xF2 Add-on [DBTech] DragonByte Mail 4.6.2

Update highlights

This version resolves an issue with the Digest Email cron job in which it could trigger an error when sending the digest depending on what settings were enabled. Attempting to resume the job (from it sending to too many users) would trigger the error in question.

Fix: Fix potential server errors when viewing certain pages
Fix: Fix Digest causing server error if the global digest section was enabled

Update highlights

This version restores the Digest feature.

Firstly, I want to apologise for how this happened and how I handled this. I did not adequately communicate my plans to remove this feature, and as a result I did not give people a chance to voice their feedback. I arrogantly assumed that people used Digests in an entirely different way (as a way to bring back old, lapsed users), and I did not consider that people might have purchased Mail exclusively for this feature.

To everyone affected by this: I'm sorry. I will do better in the future.
Going forward, if I ever think a XenForo feature supersedes an add-on feature, I will post my plans to remove the feature as an update in the resource @ XenForo.com.

Secondly, I'd like to share the roadmap for the Digest feature going forward.
Beta 1: Restoration of the Digest feature as it was in v4.4
Beta 2: Replace the current "Content type" sections with a custom implementation of the Activity Summary sections
Beta 3: Address feedback with the new "Content type" sections

The reason for replacing the existing "Content type" section with an implementation of "Activity Summary" sections is that not only will it better support core XenForo / official add-ons, but other 3rd party add-ons will likely add support for the "Activity Summary" feature going forward. Being able to automatically support this in DB Mail would be a net benefit.

Unfortunately I cannot give an ETA for when Beta 2+ will be released, since it's going to be a significant amount of work.

Update highlights

This version refines the navbar integration by adding FontAwesome icons for menu entries when positioned in the right-side menu, as well as adding the ability to disable the text. Lastly, the HTML has been updated to better blend in with other right-side navbar items.

This has been tested on a limited number of custom skins. If you encounter any problems with the right-side menu after installing this update, please report it to the developer of your custom skin and ask them to get in touch with us to notify us of any changes we need to make.

Update highlights

This update adds the ability to override the email transport to the Digest feature. Previously, you could only override the email transport for Newsletters, but it was rightly pointed out that Digests are bulk emails too, and it might be wise to allow it to be overridden as well.
