    ๐Ÿš€ We've continued to prioritize the development of team-centric features in CryptPad. This release was focused on stabilizing the code for Teams and making them available to the users.

    โšก๏ธ Update notes

    ๐Ÿš€ This is a pretty basic release:

    1. stop your server โœ… 2. pull the latest source code โœ… 3. install the latest serverside dependencies with npm install โšก๏ธ 4. install the latest clientside dependencies with bower update
    2. restart your server

    โšก๏ธ Note: we've updated our Nginx configuration to fix any missing trailing slash in the URL for the newest applications: https://github.com/xwiki-labs/cryptpad/commit/d4e5b98c140c28417e008379ec7af7cdc235792b

    ๐Ÿ”‹ Features

    • You can now create Teams in CryptPad. They're available from a new Teams application and provide a full CryptDrive that can be shared between multiple users.
      • Each team has a list of members. There are currently 3 different access level for team members:
      • Members: can add, delete and edit pads from the team
      • Admins: can also invite their CryptPad friends to the team, kick members and promote members as "Admin"
      • Owners: can also promote admins as "Owner", change the team name or avatar and delete the team
      • Each team has its own storage limit (50 MB by default, the same as user accounts).
      • A chat is available to all the team members
      • Pads created from the team's drive will be stored in this drive. If they are created as owned pads, they will be ownedcc by the team.
      • You can share pads or folders from your drive with one of your teams and you can store pads or folders from your team to your personal drive.
      • Each user can be a member of up to 3 teams. A user can't create a new Team if they are already Owner of another one.
    • We've done some server improvements to save CPU usage.
    • We've also improved to the messenger module to save CPU and memory in the client.
    • ๐Ÿ‘ The support panel (administrator side) now provides more debugging information about the users who ask for help
    • A link to the new CryptPad survey (https://survey.cryptpad.fr/index.php/672782?lang=en) has been added to the user menu
