Important changes

• ECM is fully supported by Sitecore CMS 7.5.
• Dispatch has been optimized to work with Sitecore CMS 7.5.
• A separate package for installing ECM on a CD server has been introduced to replace manual installation.
• ECM reports have been optimized for Sitecore 7.5:
  • The reports use aggregated data instead of raw data
  • All the queries are now stored in items and can be easily customized
  • All items with queries are stored under /sitecore/system/Modules/E-mail Campaign Manager/System/Queries
• The ability to send a triggered message from the CD-server in distributed environments has been added.
• The Design Importer module is not supported by Sitecore CMS 7.5 and thus can't be used with ECM 2.2.
• The Recipient Queued and Send in Progress states have been removed from the engagement plan and moved to a separate ECM storage (MongoDB collection by default).

Issues resolved

• When you deactivated a triggered message, which had been sent at least once, you would get the following error: "The campaign start date for this message is not set". This has been fixed. (4404)
