About phpList
phpList shows renewed 3.7.0 release-candidate activity after a long dormant stretch.
The feed is GitHub release tags, but the entries carry almost no detail — recent ones are just 'Release Candidate N for version 3.7.0.' After a gap stretching back to 2024, two 3.7.0 RCs landed in June 2026, signaling the project is moving toward a 3.7.0 release.
