Changelog | Groundhogg™

Groundhogg 4.10

1 release

4.10 October 21, 2026

ADDED Interface themes. Choose Light, Paper, Slate (dark) or Midnight (dark) for the way the admin looks, or keep the default. A theme is saved per user, and only changes colors, not how anything works.
- Pick a theme with swatches on your user profile, from the new Look step of the guided setup, or in the command palette.
- Tables, forms, tabs, modals, notices, tooltips, pickers, the flow editor, the text editors and the email editor are styled for each theme. The email in the editor stays white, as it will look.
- Delete, trash and spam row actions in list tables show in a danger color, and the loading spinners are new animated ones.
ADDED A mobile web app that can be installed on a phone. Look up contacts, call, text or email them, work through your tasks, add notes, fill out forms for a contact and read and reply to messages, all from a screen made for phones. Open it from the new Mobile app tab in Tools, which has a QR code, or from the link on the dashboard. It only shows what the person using it is allowed to do, and add-ons can add their own screens to it.
ADDED A recommendation on the dashboard and in the last step of the guided setup, and a new AI agent tab in Tools, for connecting an AI agent. It installs the MCP Adapter plugin, creates an application password for you, and has setup steps for ChatGPT, Claude, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI and VS Code, and for custom connectors. Only offered on WordPress 6.9 and later to people who can manage options.
ADDED Settings, the tabs of admin pages and the interface themes can be found in the WordPress command palette, opened with Ctrl or Cmd + K, on WordPress 7.0 and later.
IMPROVED Admin pages are easier to use on phones. The header no longer sticks to the top, pages have a gutter, forms that sit beside a table, like tags and campaigns, stack, modals use the width of the screen, and the buttons around a table are tidier.
TWEAKED The REST API documentation recommends application passwords, and API keys are deprecated.
FIXED The link color, font and other text styles of a text block weren't applied to what a replacement code adds, like the links of {files}. They are now added to it as inline styles, so email clients that drop the styles in an email's head show them. Emails saved with a replacement code before this need to be saved in the editor once to get them.
FIXED Asking the REST API for a single form by its ID caused an error. It now returns the form, as long as it is active. A PHP warning that DOING_GROUNDHOGG_REST_REQUEST was already defined, when the API loaded more than once, is gone.
FIXED The contacts by country, lead source and source page reports counted every contact, not only the ones created in the date range, and logged a notice.
FIXED The contact editor ended in a fatal error on a server whose time zone data lists a time zone that it then doesn't know, like America/Ciudad_Juarez. That time zone is left out of the list.
FIXED The loading screen of the dashboard reports, the custom reports and bulk edit contacts stayed open when the request for what they show failed. It closes and says that it couldn't load, and bulk edit doesn't open its form without the count of the contacts that it will edit.
FIXED Incoming Messages couldn't be set up on a subsite of a multisite network that has its license on the main site. When the White Label add-on is network active and turned on, a subsite uses the licenses of the main site, which are synced and removed there.
FIXED The click listener that is added to TinyMCE replaced the setup of every editor in the admin, including the ones of other plugins and the post editor. It is only added on the pages of the plugin.
FIXED {owner_signature} logged a PHP warning for a contact that has no owner.

Groundhogg 4.9

5 releases

4.9.4 October 13, 2026

ADDED The email abilities can set an email's custom CSS, custom headers and UTM parameters when they create or update an email, and they return them when an email is read.
TWEAKED Four column layouts show as two rows of two columns on small screens, instead of a single column. Use the column padding to space them.
FIXED Emails scrolled sideways on phones in email apps that ignore the styles in an email's head, such as Gmail with a non-Google account. This includes emails that were saved before this version.
FIXED A font set for the links in a text block could break the CSS that came after it. Emails saved this way are repaired when they are sent or viewed.
FIXED The tag picker on the map step of an import failed with "Groundhogg.createState is not a function" when the admin scripts were delayed or deferred. The step now loads the script that it needs.
SECURITY Hardened how files are copied to a contact's files by imports, the REST API and webhooks. Credit: Supakiad S. (m3ez) of E-CQURITY, via Wordfence.

4.9.3 October 9, 2026

SECURITY The page for an email in a campaign's archive showed any broadcast on the site, including ones that hadn't been sent and ones in campaigns that aren't public, to anyone who knew its number. It only shows emails that have been sent and are in that campaign, and it can no longer be cached.
FIXED Files uploaded to a contact before 4.7.2 were missing from the contact's Files tab, and from {files} and the contact's downloads. 4.7.2 changed the name of the folder that a contact's files are kept in, and the files were left in the old one. They are moved to the right folder when the contact's files are asked for, when the contact's email address is changed, and when an old link to one of them is followed. Files that are in both folders are kept, and nothing is overwritten.
FIXED Opening the archive of a campaign that isn't public as someone who manages campaigns ended in a white screen. Anyone else gets a page that says it can't be found.
FIXED The flow editor couldn't add or move a step into an empty branch of a split path, random distribution, split test or evergreen sequence. It said the branch didn't exist.
FIXED The bounce check could stop moving on when 200 or more emails in the inbox were dated within the same few hours, and read the same emails every time it ran.
FIXED Setting up Incoming Messages sent an expired key when the site has an expired master license and a valid license for a single product.
FIXED Activating a license key that the site hadn't seen before logged a warning that included the key, and re-activating a key returned the license as it was before.
IMPROVED The archive pages and the preferences center, including the profile, erase and unsubscribe pages, have a new look with cards, light and dark colors that follow the visitor's setting, and a layout for small screens.
DEV New File_Box::get_legacy_upload_folder_basename() and File_Box::maybe_move_legacy_upload_folder(). get_uploads_folder() moves the files of a folder from before 4.7.2 before it gives the folder.
DEV New Rewrites::current_upload_folder_path() and Rewrites::is_in_campaign_archive().
DEV The colors of the managed pages are CSS variables that begin with --mp-, set on body.managed-page.

4.9.2 October 6, 2026

ADDED Handle Bounces Now in Settings > Email, for sites that receive bounces in an IMAP inbox. It checks the last 7 days of the inbox and shows how many emails it checked, how many contacts were marked as bounced, and what it decided for each recipient.
ADDED When contacts waiting at a deleted step are moved to another step, you can choose to run them when that step normally runs, or on a date and time.
SECURITY Messages are now deleted with their contact, and a message that is left without its contact can no longer be read by anyone. Messages left behind by contacts that were deleted before this update are no longer readable, but they aren't deleted.
SECURITY The secret that verifies incoming messages is no longer created while a request is being checked, and a secret defined with GH_INBOUND_SECRET is the only secret that's used.
FIXED Bounces in an IMAP inbox were missed when the email had been read, or was more than a day old.
- The bounce checker carries on from where it last got to instead of only looking at unread email from the last day.
- A failure with a temporary status (4.x.x), like a full mailbox, is never marked as a hard bounce, and the action in a bounce report is read in any case.
- A failure with a permanent status (5.x.x) is no longer changed into a temporary one because of what the mail server said about it.
- A bounce report without a recipient can no longer mark whichever contact is being processed as bounced.
FIXED Cancelling a broadcast, including when a segment filter fails while it's scheduling, no longer clears the cancelled events of other broadcasts and flows from the queue.
FIXED The Replies widget set to All said there was nothing to read when the newest replies were on contacts that you can't see.
FIXED A delay timer set to run on a day that none of its months have, like the 30th of February, ran on the delayed date. It now runs on the last day of the month. A step that has no time to run no longer has contacts put in it, and the reason is recorded as a failed event.
FIXED The 4.9 update added an email composed to a contact that no longer exists, or with no contact, to whichever contact was being tracked, and copied an email a second time if the update was interrupted.
FIXED Adding the activity table indexes in the 4.9 update locked the table when the server couldn't add them without blocking. It now tries again a few times, and reports the database's error if it can't. Sites that can't add indexes without blocking need to add them manually.
IMPROVED Load earlier activity in a contact's timeline keeps looking further back when a stretch of time has no activity, instead of showing nothing, and says "Beginning of contact history" when there is nothing more to load.
FIXED Load earlier messages got stuck in a conversation when a whole page of messages was written in the same second, like after emails composed before the 4.9 update were moved, or an import.
FIXED An undo or redo in the flow editor that failed partway left the flow showing only part of the change, and cleared the undo history. The flow is put back as it was, and the history is kept.
DEV The messages feed takes before_kind and before_id with before, and returns the cursor for the next page in next.
DEV Moved contacts take date and time in the deleted step choices of the flow abilities, and Funnel::resolve_deleted_step_events() takes a time timestamp for them. The outcomes include run_at.
DEV Task::process() can return null to stop for now and be picked up again on the next pass.
DEV New groundhogg/bounce_checker/manual_days and groundhogg/bounce_checker/limit filters, and Bounce_Checker::classify().
DEV New Inbound_Signature::ensure(). Inbound_Signature::secret() only reads the secret.
UPDATED The license store URL, and the store products now come from License_Manager.

4.9.1 October 2, 2026

SECURITY Hardened how contacts are linked to WordPress users and how sign-in links are created. Credit: Wordfence PRISM, via Wordfence.
- Linking a contact to a WordPress user now requires permission to edit that user.
- {auto_login_link} only creates a sign-in link in emails sent to the contact's own user account.
- Sign-in keys are always blacked out in the email log, and sensitive logs are now hidden from non-administrators.
FIXED {auto_login_link} caused a fatal error in emails composed to a contact.
FIXED The v3 REST API now checks permission to edit when creating a contact with an email address that already exists.
FIXED An email that failed to send left Groundhogg treating the rest of the request as if an email was still being sent.

4.9 October 1, 2026

ADDED Receive replies in Groundhogg. Turn on Incoming Messages in Settings > Email (needs an active Groundhogg license), then switch on "Save replies as messages" in an email's settings, and replies to it are saved to the contact who replied instead of going to your own mailbox. You can also BCC your site's private inbox address to keep a copy of emails you send from your own mailbox.
- A Messages tab in the contact record shows your conversation with each contact, the emails you've sent them and their replies, laid out like a chat. Emails you composed to contacts before this update are moved into it in the background.
- A "Replies" dashboard widget lists contacts who've replied and haven't been read yet. Open a conversation right from the dashboard to read it, reply, or mark it read or unread.
- When composing an email to a contact, choose who it's from out of your sender profiles.
ADDED A new, shorter guided setup that gets your site ready to send: your business and who emails come from (with details filled in from WooCommerce or Easy Digital Downloads), privacy, your license, receiving replies, and updates. The last step helps you get started with AI, invite your team, and add your site's users as contacts.
ADDED Flow abilities for AI assistants.
- "Get Flow", "Edit Flow", "Publish Flow Changes" and "Discard Flow Changes" abilities, so an AI assistant can read an existing flow and add, change, move, duplicate, lock or delete its steps. Changes to an active flow are staged until they're published, the same as in the flow editor.
- Segments used by the abilities can target contacts by behavior: email opens and clicks, page visits, form submissions, flow conversions, and other activity. They can also exclude another segment, and contact searches link to the matching contacts in the Contacts page.
- The simulate abilities can run against a flow's unpublished changes, so a change can be tested before it's published.
ADDED When you publish changes to a flow or activate it, you choose what happens to contacts waiting at steps you deleted: cancel their events, or move them to another step. Before, they were silently removed from the flow. Deleted steps that contacts have already been through are archived, so their history and reports still work.
TWEAKED The flow editor has been rebuilt to be much faster. Adding, moving, deleting and changing steps shows right away and saves in the background, and undo and redo now cover step settings, duplicated steps and pasted steps too.
TWEAKED If a flow or an email is changed from somewhere else while you have it open in the editor, the editor tells you and offers to reload.
TWEAKED Public form submissions are limited to 20 per form, per IP address, every 10 minutes. People who can add contacts aren't limited.
TWEAKED The send time optimization option is hidden in the broadcast scheduler for now.
- Only one person can edit a flow at a time, so two people can't overwrite each other's changes. The flow is unlocked as soon as its editor is closed.
- Duplicating a step with branches, like a Yes/No, copies the steps in its branches too, and steps copied from one flow can be pasted into another.
- Steps that other steps rely on, like the step a Reroute goes to or the step another flow's "Add to Flow" starts at, can't be deleted until those steps are changed.
- The search in the add steps panel stays while you switch between Triggers, Actions and Logic.
- The flow editor tour is written for people new to Groundhogg.
TWEAKED Faster reports, segments and contact timelines.
- Segments, reports, and contact timelines that filter activity by type or by contact and date are faster, thanks to new indexes on the activity table. Existing sites get them from a background task after updating.
- Reports and contact counts are cached, so dashboards and reports load faster.
TWEAKED Number filters in contact searches understand numbers formatted for your locale, and the flow, step and email filters can match more than one at a time.
TWEAKED Settings and integrations.
- The telemetry setting explains exactly what's shared when it's turned on.
- Groundhogg's capabilities are grouped under "Groundhogg" in the User Role Editor plugin.
- Dashboard notices and the template library load from Groundhogg's CDN, with the original servers as a fallback.
FIXED Flow triggers and timing.
- A trigger's "Can be triggered" limit, like "At most once per contact" or "Up to X times per contact in X days", was never enforced.
- When a trigger fired more than once at the same time, for example tagging several contacts at once, contacts after the first could get the first contact's details in the flow.
- Delay timers set to run on the last day of the month never ran, dates that don't exist like April 31 ran on the next month, runs on the 29th to the 31st could skip a month, and long delays could ignore which days they were allowed to run on.
- Delay timers in flows built with the abilities were titled "Wait 3 days" whatever they were set to.
FIXED Flow editor and simulator issues.
- Unsaved step settings were lost when the flow editor couldn't save, and autosave stopped after a failed save.
- The Publish Changes button stayed off when the only change to a flow was deleting steps, and deactivating a flow brought back steps deleted while it was inactive.
- The flow simulator stayed stuck loading when the contact it last simulated with had been deleted. Now it asks you to select a contact.
- The REST API's commit route for flows always returned an error, and importing a flow could interfere with flows imported before it.
- Branch, trigger and jump lines that should curve were drawn straight when the editor was scrolled.
FIXED Contact searches and counts could show out-of-date results right after a tag, activity or custom field changed, and a search combining two flow activity filters ignored the step and date range of the second one.
FIXED Email tracking and contact identification.
- The open tracking pixel was missing from HTML emails that weren't a full HTML document.
- Contacts that arrived from a link in a tracked email weren't recognized as who they are, so merge tags like {user.*} were blocked for them.
FIXED Activating a license from the guided setup or the troubleshooter failed, and the old guided setup never saved its privacy and sender settings.
FIXED Forms on pages served by a full page cache could fail to submit because of an out of date nonce.
FIXED Triggers that pass a WooCommerce order to a flow logged an "Order properties should not be accessed directly" notice on every paid order.
FIXED The query table ability returned every contact, with the wrong total, when it was given filters. It now points to the search contacts ability instead.
SECURITY Access and verification hardening.
- An account could get administrator access by posing as the Groundhogg support user when an admin turned on support access.
- Contacts created by a form submission are no longer treated as verified visitors, since anyone can submit a form.
- The privacy policy and terms links in settings are only saved as real links.
DEV The flow editor's canvas, settings panels and add steps panel are drawn in JavaScript, and edits are saved as operations through the gh_flow_operations and gh_flow_action ajax actions.
- Step types can register JavaScript settings, titles and branch previews with Funnel.registerStepType(). Funnel_Step::save(), get_posted_data(), setting_name_prefix() and setting_id_prefix() work as before. See docs/flow-architecture.md.
- Step::save() takes the settings to save, and Step::update_settings() changes some of them.
DEV Query caching and the activity table.
- Queries take a cache var, false to skip the cache or a number of seconds that results can be stale for, and the groundhogg/query/table_cache_group filter lets queries on other plugins' tables be cached. Table_Query::where() and Where::subWhere() accept a callback.
- The activity table has two new indexes, type_time_contact_idx (activity_type, timestamp, contact_id) and contact_time_idx (contact_id, timestamp, activity_type, email_id, step_id), which replaces contact_idx. New DB::index_exists(), DB::add_index_online() and DB::is_being_altered() methods.
DEV New groundhogg/email/reply_to_messages and groundhogg/inbox/address_prefix filters, and gh/v4/messages/unread and gh/v4/messages/read REST endpoints.
DEV Add-ons register their abilities on ordered actions: groundhogg/abilities/register_schema_extensions, groundhogg/abilities/register_step_types, groundhogg/abilities/register_categories and groundhogg/abilities/register_abilities, so step types see the schema extensions of every add-on. See docs/abilities-registration.md.
DEV New groundhogg/form/v2/rate_limit and groundhogg/form/v2/rate_limit_window filters for the form submission limit, 0 turns it off.
DEV The Legacy_Contact_Query class, deprecated since 3.2, has been removed.

Groundhogg 4.8

4 releases

4.8.3 September 18, 2026

ADDED Custom reports have been rebuilt for a faster, more consistent editor, with new "Table (Tags)" and "Pie Chart (Tags)" report types that group contact counts by one or more tags, with drill-down to the matching contacts.
TWEAKED Calendar date pickers have clearer hover states, greyed-out dates that are out of range, and a more interactive month picker.
FIXED Admin Notification steps could fail with a fatal error, leaving events stuck "In Progress" and sending duplicate notifications.
FIXED Groundhogg's bundled select2 replacement no longer takes over other plugins' select2 dropdowns in wp-admin.
FIXED "Translation loading for the groundhogg domain was triggered too early" notice on WordPress 6.7+, by loading the plugin textdomain before the plugin initializes.
FIXED Forms built with the "Create Flow" ability could not be submitted.
SECURITY Further hardened how contact data and email rendering are handled for visitors whose identity has not been verified. Credit: Ayukiab, via Patchstack.

4.8.2 September 16, 2026

ADDED "Add to Flow" action step, so a flow can enroll the contact in another flow (or restart the same one) at its first step or a step you choose, instead of requiring a separate manual step or automation to do it.
ADDED "Simulate Flow" and "Live Simulate Flow" abilities, so an agent can trace what a flow would do for a contact from a given step (branches taken, roughly when timers resolve) with no side effects, or actually run it for real - the same simulation the funnel editor's own "Simulate" panel uses.
ADDED "List Settings" and "Update Settings" abilities, backed by a new settings registry with JSON-schema validation, so an agent can discover and change a plugin's registered settings instead of only the objects (contacts, emails, flows, etc.) abilities already covered.
ADDED "Add Custom Field" and "Update Custom Field" abilities for creating and editing a contact's custom fields, with the same validation rules the contact editor itself uses.
ADDED A "Groundhogg Extensions" ability category: "List Extensions" to see which official add-ons are installed and licensed, "Check License" and "Activate License" to manage a license key, and "Install Extension" to remotely install and activate one - gated on WordPress's own install_plugins/activate_plugins capabilities since it installs code on the site.
ADDED "Create Tag" and "Create Campaign"/"Associate Campaign" abilities for creating tags and campaigns and attaching a campaign to other objects, rather than requiring one to already exist.
TWEAKED Dashboard widgets can now be reordered by drag-and-drop; the layout is remembered per-browser.
SECURITY Hardened handling of contact-submitted data to prevent it from being reinterpreted as active content elsewhere in the CRM. Credit: Ayukiab, via Patchstack.

4.8.1 September 14, 2026

ADDED "Create Flow" and "Activate Flow" abilities, so an AI agent can build a flow (funnel) from scratch, including branching steps, and turn it on. A new "List Step Types" ability lists the buildable step types and their settings so an agent can discover what's available before building.
ADDED "List Replacement Codes" ability for discovering the merge tags available for use in emails.
ADDED Add-ons can now register their own ability categories and abilities alongside Groundhogg's, and extend the contact and segment schemas with their own fields, so the WordPress Abilities API integration introduced in 4.8 isn't limited to what Groundhogg itself provides.
TWEAKED Email-related abilities are now named consistently around "email template" (create-email-template, update-email-template, get-email-template) instead of a mix of "email" and "email-template".
TWEAKED Ability descriptions now link out to relevant documentation for easier reference when working with an agent.

4.8 September 10, 2026

ADDED AI agents and other tools can now act on your CRM through the WordPress Abilities API: find and manage contacts and their notes, create and send saved or one-off emails, schedule and report on broadcasts, and add contacts to flows. Every ability runs through the same capability and per-object permission checks as the rest of Groundhogg. This is an early release — more abilities, including SMS, are coming in future updates.
ADDED Redesigned contact activity timeline: flow runs and browsing sessions are grouped into collapsible sections, and email opens and clicks are nested under the email they belong to.
- Failed flow events now show in the timeline along with the error that caused them.
- Filter the timeline by a specific flow, email, or broadcast, or by activity type, using the new filter picker.
- "Load earlier activity" button to page further back through a contact's history.
- Relative date headers and a date/time gutter in the timeline for easier scanning.
- The contact timeline now loads in a single request, fetched by date range instead of a fixed number of items. Refreshing and paging load only the new slice and update the view in place instead of rebuilding it.
ADDED Broadcasts now open in a month calendar instead of a table, so you can see what is going out and when at a glance. Click a broadcast for its send time, audience size, and open and click stats, with links through to its report, preview, recipients, or to cancel it.
- Click any day from today onwards to schedule a broadcast for it, with the date already filled in.
- Filter by status from the legend above the calendar: sent, sending, scheduled, pending, or cancelled.
- The month you are viewing is kept in the address bar, so leaving the page and coming back returns you to where you were.
- The previous table is still there behind the "List view" link, for searching, sorting, and bulk actions. Whichever of the two you switch to becomes your default the next time you open the page.
ADDED The Licenses settings tab now shows a notice when an installed extension has no active license or its license has expired, with a link to groundhogg.io to purchase or renew.
ADDED Contacts with no name now display a name inferred from their email address (e.g. "jane.doe@example.com" shows as "Jane Doe") in the contacts table, page title, and profile card.
TWEAKED Dropdowns in the admin now use Groundhogg's native item picker instead of the bundled select2 library, for a consistent look and a lighter page load.
SECURITY Viewing, editing, deleting, or creating a note or task now also requires access to the contact (or other object) it is attached to. Previously view_notes / view_tasks alone could expose notes and tasks on contacts a user was not otherwise permitted to see, both through the REST API and anywhere the view_note / view_task capabilities are checked.
SECURITY Links shown in the contact timeline (such as clicked email links) are validated against a scheme allowlist before rendering, and long links are truncated with hover-to-expand.
FIXED Popovers anchored to something near the right edge of the screen could extend past it. They are now kept within the viewport horizontally, as they already were vertically.
FIXED Step is_entry()/is_conversion() could trigger "Undefined property" warnings.
FIXED Broadcasts using a segment with filters from an outdated add-on could schedule duplicate emails, far more than the segment's contact count. The contact query no longer silently falls back to the legacy engine, and such broadcasts are cancelled with an error instead of scheduling.
DEV Abilities API: a first set of abilities is registered on wp_abilities_api_init, covering contacts (get, create, update, search, notes), tags, owners, custom fields, and saved searches; emails (create, list, and send saved emails, list sender profiles, send a saved or composed email to specific contacts); broadcasts (schedule to a segment with optional batching, list, cancel, read open/click report); and flows (list, add a contact or segment). Abilities live in includes/abilities/, each extending \Groundhogg\Abilities\Ability; reusable output shapes are \Groundhogg\Abilities\Schemas\Schema subclasses.
DEV Custom objects (experimental — schema and API may change): register lightweight object types with register_custom_object( $type, $args ) instead of creating a dedicated table. Each type is backed by the shared gh_objects / gh_object_meta tables and resolves through get_db(), create_object_from_type(), and the query builder like any first-party object. Extend \Groundhogg\Custom_Object for a typed runtime class. Pass 'show_in_rest' => false to skip the gh/v4/objects/{type} REST controller (CRUD, meta, relationships) and keep the type PHP-only.
DEV Contact_Query::used_legacy_fallback() exposes when a query dropped to the legacy engine; new groundhogg/contact_query/legacy_fallback action and groundhogg/contact_query/throw_on_legacy_fallback filter.
DEV view_note / view_task (and their edit/delete counterparts) now cascade into a view check on the associated object. New groundhogg/roles/note_association_cap_check_types filter controls which associated types participate (contact, deal, company by default); a type left out keeps the prior behaviour of the blanket view_notes / view_tasks capability plus author scoping.
DEV New MakeEl.Calendar month view component. Give it an array of events plus getEventDate and renderEvent and it handles the grid, per-day overflow ("+ N more"), day and event clicks, and month navigation; dayProps and eventProps add classes and attributes per cell or chip. The displayed month can be left to the component or driven from outside with the month prop and onMonthChange, which is what you want when each month's events have to be fetched. Also exported: mergeAttributes, and the date helpers toDate, startOfDay, startOfMonth, dayKey, addDays, and addMonths. enqueue_broadcast_calendar_assets() loads the broadcast calendar's own scripts and styles.
DEV gh/v4/broadcasts accepts context=embed, which leaves the email or SMS behind each broadcast out of list responses. Serializing a broadcast in full also builds and merges the whole message, which is far too expensive for a month of them at a time.
DEV Scheduling a broadcast dispatches a groundhogg/broadcast/scheduled event on document, with the new broadcast in event.detail.broadcast.
DEV admin.js no longer depends on select2. When $.fn.select2 is undefined a polyfill backed by MakeEl.ItemPicker is registered that maps the select2 options still in use (data, ajax, multiple, tags, placeholder, allowClear) and keeps the underlying <select> in sync, so .select2().on('change', ...) / .val() and form submission keep working.

ADDED When sending a test email there is now an option to copy a preview link to share with a team.
TWEAKED Emails now use a "sender profile" rather than a "from user" to enable adding custom sender profiles.

TWEAKED The "Logic" flow step subgroup has be renamed "Routing"
TWEAKED The "Smart Date Sequence" logic step has been renamed "Date Sync"
TWEAKED The "Skip" and "Loop" logic steps have been deprecated (available as legacy steps) since the Reroute step does the same thing but better.
