4.2.5 Update Now Available

Apple Maps in Direct Mail

We wanted to squeeze in one more software update before the book is closed on 2015. Direct Mail 4.2.5 is now available to all of our users (direct download and Mac App Store). The release notes contain the full story of what’s changed, but some notable improvements include:

  • The campaign report map now uses Apple Maps instead of Google Maps. You’ll find that the map loads faster, looks better, and feels more natural on your Mac. The clustering algorithm has been improved to make it easier to see where a majority of your subscribers are located.
  • Dragging and dropping images from your web browser right into Direct Mail now works seamlessly. No need to download the images first before adding them to your message.
  • Important bugs related to cloud syncing and autoresponders have been fixed
  • Integration with Mail Designer has been improved (no more “blank” thumbnails)

Upgrading to the latest version of Direct Mail is super easy: just choose Direct Mail > Check for Software Update from the menu bar at the top of your screen. The update will be downloaded and installed automatically. If you’re using the Mac App Store version of Direct Mail, the App Store will upgrade Direct Mail for you behind the scenes.

Thank you for the valuable feedback, comments, and questions that you contributed to help make this a high-quality release! We wish everyone a Happy New Year and look forward to an exciting 2016!
