Swiftmailer 4.0.6 released

Swiftmailer 4.0.6 has just been released. This is a maintainance release and contains two bug fixes:

  • fixed Swift_Transport_TransportException for SMTP connection not thrown (#109)

  • fixed Message-IDs are not updated properly (#118)

You can install this new version as usual:

Swift Mailer has a blog and its own PEAR channel

Swift Mailer has been an Open-Source project for many years now, and it never had a blog. That’s fixed now!

I will use this blog to give information about the future of Swift Mailer, and all new versions of Swift Mailer will be announced here too. So, if you are a regular user of Swift Mailer, consider subscribing to the RSS feed (http://feeds.feedburner.com/SwiftMailer).

One the first announcement I want to make is the immediate availability of the Swift Mailer PEAR channel. It allows you to install Swift Mailer globally on a machine with the PEAR command line.

First, you need to register the Swift Mailer PEAR channel:

$ pear channel-discover pear.swiftmailer.org

Then, install Swift Mailer with the following command:

$ pear install swift/Swift

You can find more information about the PEAR channel at http://pear.swiftmailer.org/

Enjoy!
