uMarketingSuite 2.0 highlights
Versioning
To provide some context on the existing versions of uMarketingSuite, the latest version of uMarketingSuite 1 (currently at version 1.26.2 as of January 17, 2024) supports Umbraco versions 8 through 12, with official support for Umbraco 8 and 10 LTS. uMarketingSuite 1.26.x marks the final release in the uMarketingSuite 1 series.
As of January 16, uMarketingSuite 2 is available, introducing support for Umbraco 13 and discontinuing support for Umbraco 8. Notably, uMarketingSuite 2 is compatible with Umbraco 10 and 13, with Umbraco 11 and 12 not being officially supported.
Upgrading
For those operating Umbraco 10 sites with uMarketingSuite 1.x.x and seeking to upgrade to uMarketingSuite 2, this upgrade is entirely feasible. It is important to take note of the new configuration file, migrate configuration customizations to the new file, and, as a precautionary measure, create a backup before initiating the upgrade.
Umbraco 13 support
The release of uMarketingSuite 2 is fully compatible with Umbraco 13, unlocking the advantages offered by the latest platform.
ASP.NET Core Configuration
uMarketingSuite 2.0 is fully optimized for ASP.NET Core, bidding farewell to the traditional umarketingsuite.config file in favor of Umbraco's new configuration standards, such as the appsettings.json file. To simplify configuration, uMarketingSuite 2.0 includes a corresponding appsettings schema, offering Intellisense in all modern IDEs. This schema encompasses various configuration options, including uMarketingSuite Settings, Analytics, A/B Testing, Profiles, Reporting, and the Delivery API.
New personalization segment parameter "Registered member"
With the new segment parameter it it possible to personlize based on if the visitor is a member or not. If the visitor has logged in once then from that point on we can determine if the visitor is a registered member or not and you can use this to personalize the site to the visitor.
