Goals

This release is aimed at instance administrators with new features and changes in the way CryptPad is installed. This marks a major release and we are also taking the opportunity to change the way we number CryptPad versions, moving to a date-based format (from semver to calver). For full details on the reasons behind this change please read our March 2024 status blog post. The short version is that this is our Spring 2024 release with number 2024.3.0 and that we are aiming for the following schedule going forward, sticking to the YYYY.MM.micro format:

• 💐 Spring 2024.3.0
• 🌻 Summer 2024.6.0 end June 2024
• 🍁 Autumn 2024.9.0 end September 2024
• ❄️ Winter 2024.12.0 end December 2024

Dependencies

OnlyOffice

• OnlyOffice is now a separate module #1435
  • avoids having compiled binaries in the main code repository
  • first step towards new instances only downloading the current version + any future updates (i.e. avoiding 1.7GB of historical OnlyOffice versions they will never use).

Starting with this version, OnlyOffice applications (Sheets, Document, Presentation) are not bundled with CryptPad anymore. You can install/update them by running the installation script we provide:

./install-onlyoffice.sh
# press q to close the license screen
# and Y ⏎ to accept the OnlyOffice license

For Docker users that want to use OnlyOffice, please read our updated Docker installation guide.
