Hello 2.2.1: the newsletter plugin for Geeklog is back

More than a decade after its original introduction, Hello, one of the most complete newsletter plugins ever developed for Geeklog, is finally back with a modernized version designed for Geeklog 2.1.1 through 2.2.2.

The plugin is now maintained on GitHub in the Geeklog-Plugins organization and is available here:

Download and follow Hello on GitHub

The first Hello announcement on Geeklog.net dates back to November 2013, when the plugin was introduced for Geeklog 2.0. The downloadable Hello 2.1 package from that period already allowed administrators to create and send HTML emails to groups, while providing a plain-text alternative for mail clients that did not support HTML. (Geeklog)

Today, Hello 2.2.1 brings that concept up to date with improved deliverability, campaign statistics, click and open tracking, safer unsubscribe handling, throttled sending and a substantially improved digest system. The current code officially targets Geeklog 2.1.1–2.2.2 and PHP 5.6–8.x, according to the project documentation.
