Changes since 7.x-2.0-alpha2:

First release of the new 7.x-2.x branch, which is a complete rewrite featuring a new module architecture allowing for general API usage and submodules for specific uses cases, performance improvements, and new features. Leverages Entity API and core entities for creating and managing lists and users, caches all data from the MC API, and uses the batch API for async list management.

A complete rewrite featuring a new module architecture allowing for general API usage and submodules for specific uses cases, performance improvements, and new features. Leverages Entity API and core entities for creating and managing lists and users. Early in development and not ready for production, but early feedback and suggestions welcome.

This release is focused on bug fixes (lots of them!) and some minor improvements.

• #744030: patch for not everything is a "newsletter" by bocaj: Changing messaging for use case when not a newsletter.

Sorry for quick second release, I left a stupid bug in place in 6.x-2.1, #939378: Warning when subscribing.

Initial Drupal 7 port. This is not well tested, may not work at all, use at your own risk, etc...

If you need this for your D7 site, please help by testing and submitting patches.

Aside from many bug fixes, this release features API based login rather than username and password, introduces batch cron processing, and individual blocks for each list. Overall, there are many new features and improvements, some of them from the community. Thanks for the help! After all of this gets a good round of testing, I think we're ready for to remove the RC label and create an official 2.0 release. Just in time to start the D7 port ...

User registration was not working correctly in some cases when newsletters were included, #650974: Subscribe on user registration page cause registration to fail

* Fixes list now showing for users when allowed for some of their roles but not others. #608962: lists not showing up on user edit form, unless *all* of a user's roles may subscribe

Fixes fatal error when enabling block, #606930: Enabling block leads to WSOD

handle case where an admin is editing or creating a user

Fixed a bug where the required lists were not being returned correctly and syncing required lists via cron now works.

This release includes a MAJOR overhaul of how list data is stored. Previously, there was a variable used for each list and for each setting, and every time we needed to get the available MC lists, we had to query mailchimp. With the new approach all saved lists are stored as an array of objects in the variables table, making them easily accessible and easier to work with.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Settings from previous versions are not carried over and will need to be reapplied on the mailchimp configuration page. Sorry, happy to take suggestions on how I can migrate them.

• the module was incorrectly handling the use case when an email address was updated. It was unsubscribing a user / then resubscribing with the new address, and this may be behind #527964: hook_user is subscribe/unsubscribe users accidentally
• functional separation for required lists. Users subscribed to required lists are added/updated/removed in hook_user during insert, update, or delete operations. Non-required lists are maintained when the profile form is submitted, using form_alter.
• added hook_perm instead of relying on administer site configuration.
• complete refactoring of how the stand alone subscribe form works, including addressing the problem with interest groups, #567384
• checking for tempty token array, #558220: Warning messagem on 6.x-2.x-dev
• added a basic block to display all available lists for a given user
  

This release incorporates the latest version of the MC API PHP class (v 1.2) and begins to fundamentally restructure the code base, moving away from hook_user to resolve #527964: hook_user is subscribe/unsubscribe users accidentally and other issues.

Seems time for a stable 1.0 release in the 6.x branch. No feature changes, just a code migration and some bug fixes.

First official 2.0 release:
# Update to version 1.1 of the MailChimp API
# Hide list setting form and show error message when there are no lists available
# Reorganizing some of the forms
# splitting out the bio module integration into a separate module
# reset mailchimp account settings
# other misc fixes.

Probably time for a 1.0 release since no new issues have come up.

• MCAPI class updated to the 1.0 version of the API. New API URL and the addition of several methods.
• Fixed issue with too many unsubscribe notices being sent on change, added descriptions to lists, fixed bug where mailchimp was being contacted too often. Cleaned up settings page and provided error message when username/password is wrong.
