Nodemailer v3.0.0 Release Notes
Release Date: 2017-01-31 // about 7 years ago-
- Initial version of Nodemailer 3
⚡️ This update brings a lot of breaking changes:
- License changed from MIT to EUPL-1.1. This was possible as the new version of Nodemailer is a major rewrite. The features I don't have ownership for, were removed or reimplemented. If there's still some snippets in the code that have vague ownership then notify [email protected] about the conflicting code and I'll fix it.
- Requires Node.js v6+
- All templating is gone. It was too confusing to use and to be really universal a huge list of different renderers would be required. Nodemailer is about email, not about parsing different template syntaxes
- No NTLM authentication. It was too difficult to re-implement. If you still need it then it would be possible to introduce a pluggable SASL interface where you could load the NTLM module in your own code and pass it to Nodemailer. Currently this is not possible.
- OAuth2 authentication is built in and has a different configuration. You can use both user (3LO) and service (2LO) accounts to generate access tokens from Nodemailer. Additionally there's a new feature to authenticate differently for every message – useful if your application sends on behalf of different users instead of a single sender.
- 👌 Improved Calendaring. Provide an ical file to Nodemailer to send out calendar events.
And also some non-breaking changes:
- All dependencies were dropped. There is exactly 0 dependencies needed to use Nodemailer. This brings the installation time of Nodemailer from NPM down to less than 2 seconds
- Delivery status notifications added to Nodemailer
- Improved and built-in DKIM signing of messages. Previously you needed an external module for this and it did quite a lousy job with larger messages
- Stream transport to return a RFC822 formatted message as a stream. Useful if you want to use Nodemailer as a preprocessor and not for actual delivery.
- Sendmail transport built-in, no need for external transport plugin
