Final release of OpenEMM 6.0

The final version of OpenEMM 6.0 has been released at SourceForge:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/openemm/files/OpenEMM%20software/OpenEMM%206.0

OpenEMM 6.0 offers a lot of new features and improved usability like a content management module using templates, content module types, content modules and a separate content repository, a new import wizard with import profile management, click statistics embedded in the corresponding HTML mails, login protection against hackers, several user interface improvements and Chinese language support. For the full list of features and bug fixes please have a look at file CHANGELOG.txt.

Since we fixed a lot of bugs we strongly recommend to upgrade to 6.0. But please note that OpenEMM 6.0 requires Java 6, because Java creator SUN discontinued free support for Java 5 last month.

You can upgrade from OpenEMM 5.4.x or 5.5.x using the online update feature. In any case, please read file UPDATE.txt in directory /home/openemm afterwards to finish the updates process successfully - even if no warning or error message has been reported.

Please use this entry in forum "Bugs, bug fixes & releases" for your feedback:

For serious bugs we will provide patches as soon as possible, less critical bugs will be covered with maintenance release 6.0.1 scheduled for December.

The Windows version of OpenEMM 6.0 will be released next week.
