# v7.9.0 — June 2024

> Loyalife v7.9.0 significantly improves communication queue performance, adds member preferred language support, introduces data exports, and extends maker-checker to point configuration.

# v7.9.0 — June 2024

**Released:** June 2024

## Communications

### Queue Performance Optimisation

The communication queue has been significantly re-engineered:

* Payload size reduced from **17KB to 0.5–1.5KB** per job
* Redis connection pool increased from 10 to 20; swap memory and memory thresholds introduced; job persistence enabled
* A single pod can now process approximately **1 million communications** (at 100ms delay per email, \~3 days)
* **Priority delivery:** OTPs and redemption confirmations bypass the standard queue for immediate delivery

### Communication Security

* **Protected events** (OTP, forgot password, card redemption confirmation) have no preview option in the template editor
* All emails are encrypted by default
* Privacy controls apply equally to email and SMS templates

***

## Member Preferences

### Preferred Language per Member

Programs can configure a default language for member communications:

* Set at the program level for promotional and transactional templates
* Once set, the preferred language **cannot be edited or removed**
* Language can be updated for existing members via the Update Member API or CPD upload
* When a member's preferred language is not set, or a template in that language is unavailable, English is used as the fallback

***

## Data Exports

### User, Role, and Audit Trail Exports

* All users and roles are exportable globally (not program-specific)
* Audit trail data is exported program-specifically to the Administrative Data section in Reports
* Member activity logs (profile changes and member actions) are exportable at both member-specific and consolidated levels
* Access requires View permissions for the relevant module

***

## Member Search

### Custom Attribute Search

* Custom member attributes can be made searchable if *"Include in member search"* is enabled during attribute creation
* Global attributes (Relation Reference, Full Name, Email, Phone Number) are always searchable
* This setting is **immutable** once the attribute is created
* Point information has been removed from the initial member search results to improve performance

***

## Maker-Checker

### Point Configuration Approval

Point configuration changes now require maker-checker approval:

* Once enabled at program level, this **cannot be disabled**
* When multiple requests exist, the latest approved request takes precedence
* Email alerts now include point configuration change requests
* The Purchase Rate and Cashback Rate fields are removed from the edit UI (they may still appear during new program creation)

***

## CRD File Processing

* RelationReference, LastSixDigits, Status, ProgramId, and ProductCode are now mandatory fields in CRD files
* Product and sub-product codes are validated against system records
* Duplicate sub-relation references are now accepted

***

## Reports

* A new column tracks which user performed a member redemption
* Point Purchase Report has been enhanced with additional tracking fields
