Version 5.0 Client Beta (Dec 21, 2022)

XMPL V5.0 is currently in beta.

The main benefit of XMPL Client V5.0 is that this library can work in any JavaScript library including Angular and React.

XMPL Client V5.0 works with XMPL server V3.3 and later. However, it is recommended to use the latest version. Please contact XMPie Support to upgrade if you are on an earlier version.

There are slight differences in the syntax of the new XMPL library. Since the new library works with modern technologies, you will benefit by creating your new websites using XMPL Client V5.0.

Version 3.0 Server and Client (Dec 25, 2018)
  1. Added: XMPL Server & Client 3.0, together with Circle 4.7, support SecURL which offers user authentication in personalized URLs. When the recipient attempts to access a PURL, he/she is prompted to sign in and provide user authentication. This protects unauthorized users from accessing private recipient information which is stored in ADORs. SecURL is implemented on a project level, and affects both managed and custom websites.
    SecURL is not supported in Template-Instance and Campaign-on-Demand (uStore).
