CryptPad v3.8.0 Release Notes

  • We had some trouble finding an extinct animal whose name started with "I", and we had to resort to using a scientific name.
    🚀 Despite this long name, this was a very short release cycle.
    🚀 It's the last release of 2019, so we hope you like it!

    Goals

    🚀 During this release cycle we prioritized the mitigation of some social abuse vectors and the ability to invite users to a team via a link.
    🚀 We have more improvements planned for both features, but we wanted to release what we had before the end of the year as our team is taking a little time off to recharge for 2020.

    ⚡️ Update notes

    🚀 This is a small and simple release. We made a very minor improvement to the server which will require a restart, but everything will still work if you choose not to.

    ⚡️ Update from 3.7.0 to 3.8.0 with the following procedure:

    1. Take your server down ✅ 2. Get the latest code with git pull origin master
    2. Bring your server back up

    Or if you've set up your admin interface:

    ✅ 1. Pull the latest code

    1. Click the admin panel's "Flush cache" button
