Upgrade Notes

Version 2.x breaks compatibility with version 1.x. We recommend a fresh installation to version 2.x of FileSender.

Major changes since 2.21

Execution of scripts/upgrade/database.php is not required. There are changes in the templates directory.

An update for a case that allowed a bad cache interaction on Chrome to exist in some installations #933

An update to display information on how long email bounces are kept and to allow a user an option to explicitly delete frequently used email addresses #913. A new option to disable frequent email address collection if desired #922. Command line script to export the data collected relating to a user #923.

An option to either warn or forbid during the creation of a transfer if the user has put the encryption password in the message #915.

Multibyte characters are now handled correctly in the truncation of file names in the my transfers list #919.

The recipients email address is now filled correctly for transfers created by a guest who can only "send to me" when certain configuration options are in effect. This should now happen regardless of how config.php is setup #920 There is also another explicit test and assertion to cover these cases #921

CI has been moved to using Github Actions and all non Selenium tests have been moved to executing in that environment (.github/workflows/ci.yml) #904. Some preliminary ground work was done in preparation for a Selenuim CI tunnel again #907.

An admin can now search for a transfer using partial user email address #901.

Language translations were imported from poeditor #909 #910 #935 #934. The language import script was updated to git add new files in the language directory #911.

The version of nokogiri (used for docs) was increased.

Configuration changes

A new option data_protection_user_frequent_email_address_disabled can turn off collection of frequent email addresses.

A new option upload_page_password_can_not_be_part_of_message_handling can set if including the password in the message will cause a warning or an error (or no action). The new default is a warning in this case.
