  1. WP-EMail 3.0.0Latest

    • FIXED: Uninstalling left one flood record behind per address that had sent recently. They expire on their own, but until they did the site was still counting down a cooldown for a plugin that was no longer installed
    • FIXED: Every render of the form minted a ten-minute verification challenge, and rendering it is free and needs no account — so a request loop grew wp_options by two rows a time with nothing to stop it. A visitor may now hold ten live challenges at once, which is far more than anyone with several ta…
    • FIXED: The reverse-DNS lookup for the log ran once per recipient rather than once per send, so the default maximum of five multiplied a blocking call — whose duration is chosen by whoever owns the address’s reverse zone — by five
    • FIXED: The endpoint checked only that a post was published, so any published post of a non-public post type — a reusable block, a template, a plugin’s private records — could be mailed to an address of the sender’s choosing by an anonymous visitor, with its title coming back in the response. The po…
    • FIXED: The flood interval was a read of the log followed, much later, by a write, so requests arriving together all decided they were clear and all sent — it bounded a polite sender and did nothing to a parallel one. The slot is claimed before anything is sent, and an attempt counts whether or not…
    • FIXED: Image verification failed open. With the setting on and GD missing — the state a host lands in after a PHP upgrade — the check was skipped entirely and the form’s only anti-automation control disappeared with nothing to say so. The form now refuses to submit until an administrator turns it o…
    • FIXED: The verification image was 55×15, one call to the built-in GD font at a fixed pitch from a fixed origin, no noise and no distortion, which made it readable by thirty-odd reference bitmaps and a per-cell crop. Each character is now drawn, rotated and placed on its own, over speckle and throug…
    • FIXED: The name, address and header-token checks ran only when the matching field was switched on — so turning a field off turned its validation off with it, while the value was still read and still used. A submission does not have to come from the form; the checks are unconditional now, and only “…
    • BREAKING: WordPress 6.8 and PHP 8.2 are now the minimum. A site on anything older will not be offered this update at all.
    • BREAKING: The email_form-fieldvalues filter is renamed wp_email_form_field_values. There is no compatibility shim.
    • BREAKING: The eighteen wp_options rows the plugin used are consolidated into wp_email_options and wp_email_version. Your settings are migrated automatically on upgrade and the old rows are deleted.
    • BREAKING: WP-EMail’s three checkboxes on the WP-Stats options screen become one setting on its own settings screen, and the shared stats_display and stats_mostlimit rows are no longer read. Update all seven WP-Stats plugins together.
    • BREAKING: EMAIL_SHOW_REMARKS is renamed WP_EMAIL_SHOW_REMARKS.
    • BREAKING: The settings screen moves from ?page=wp-email-options to ?page=wp-email-settings and is gated on manage_options; the logs screen keeps manage_email.
    • BREAKING: email_wpstats_instance(), email_page_admin_general_stats(), email_page_admin_most_stats(), email_page_general_stats() and email_page_most_stats() are removed, along with the global email_popup() in JavaScript.
    • BREAKING: The E-Mail Icon setting and the two bundled GIFs are gone, replaced by one inline SVG. A custom link template using %EMAIL_ICON_URL% is rewritten to %EMAIL_ICON% automatically, the whole <img> at a time where it sat in one.
    • BREAKING: The E-Mail Text Link For Post, E-Mail Text Link For Page and E-Mail Text Link Style settings are removed, and %EMAIL_TEXT% with them. The link is one HTML template, migrated from whatever those three said. The first two parameters of email_link() are accepted and ignored.
    • BREAKING: %EMAIL_POPUP% is now the value of a data-wp-email-popup attribute rather than the whole attribute, because a bare variable in attribute position did not survive the sanitizer.
    • NEW: A %POST_TYPE% link variable, which becomes the post type’s singular label — Post, Page, or a custom type’s own.
    • CHANGED: The settings screen is two tabs, Settings and Templates, rather than one page with the eight templates several screenfuls down.
    • BREAKING: The plugin no longer loads email-css.css from your theme directory.
    • NEW: Restructured into includes/class-wp-email-*.php. The template tags — email_link(), get_emails(), get_mostemailed() and the rest — keep their names and signatures.
    • NEW: The settings screen is built on the WordPress Settings API, and the e-mail log is a standard admin list table with sortable columns and a per-page screen option.
    • NEW: Image verification no longer uses PHP sessions. Sessions are unavailable behind most page caches and on a lot of hosting, which made verification fail outright; the challenge now lives in a short-lived transient issued per form. If your server has no GD library the option is shown as unavailab…
    • NEW: A wp_email_capability filter for handing either screen to a capability of your own.
    • NEW: The e-mail table gained indexes on the post ID, status and IP columns.
    • NEW: Added a PHPUnit test suite, a Vitest suite for the JavaScript, and GitHub Actions CI.
    • CHANGED: Proxy headers such as X-Forwarded-For are no longer trusted by default, because trusting them let anyone bypass the interval between e-mails. Sites behind Cloudflare or another reverse proxy must opt in via the Header That Contains The IP setting, the WP_EMAIL_TRUST_PROXY constant, or the…
    • CHANGED: The JavaScript was rewritten without jQuery, moved to js/, and every inline onclick is gone.
    • CHANGED: The two envelope images and the loading GIF are replaced by one inline SVG and a CSS spinner, so the plugin ships no images at all.
