I tried to test email using Preview Summary and that errors out with
Server Error
while trying to load /admin/email/preview-digest.json
Error code: 500 error
My app.yml hasn’t changed. I use Mailgun, and all was well before the update.
(*) Edit: some 12 digests have gone out, but “There are 265 email jobs that failed.” Evidently the failure is sensitive to the content of the digest.
I think some data value seems to be nil or empty when it shouldn’t be - or it shouldn’t matter. Two tracebacks from the logs, one for preview and one for the sidekiq job, I think:

Just to note: my update failed when run from the browser, so I did a rebuild from the command line.
(Just in case that means this installation will somehow have got to a different place compared to one which was successfully updated. I have another forum on a different host, which was successfully updated, which isn’t failing to send emails or prepare a Preview Summary.)
I wonder if this could be a workaround: if the problem is the handling of (some) images in the digest emails, and if we’re happy to send out digests temporarily without images, we can set short email length to a very large number, so strip images from short emails will strip out all images.
Edit: no, I tried it and still the sidekiq jobs are piling up. No emails went out during the experiment, despite many jobs rerunning themselves.
