## Announcement - Zabbix 5.x maintenance for mailGraph end-of-life - mailGraph 3.x development in progress ##
_(2023/11/01)_
As per November 2023 the maintenance on mailGraph v2.x for Zabbix 5.x will stop in conjunction with the Zabbix lifecycle policy ([https://www.zabbix.com/life_cycle_and_release_policy]) as Zabbix 5 is nearing it's end of life.
In conjunction mailGraph v2.x is now frozen and I'm setting up a roadmap for mailGraph v3.x starting new development in Alfa mode as November 2023. This new code is not expected to be published until start of 2024.
Principal bug fixing on mailGraph v2.x (logic failure or similar) will continue but only for Zabbix 6.x.
I'm open to new feature requests - please raise an issue for this in this Github space.
## mailGraph v2.16 release ## ## mailGraph v2.16 release ##
_(2023/08/16)_
_This version has been verified with Zabbix 5.4 and 6.0 LTS and is expected to work with 6.4 and later (based on v2.10 testing)_
Release notes
- Adding [ACKNOWLEDGES] message information for processing in the TWIG template to allow inclusion of "Action" information in the mail messages (eg. who acknowledged/changed problem status). Refer to the Wiki "Templates" section for more detailed information.
## mailGraph v2.15 release ##
_(2023/08/16)_
_This version has been verified with Zabbix 5.4 and 6.0 LTS and is expected to work with 6.4 and later (based on v2.10 testing)_
Release notes
- Fixed issue with Zabbix 5.4.12 where parameters that are blank or zero did no longer get passed to the Javascript hence causing basic checks to fail. Javascript and parameter checks in mailGraph.php have been adjusted and optimized.
- Refactored the Javascript error handling to get rid of the "Invalid JSON offset" message and to deal with individual error conditions while presenting a better error message on the root cause of the concerning issue.
## mailGraph v2.14 release ##
_(2023/07/10)_
_This version has been verified with Zabbix 5.4 and 6.0 LTS and is expected to work with 6.4 and later (based on v2.10 testing)_
Release notes
- Adding the ability to define FROM details for the emails generated by mailGraph
- `smtp_from_address` to set the from mail address (if not set uses mailing system default). Note: obsolete `mail_from` but retained for backwards compatibility.
- `smtp_from_name` to set the name that goes with the mail address (if not set uses "mailGraph").
- Adding the ability to define REPLY_TO details for the emails generated by mailGraph
- `smtp_reply_address` to set the reply-to mail address (if not set, no reply-to will be added to the message).
- `smtp_reply_name` to set the reply-to name of the mailbox (if not set defaults to "mailGraph feedback").
- Adding a new URL for use in the template:
- `ACK_URL` points to the function in Zabbix for editing and submitting an Acknowledge statement.
## mailGraph v2.13 release ##
_(2023/07/03)_
_This version has been verified with Zabbix 5.4 and 6.0 LTS and is expected to work with 6.4 and later (based on v2.10 testing)_
Release notes
- Fixed references into Zabbix
- Trigger was missing "context" parameter
- Item was missing "context" parameter
- Problems reference to this host was not generated at all
## mailGraph v2.12 release ##
_(2023/07/02)_
_This version has been verified with Zabbix 5.4 and 6.0 LTS and is expected to work with 6.4 and later (based on v2.10 testing)_
Release notes
- Replaced Swiftmailer with PHPMailer
- Configuration option "smtp_transport" removed (using PHPMailer AutoTLS)
- Code cleanup (markup and obsolete related parts)
- Addressed any PHP message (deprecation or error) - mailGraph debug output is now "clean" in PHP 7.4.x and PHP 8.2.x
- Increased maximum number of graphs from 4 to 8
**Please consider to move to PHPMailer as soon as possible as Swiftmailer is abandoned. Installation instructions are included on the wiki.**
Principal approach: `composer require phpmailer/phpmailer`, install mailGraph v2.12 or higher.
In case Swiftmailer is no longer used elsewhere you can consider to remove this package with `swiftmailer/swiftmailer`.

## IMPORTANT NOTE for users of mailGraph v1 and Zabbix versions under 5.4 ## ## IMPORTANT NOTE for users of mailGraph v2 and older and Zabbix versions under 6.0 ##
As a result of a major functional change in Zabbix 5.4 (Screens no longer exist and are all moved into Dashboards) the mailGraph.screen macro no longer functions under Zabbix 5.4+. A code rewrite is in progress to deal with detecting the Zabbix version and to pick dashboard.get instead of screen.get as a source list for the graphs that should be included in the mail message. As per November 2023, mailGraph is no longer maintained for Zabbix 5 and older.
**v1.x is no longer supported; please upgrade to the current v2 release**
