 4.5.

Only if IPS 4.6 will be available for 4 months. 5 versions in a couple of months isn't a very common thing to see.

Yes this is true and a good point. I was just going by the number series but it does seem they are at 4.6.5 pretty fast. 4.6 has been out a couple of months now.

It's been resubmitted....

[AlexWebsites]

Has anyone updated to 4.6 with the current app? Does it work? It seems this is still not approved/updated in the marketplace.

What’s the latest on this? Still nothing in the marketplace. Is there something wrong that’s it’s not approved yet?

Not that I know of.... I think maybe Daniel is on vacation?

Probably. Today has one week exactly that no pending version is approved. Files in the widget in marketplace index now shows only files edited by the developer and files re uploaded under request, like 2 files mine.

3 more days and it’ll be a month since uploaded...will this be the week it gets released? Holding my breath and really starting to think about how much weight  I put into third party apps and plugins. Self inflicted I guess...

Mate, how long do you need to understand that the approval process it's up to the IPS and not to the dev?

I have files way more older than that, and still I'm waiting.

@Adriano FariaI'm not blaming any devs or @HeadStand,  I completely understand and am blaming the overall process. I'm keeping this issue alive because its a problem. Maybe IPS needs to add more reviewers, IDK.

However, 4.6 was out in June and most devs I believe could get early access to ensure their apps and plugins were ready for when 4.6 went live.  If community owners are using 3rd party apps and plugins that they can't upgrade when IPS releases an official (not beta or RC version), it's a problem. 3rd party app and plugin updates IMHO should be ready not far along after official releases of the IPS suite.

Keep in mind version numbers aren't base 10 decimals. It's entirely possible we could see 4.6.206 if they keep issuing bugfix releases at the current rate. :P

@HeadStand, something odd might be going on in the backend. I just logged into the Marketplace through my Admin dashboard, and using the search function there doesn't turn up Newsletters at all.

Possibly, because I’m seeing other apps and plug-ins releasing updates this week to 4.6 and general updates, so IPS is obviously approving them and not on vacation.

@John T Davis are you referring to the marketplace via ACP panel? I thought you were referring to a marketplace dev dashboard or something else. In 4.5 it does come up on my end when searching "newsletters" but not "newsletter". It doesn't come up in 4.6 because its not tagged as compatible yet:

Yeah. I was referring to the ACP Marketplace. :)

• Tested for 4.6 compatibility
• Open Rate is now included when viewing newsletter back issues
• Option to include guest content (disabled by default)
• Fixed an issue where users who manually subscribed but opted out of emails did not receive the newsletter
• Removed extra line break from some templates

So one month has gone by since initial submission of the update to 4.6, I guess we'll wait and see through another weekend... What are the chances it gets released next week? Wait, I said that to myself three Fridays in a row already...Anyone want to share some transparency on what's holding this up?

It has held me off ordering the plugin since upgrading to 4.6, I've been ready to purchase since the day I upgraded our community.

[AlexWebsites]

It looks like it’s released this morning…Hallelujah! Thank you @HeadStand

Thank you everyone for your patience. That was more painful than it should have been. 😞

Congratulations! 

I hope future updates are less stressful for you. That didn't seem to be any fun at all.

Is the open rate data new this release? Or did I just not realize that was available before?

Hi @HeadStand
