Refactored Optin Status - 2020-02-12

In version 2.1.13 of Groundhogg, the contact optin status integer value is being refactored.

Beyond 2.1.13, the optin_status will be a value between 1 and 8, rather than the old 0 and 7.

This is because of the way PHP treats empty values and the parsing of data, maintaining compatibility for the 0 value optin status (unconfirmed) is a hindrance to development.

The new optin status integer values are as follows.

1 — Unconfirmed
2 — Confirmed
3 — Unsubscribed
4 — Weekly
5 — Monthly
6 — Bounced
7 — Spam
8 — Complained

When updating to 2.1.13 the current optin statuses of all contacts will be automatically upgraded.
