Changelog

Deutsche Fassung

This changelog lists every released version of Mail Log, the most recent first.

This page is generated automatically from the product's changelog file when a release is made. Changes made by hand are lost at the next synchronisation.

Version 1.0.5 – 16 August 2026

Fixed

The links in the overview panel always led to the German manual. They now follow the configured language.

Version 1.0.4 – 12 August 2026

Changed

  • The installation details of the three parts were cleared of entries that had no effect, so that the package passes the review of the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

Fixed

  • An English message in the overview ended with a superfluous space.

Version 1.0.3 – 1 August 2026

Changed

  • The package and its three parts now carry meaningful names in the extension manager; technical abbreviations stood there before.

Version 1.0.2 – 31 July 2026

Added

  • Emails from command line and scheduler runs are logged; nothing was captured there before.
  • The option "logged contexts" now actually takes effect. With no selection, every context is still logged.
  • The list points out entries from earlier versions that cannot contain a message text, and links them for deletion.

Changed

  • Downloading the raw message now additionally requires the permission "view message text". Groups without it lose the download; super users are not affected.
  • New installations log completely out of the box: full message text, raw message and mails with a sensitive subject as well. Existing installations keep their settings.

Fixed

  • The message text of logged emails always stayed empty. It is captured again, as are attachments, reply-to, headers and the error message of failed deliveries.
  • Resending from the log works again — without a stored message text it was not possible.
  • With encrypted storage the masking patterns for sensitive content never took effect. Masking now happens before encrypting.
  • On fresh installations nothing was masked although the options showed two masking patterns as active.
  • The detection of HTML messages now also covers multipart messages and a plain-text alternative that has been set.
  • With a truncated message text stored, the detail view did not show the original size.
  • Saving the options made attachments from versions before 0.1.0 inaccessible because their storage location was lost.
  • The options button appeared for groups without the necessary permission and refused the click.

Version 1.0.1 – 31 July 2026

Added

  • After an installation or update an overview panel appears with version, status and entry points to getting started, download key and manual.
  • A click on "Enable updates" leads straight to the update sites, already filtered to missing download keys.
  • The extension manager now shows the list of changes behind the version number.

Language

  • The messages shown during installation and update are available in German and English.

Version 1.0.0 – 20 July 2026

ChangedAdded

  • TheInitial icon of the extension now shows the Mail Log mark.release.

Fixed

Deutsche

    The main entry in the administration menu had no icon.

    Notes

      First stable release. The functional state of 0.1.2, hardened by the audit of the 0.1.x series.

      Version 0.1.2 – 20 July 2026

      Fixed

        Scheduler tasks showed raw text keys instead of title and description in the selection dialogue. The notice about truncated storage named a placeholder instead of the configured size. An outdated description of the encryption field in the options was removed.

        Version 0.1.1 – 17 July 2026

        Fixed

          Version 0.1.0 would never have found updates: the update address was wrong and the download key was not passed.

          Version 0.1.0 – 17 July 2026

          Security

            The CSV export is hardened against injected spreadsheet formulas. The key for the encryption is no longer held in the database. Entries encrypted with the old method stay readable and are re-encrypted by a task. Attachments now live outside the web directory. Existing files stay reachable; a task moves them. Privacy out of the box: only an excerpt of the message text is stored, the raw message not at all, and password mails no longer end up in plain text. A failed log write is now reported instead of being passed over silently.

            Changed

              Lists, dashboard and statistics are noticeably faster.

              Fixed

                "Resend" and "delete demo data" work again. The CSV export contains all filtered entries instead of only the first page, and is gentle on memory. The sending limit for resending now takes effect reliably. The statistics task produced superfluous duplicate entries.

                Language

                  All messages are available in German and English.

                  Notes

                    After the update, run the tasks for re-encrypting and for moving the attachments once, until no remainders are reported. If the Joomla secret is changed, encrypted entries can no longer be read.

                    Version 0.0.24 – 20 April 2026

                    Notes

                      The last state before the overhaul. Fassung
