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.

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:

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

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

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.

28-Jun-2023: REMP tools release (3.0)

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.
