There’s a new version of the WordPress autoresponder plugin Broadfast. The upgrade is free for all old customers and will be sent by email.

Here are the changes:

• Attachments. Although you could upload files from the WordPress media uploader and incldue them in the mail contents, most customers preferred to have an option to send mails with “regular” attachments. So we heard you, and here you are – 1.8 has option to attach files to any message.
• Shortcodes from other plugins are now parsed in email content. Of course you should only use sane ones – javascripts for example rarely work in email.
• Uninstall feature with configuration whether to delete the data or not.
• And of course some bug fixes.

The price for new customers remains $47 one time and includes a full year of free support and upgrades.

This update comes very soon after the previous. It wasn’t planned but as we finished the new Reporting module I had to add an interface to upload modules. But of course, that’s not good enough for a new version, so here are all the new things:

1. Modules compatibility and upload interface. Now additional modules can be added to the plugin at any time.
2. Shortcodes to display “My exams” and “My certificates” outside of the wp-admin area.
3. Help page added (to be expanded)
4. Set minimum time limit between different attempt for a given exam – Intelligence module only.

The new version is free for users who purchased after January 15th 2012. Anyone else can upgrade for 40% of the regular price which currently means only $18.80.

The new Reporting module will be useful for all kind of education and training sites whose webmasters want their users to have more impressive and catching way of tracking their progress. The module can be purchased separately for $27. You need WatuPRO 3.0 or  newer to use it.

A new version of WatuPRO is now available. Here are more details:

1. WordPress shortcodes to display all exams or exam of selected category in any post or page
2. “My certificates” page for the user so they can access their certificates any time
3. The blog administrator also has “My exams” page for easier testing
4. Previous button is now optional, configurable for every test
5. Grade title and description can be included separately on the final screen
6. The usual portion of bug fixes and localization improvements

This upgrade is still free for all old customers because we released the first version of this software just an year ago. So feel free to mail me or download the latest version from the CalendarScripts Member’s area.

The safe upgrade procedure remains the same.
