Changelog

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

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

Changed

• The icon of the extension now shows the Mail Log mark.

Fixed

• 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.
