Hey HN, I wanted to share the latest release of Dittofeed we’ve been working on, v0.14.0. For those who aren't familiar, Dittofeed is an open-source, MIT-licensed alternative to customer engagement platforms like Customer.io and Klaviyo. This release brings significant improvements to Dittofeed:

- *Helm Chart*: We've added a Helm chart for easy installation on Kubernetes. Several teams are already using it in production.

- *Manual Segments*: Create segments based on a hardcoded list of users, great for targeting based on external data or analysis.

- *Email Attachments*: We've added support for email attachments, enhancing email campaign capabilities.

- *Performance Enhancements*: Significant improvements include an optimization to our segmentation engine, resulting in a 50% reduction in compute times!

- *Webhook and SMS Broadcasts*: Send one-off messages to external APIs and SMS providers.

- *Random Bucket Segment Type*: Useful for testing new journey paths or A/B testing.

- *Synchronize Properties in Webhook Nodes*: Safely retrieve and use data from your own APIs in your journeys.

- *Improved Admin APIs*: Extended APIs allow developers to programmatically read and update journeys, segments, and user properties.

- *HyperDX Integration*: Added support for correlating logs and traces with HyperDX via OpenTelemetry.
