New major version WPeMatico 2.4

We released version 2.4 of WPeMatico.

In this version there is an outstanding feature that is the new external cron process.
From now on we have deprecated the calling to the old file wpe-cron.php
We still have it to keep the compatibility backwards, but if you use external cron you would have to modify the call to the new URL that follows the WordPress standards.
We’ll keep it a few more weeks and we’ll announce in the administration screens that it will be removed.

This new process to run with cron follows strictly the WordPress standards, cancelling external calls to configuration files, improving performance and data processing for the execution of the campaigns.

So much in so little.

A major version composed of several minor versions.

Although it seems that there are no big changes because it is a major version, we have divided all the new features and fixes in several small releases.
This helps not to deal with all the changes together, reducing dramatically the error margins and the generation of bugs with their corresponding support tickets.

So many of the features listed below were added and several more that come in the following minor releases.
