Status / Known problems
Drupal 7
No known problems, pretty well coverage available. Actively supported / developed.
Drupal 6
Currently no more actively developed.
Version 6.x-0.1 is tested and works, but has this fairly important flaw: #331080: unsubscribe reverts back after cron run.
Version 6.x-2.0-dev fixes this, but requires the 6.x-2.x-dev version of Simplenews. Still very limited efficiency and doesn't scale well. Stresses cron. Further work on the API is needed #536620: Subscriber API: separate subscribers from newsletter management and allow other modules to define subscribers.
Documentation
After installing, extra options are available on the settings page for each newsletter at admin/config/services/simplenews Choose role(s) to keep synchronized with your newsletter subscriptions here. If no role is selected, the newsletter subscription works manually as normal.
Don't add manual subscribers to synced newsletters.
Credits
Initially developed for Drupal 5 by RobRoy, ported to Drupal 6 by Joachim Noreiko. Drupal 7 Port by Simplenews maintainer MD Systems (Miro Dietiker) and Montenasoft (Vladimir Mitrovic).
