oemPro v3.6 Beta2 Development Update

Since a month, we are developing oemPro v3.6 Beta2 phase and it is going pretty well. We collected hundreds of feedbacks from oemPro users and now implementing most of them to Beta2 release. In v3.6 version, we are following a different way of development. We opened Beta versions to all oemPro users. This gave us a great opportunity to collect more feedbacks. We have now very valuable feedback database.

In oemPro v3.6 Beta2, addition to bug fixes, we are going to include a series of new features which I am sure you will like too much. For example, you will be able to rate your newsletter against SPAM filters and see the possible results of your campaign before sending. You will be able to calculate the estimated bandwidth required to send your newsletter. You will be able to apply sending quotas to your users based on emails per intervals or based on date and times. You will be able to track click-throughs and open rations of auto responders and opt-in/out emails. These are only a few of the new features of a big change list.

oemPro v3.6 Beta2 will be available next week. We are now fixing last a few bugs and integrate a few more features to it. Then it will be ready for beta testing.
