REMP Technical news

Technical announcements:

04-Sep-2024: Since REMP tools v3.9, the primary Elasticsearch version we support is v8. We made sure that there’s backwards compatibility with the v7, so you still have time to upgrade your database. The compatibility will only be enforced by the end of this year. After January 2025 the compatibility will most likely still be in place, but will not be guaranteed by us.

24-May-2024: This summer Elasticsearch will drop support for v7. We are planning to move to Elasticsearch 8. If you use Beam, plan the Elasticsearch update to end of the summer / beginning of the fall 2024. Otherwise you might not be able to update to the latest version.

22-Jan-2024: Next major CRM release (4.0) planned for second half of 2024 will raise minimum MySQL version to 8.0.31 (due to features required by our modules) and will drop support of PHP 8.1. Please plan your upgrades accordingly.

22-Jan-2024: CRM 3.0 dropped support for PHP 8.0. CRM now requires PHP 8.1 and newer.

21-Nov-2023: The latest version of CRM (2.11) is the last one to support PHP 8.0. Future versions of CRM will require PHP 8.1 at minimum.

28-Jun-2023: REMP 3.0 dropped support for Yarn 1.x. REMP now requires Yarn 2.x (or newer).

25-Oct-2024: REMP release (3.5)

Today we’re also releasing new version of REMP. In Beam, we focused on some compatibility issues with Elasticsearch 8. Campaign got first batch of accessibility improvements, more will came in the following release. And Mailer received couple of bugfixes and improvements as well, see the changelog.

The full list of changes is available here.

25-Oct-2024: CRM release (3.5)

We have new CRM release ready. The One Stop Shop mode is fairly tested and stable at this moment, but we’re still missing one important feature - B2B reverse charge mode which would allow 0% VAT purchase for the businesses within EU. We decided to hold the documentation for now and we’ll release everything together. If you would like to use OSS anyway, let us know and we’ll guide you forward.

This version brings more or less stability changes:

• Internal changes allowing us management of payment methods in the future - we’re moving CIDs from the recurrent payments to their own table. Because of this migration, we’ll need you to run payments:migrate_payment_methods command after the release to make sure everything was migrated correctly.
• Bugfixes and improvements for specific system events, we recommend you to review the changelog.

You can see the full changelog here.

20-Sep-2024: CRM release (3.4)

It took more than two months to release the new version of CRM, but we hope it was worth it. We’re working on the support for One Stop Shop mode in EU, which allows you to charge your users VAT rate dependning on their country. At the moment it’s not completely finished yet, since we still need to work on foreign B2B sales. The full support with the documentation will be available next month.

These changes forced us to do some major refactorings and they caused some breaking changes. Please go through the changelog (mainly the PaymentsModule) and verify that these changes don’t break something for you.

The noticable features of this release are:

• You can now transfer subscriptions (together with their payments and recurring payments) between two accounts.
• Localizable countries lists. You can now configure the CRM to display lists of countries in user’s language. It’s a opt-in feature, it might change in the future. You can change the setting in the CRM admin.
• Family (company) module now correctly handles recurring charges of master payments.
• VAT rates are now decimal.
• There is new trigger in scenarios which generates events before a recurrent payment’s card expiration.
• Fixed the slower performance of Login API introduced in 3.0.

You can see the full changelog here.

04-Sep-2024: REMP tools release (3.9)

We managed to successfully upgrade to Elasticsearch 8 during the summer months. The upgrade was farely easy and we only needed to follow official upgrade guide. To use the latest version of Elasticsearch, please upgrade Tracker API, Segments API, and Telegraf.

Thanks to our friends from Fatchilli, we also made changes necessary to split Campaign to the separate skeleton app in the near future. The Campaign is already extracted into its own module and we now wait for the skeleton app to be ready. Becasue of that, there are some important changes to follow/check before upgrading in the Campaign’s changelog, please make sure you read them.

The full list of changes is available here.

12-Jul-2024: REMP tools release (3.8)

In this version we bring improvements to the Mailer UI, Beam dashboard and add support for Elasticsearch 8 into the Segments and Tracker APIs. Eventhough the update is not mandatory for this release, we highly recommend to do it so you are future-proof. We remind that the Elasticsearch 8 update is imminent and should happen by the end of the summer / beginning of the fall.

• Mailer now supports full screen preview for text emails and the UI has been polished.
• Manipulation with Mailer’s newsletters have also improved.
• Chart library in Mailer was updated and the charts have now slightly improved look.
• Beam dashboard now displays percentage of mobile traffic next to the active concurrents.

Full changelog is available here.

12-Jul-2024: CRM release (3.3)

This version brins changes, that will allow us to support One Stop Shop scheme in the EU. In fact, we already support this internally and test it on our installations. If nothing special emerges, we expect to open-source the full support in the following releases. You might see stuff related to One Stop Shop in the changelog, none of it is actually live yet and we recommend not to enable it.

Apart from the One Stop Shop changes, this version includes:

• Automatic reload of configs for long-running jobs/daemons.
• Major refactor of recurrent payments charging, which allows us to add extra payment items to the recurrent payments.
  • For example, you can now add additional postal fee items to your subscriptions based on the user’s country, and this fee will be included also in the recurrent charges. This was not possible so far.
• Sales funnels now support system translations via |trans filter.
• You can now use Twig in header_block and sales_funnel_header_block config options, and for head_script in each of the sales funnels.
• We also added extra trait SalesFunnelTwigSnippetLoaderTrait that helps you loading and providing snippets into your funnels.

The rest is mainly improvements and minor fixes. You can check the full changelog here.

27-May-2024: REMP tools release (3.7)

No new features in this release, but couple of notable technical improvements:

• If you use non-zero Redis database, please read the README as one of the fixes in the RedisClientTrait are important for you.
• Mailer received application:cleanup command that removes obsolete data from the database. Please add it to your scheduled tasks to be run at least once a day.
• Mailer is now able to reload configuration on-the-fly. Up until now, workers needed to be restarted if the config changed. That’s not necessary anymore.
• There’s a new segment in Mailer called “everyone”, that should replace necessity of calling CRM to get the list of all users if you needed it.
• Tracker’s and Segment’s underlying library (Goa) was updated to the latest version. There are no visible changes.

Full changelog is available here.

24-May-2024: CRM release (3.2)

After 2 months, CRM brings some notable changes that took us some time to deliver.

• Scenarios are now capable of validate the connections. From now on, you won’t be able to save the scenario if you system detects that trigger doesn’t provide parameters required by some of the conditions down the road.
• Because of this, we added new TriggerManager to scenarios. If you implement your own triggers, please see the changelog.
• We also managed to upgrade processing of Apple’s server to server notifications. If you use AppleAppstoreModule, please see the new configuration options that are required for the module to work correctly. It’s also recommended to change notification versions from v1 to v2 in the Apple developer account settings for the app and point it to the /api/v2/apple-appstore/webhook endpoint.
• This version also brings some security and performance improvements.

We advise to review the full changelog available here.

24-Apr-2024: REMP tools release (3.6)

This release brings interesting feature in Campaign and some minor updates in other tools.

• Campaigns can now targeted based on the session referal. That means that if your visit comes from the Facebook, you now have an option to target the whole visit instead of just the first pageview.
• Mailer and Beam now refresh their configs on-the-fly, it’s not necessary to restart workers after the config change anymore.
• Mailer now supports One-Click unsubscribe according to RFC8058, see README for more information.
• Beam could be slow when displaying data tables for systems with many authors and tags. (Thanks SME.sk for debugging this)

Full changelog is available here.

13-Mar-2024: CRM release (3.1)

After 6 weeks, we have new CRM release with some notable new features:

• You can now nest segments in other segments (both in queries and UI editor). The query editor also received syntax highlighting.
• CRM now adds more complex refund process, which will be extended in the future. Refunds now direct you to the separate form and stop subscription and recurrent payment immediately.
• Any updated ActiveRow object can now provided its state before the update thanks to integrating OriginalAwareInterface.
• Global admin search can search by invoice number.
• Subscription extension can now use address as a parameter to determine when the new subscription should start.

We advise to review the full changelog available here.

23-Jan-2024: REMP tools release (3.5)

This time it’s a very minor update, since most of our efforts were directed to the CRM.

• Mailer updates some major dependencies, please check the changelog if you extend it.
• Mailer fixes memory issue on the job detail.
• Campaign fixes a bug that caused segments to be removed from the original campaign if it was copied.
• Fixed issus with HTTP 404 errors during login process in some scenarios.

We’ve also updated our skeleton apps (Mailer, Beam) to use PHP 8.2 by default. That’s the version of PHP we recommend to use from now on.

Full changelog is available here.

22-Jan-2024: CRM release (3.0)

After two months of updates and refactorings, we’re finally able to release version 3.0 of REMP CRM.

This version brings lots of internal updates and breaking changes - if you are a developer extending CRM with your own modules, please pay attention to everything marked as BREAKING and IMPORTANT within the changelog. Minimum supported version of PHP is now 8.1 and we plan to raise minimum version of MySQL in the next major release (4.0). The most cumbersome changeset of this release - PSR4 refactoring - is covered by Rector rules and the fix can be automated on your side.

Feature-wise this is a standard update release, with couple of notable ones:

• Google Play Billing payment gateway is now marked as recurrent. In order to generate past records, please run google:create-missing-recurrent.
• Google Play Billing now correctly handles “void purchase” scenario.
• Thanks to VAT change in Czechia, we were able to catch couple of edge cases related to the change.
• You can now suppress subscription end trigger in scenarios per each subscription separately. And we fixed some bugs in scenario conditions too.

Updates in the Skeleton app (https://github.com/remp2020/crm-skeleton/):

• In the base CRM skeleton app, we updated the PHP Docker image to PHP 8.2 - that is the version we currently use in production and recommend to use.
• In app/bootstrap.php change application initialization to $application = new Crm\ApplicationModule\Application\Core(dirname(__DIR__));. (namespace change)
• In bin/command.php change application initialization to $application = new Crm\ApplicationModule\Application\Core();. (namespace change)
  • This can be covered by Rector, but you might possibly want to change it manually sooner.
• In app/config.neon change definition of ConfigExtension to local_configs: Crm\ApplicationModule\Config\ConfigExtension.
  • This can be covered by Rector, but you might possibly want to change it manually sooner.
• In app/config.local.neon, if you kept the original set of populators, replace Populator with Populators within their namespaces.

You can see all of those changes commited here: https://github.com/remp2020/crm-skeleton/commit/4d115a560c0b3d6160aff8158bc38ab3a5a0d372

The full changelog is available here.

23-Nov-2023: REMP tools release (3.4)

• Thanks to contribution from @pulzarraider, Campaigns got a significant performance boost. We’ve also merged an experimental PhpRedis support, which can be enabled via .env file. We haven’t tested it in production and it doesn’t support Redis Sentinel, so use it at your own risk.
• Mailer and Campaign received some minor improvements and bugfixes.
• And we’ve also fixed a bug in SSO which caused occasional 404 after login redirects.

Full changelog is available here.

21-Nov-2023: CRM release (2.11)

This release focuses on bringing some smaller features developed to one of our clients and made available open-source.

• Users module fixes session-based bug that could appear when user switched accounts elsewhere (by having different n_token) and the first account was kept signed in in CRM.
• Google Play Billing module now correctly handles grace periods (if they’re enabled for subscription in Google Play Console).
• Admin filter can now search against Google Play order ID / Apple original transaction ID.
• Some improvements within the PrintModule, mainly possibility to differentiate which countries should only be included within the export.

Full changelog is available here.

Due to the changes in underlying framework, we were force to quickly release a hotfix for Mailer with some possibly breaking changes. See the changelog here.

03-Oct-2023: CRM release (2.10)

This release brings performance and visual improvements. The notable are:

• CRM admin now has dedicated detail (read-only) pages for subscription and payment.
• New LazyEventEmitter allows us to defer initialization of event handlers and speed up all requests to CRM. You can either replace the registration manually, or use our Rector rule to do that automatically for you.
  • In your main module classes, replace use of:

    public function registerEventHandlers(Emitter $emitter)
    

    with the replacement method:

    public function registerLazyEventHandlers(LazyEventEmitter $emitter)
    

  • Or use our newly added Rector rule: https://github.com/remp2020/crm-rector
• API logger can now log responses if necessary (custom implementation needed).

The full changelog is available here.

24-Aug-2023: REMP tools release (3.2)

Important changes:

• Added locale parameter to snippets to support different translations within one snippet.

16-Aug-2023: REMP tools hotfix release (3.1.3)

Full changelog is available here.

11-Aug-2023: REMP tools hotfix release (3.1.2)

During testing of Beam Skeleton (now with the complete Docker Compose!) we’ve found out that there are background schedules missing and couple of other minor issues. If you started to work with Beam Skeleton, please update remp/beam-module to the latest version.

We also recommend to check the updated version of Beam Skeleton, since it now provides all dependencies within Docker Compose (there’s no need to install them manually) and also testing article with example how to include JS snippet into the page and which APIs are mandatory to call when you want to use Beam.

Full changelog is available here.

25-Jul-2023: REMP tools release (3.1)

This version brings mainly stability improvements including couple of bugfixes.

The most notable feature of the release is that Mailer now has the option to notify REMP CRM that user’s mail subscription changed. This one is important for people using CRM’s user data cache (in Redis), as people’s mail subscription might be updated directly in Mailer and CRM wouldn’t know about this change. To enable this feature, register the handler to these Hermes events:

services:
	hermesWorker:
		setup:
			- add('user-subscribed', Remp\MailerModule\Hermes\NotifyCrmSubscribeUnsubscribeHandler())
			- add('user-unsubscribed', Remp\MailerModule\Hermes\NotifyCrmSubscribeUnsubscribeHandler())
			- add('user-subscribed-variant', Remp\MailerModule\Hermes\NotifyCrmSubscribeUnsubscribeHandler())
			- add('user-unsubscribed-variant', Remp\MailerModule\Hermes\NotifyCrmSubscribeUnsubscribeHandler())

The full changelog is available here.

24-Jul-2023: CRM release (2.8)

This month brings mainly usability and performance improvements within CRM:

• Getting IDs of users in bigger segments should now be less memory-heavy.
• It’s now possible for admins to reactivate recurrent payments stopped by system.
• Subsequent upgrades are now capable of upgrading any kind of subscription, even the ones with the different length.
• And more smaller improvements.

See the changelog. to see full list of changes for this version.

After couple of months of development we’re proud to release v3.0. There’s a lot going on under the hood and Beam, Campaign, and Sso are no ready to be extensible apps instead of static apps provided at the moment. We now deprecate use of remp2020/remp repository for deploys in favor of the newly created skeleton applications. We’re finalizing Beam Skeleton and the other apps will continue soon.

Please be aware that this version is a major release due to some breaking changes. Please update your Mailer skeleton application based on these changes and Yarn to v2.

24-Mar-2023: REMP tools release (2.0)

The main reason for major version is bump of the minimal version of the core dependencies. REMP tools now require PHP 8.1 and Node.js 18+ to release. The release otherwise contains performance improvements in Mailer and Beam, which will also continue in the following releases.

Please note that in order to use this version, it is expected that both mail:migrate-mail-logs-and-conversions and mail:migrate-user-subscriptions-and-variants commands introduced in the previous versions were already executed. Update to this version only if you meet the criteria.

To delete those records, please add application:audit_logs_cleanup to your scheduled tasks.

The full changelog is available here.

23-Feb-2023: REMP tools release (1.2)

Today we also bring the new version of REMP tools. In Mailer we continue with internal updates (see info about mail:migrate-user-subscriptions-and-variants) and improve tracking of subscribe sources. In Campaign the most important feature is new set of settings for the campaign allowing you to configure what happens when users clicks/closes the banner (without using the Beam segments).

Please note that this version requires you to schedule a manual migration in order to update database internals without the distruption of the system. Read the CHANGELOG’s section with mail:migrate-user-subscriptions-and-variants command execution.

The full changelog is available here.

23-Feb-2023: CRM release (2.3)

The full changelog is available here.

This took a while, but there are features to look for. This release brings support for PHP 8.1 and couple of notable features:

• Mailer now allows you to add your own variables that can be injected into the every email. See ServiceParamsProviderInterface in the Mailer’s readme file.
• Mailer also need to make a bigger data migration in this release. The process is described in changelog. It’s not blocking, but a bit time-intensive.

Please note that this version requires you to schedule a manual migration in order to update database internals without the distruption of the system. Read the CHANGELOG’s section with mail:migrate-mail-logs-and-conversions command execution.

The full changelog is available here.

11-Feb-2022: New version of CRM is available (0.38)

We pushed this release as late as possible. This might also be the last release before major update to v1.0. There are couple of important changes in this version:

• We now officialy support and recommend Redis 6.2. If you’re on the older version, you should be fine for now, but we won’t be able to test Redis 3 as we were until now.
• Users module now supports “preregistration” flow, which breaks couple of breaking changes. This flow is intended for systems with imported users, which you need to track for internal purposes, but their account shouldn’t be activated yet.
• CRM now includes partial Hungarian translation thanks to the great work of Brainsum. We hope to cover more of this translation in the following weeks and months.
• Stats in the scenario builder have been refreshed and are now much more usable than before.

You can check the full changelog here.

• Mailer’s subscribe API now accepts variant_code when manipulating the subscription.

And numerous fixes and optimizations. Head to the changelog to see all of the changes in this version and don’t forget to also update your Tracker and Segment API binaries (available here).

This version brings support for upgrade of subsequent subscriptions if they have same subscription type as upgraded subscription.
  • This feature is not enabled by default and you need to enable it manually. See README for more information.
