⬆️ IMPORTANT UPGRADE NOTES:
🚀 This release of Helpy includes a change to the way file attachments are handled. Previous versions used a default "whitelist" of file types where were allowed and was generally limited to the most common image and doc foramts.
🔧 This version adds configuration settings which can be modified by API that allow you to set your own whitelist of filetypes which should be allowed, or a blacklist of filetypes that should be rejected. In addition, the default whitelist has been removed, and Helpy now ships with a short blacklist of files that could be considered "risky." Files with these extensions are blacklisted by default:
'''ade, adp, apk, appx, appxbundle, bat, cab, chm, cmd, com, cpl, dll, dmg, exe, hta, ins, isp, iso, jar, js, jse, lib,
lnk, mde, msc, msi, msix, msixbundle, msp, mst, nsh, pif, ps1, scr, sct, .shb, sys, vb, vbe, vbs, vxd, wsc, wsf, wsh'''NOTE: Do not provide values for both blacklist and whitelist, as they will conflict and it will be impossible for customers to attach files.
