  Please change following line in your .env file in Mailer:

  SSO_ERROR_URL=http://mailer.remp.press/sign/error
  

• [Campaign]: Some tables didn't have primary keys since creation. This was preventing migrations on the replicated instances. This release fixes the failing migration issue. f211d2c

Note: generated binaries are the same as in 0.8.1, no need to deploy them if you have 0.8.1 deployed.

0.8.1

Elasticsearch upgrade notice. We'll be raising Elasticsearch compatibility to 7.* in the beginning of 2020 to keep with the latest changes. Current implementation Segments API is tested and maintained again Elasticsearch 6.*. Please plan your upgrade accordingly.

Changelog:

• [Segments]: Fixing mapping fetching changes which was causing "include_type_name" deprecation notices since Elastic 6.8. This is to prepare to provide full compatibility for Elastic 7.* and drop compatibility promise for 6.* in the following months.

• [Beam]: Added experimental database-based dashboard data source which works with snapshot of "concurrents" data made every minute. Snapshotting is being done automatically for you against concurrents_by_browser elastic index. This should be populated by your Telegraf instance based on similar configuration.

0.8.0

Changelog:

• [Mailer]: Material checkbox was not being rendered properly in Mailer causing custom generator implementations not being able to use it.

• [Mailer]: If generated queue was too big, memory exhausted exception was possible. Pagination was added to queue generation prevent the issue.

• [Beam]: New functions for tracking commerce events were added to give caller more precise control over what is being tracked. See documentation of following methods in https://github.com/remp2020/remp/tree/master/Beam#js-tracking-interface:

  • remplib.tracker.trackCheckoutWithSource
  • remplib.tracker.trackPaymentWithSource
  • remplib.tracker.trackPurchaseWithSource
  • remplib.tracker.trackRefundWithSource

• [Beam]: In some cases, Beam's database could have been migrated with invalid default value for conversion's paid_at column. 553c2dc

• [Campaign]: New configuration options were added to append extra query parameters to banner's target URL in case target page needs to identify source page/article and referer is not enough.

  See rempConfig.campaign.bannerUrlParams object at https://github.com/remp2020/remp/tree/master/Campaign#javascript-snippet for more detailed info:

  bannerUrlParams:  {
      "foo": function() { return "bar" },
      "baz": function() { return "XXX" }
  }
  

• [Campaign]: HTML banner now supports custom JS and CSS inclusion from external sources.

0.6.1

Changelog:

• [Tracker]: New property "explicit_referer_medium" added to tracker options. It allows to specify custom referer (not based on Referer HTTP header) when tracking pageviews. The value can be utilized later, e.g. in Beam dashboard statistics.

• [Segments]: New "inverse" flag added, which allows to invert arbitrary "filter_by" condition when querying Segments API.
