This is mostly a bugfix version, but we also did manage to sneak in a new feature.
✨ Send scheduled reports to specific groups [gh-521] When you set up a scheduled email task, you can (optionally) select one or more user groups to send emails to. This allows you to fine-tune who receives the emails by creating and assigning user groups.
🖥️ System Requirements
- PHP 8.1, 8.2, or 8.3. PHP 8.2 recommended.
- MySQL 5.7 or later, or MariaDB 10.3 or later. MySQL 8.0 recommended.
- Ability to run CRON jobs, either command-line (recommended) or URLs with a frequency of once every minute and an
execution time of at least 30 seconds (up to 180 seconds is strongly preferred). - Obviously, the server it runs on must be connected to the Internet, so it can communicate with your sites.
🔮 What's coming next?
Development of Akeeba Panopticon takes place in public. You can see what we're planning, thinking of, and working on in our issues tracker.
Kindly remember that the order and timeframe for implementation largely depends on our available time, our assessment of expected complexity, and interdependencies between features. Security issues and bugs always take priority over new features; there's no point polishing a broken glass. Thank you for your understanding!
