Release Version 3.0.beta7

Release date: 26 April 2024.

Installation

Documentation is available at https://docs.filesender.org/filesender/v2.0/install/

Major changes for the start of the 3.x series

Please note that there are some known issues as shown on github some of which are considered blocking. As such the release is for internal consideration rather than deployment. I encourage administrators to investigate the new UI and provide feedback on existing issues and/or lodge new issues.

This should be functionally similar to release 2.48. Though the 3.0 beta 7 will have the updated UI.

See the release notes for release 2.48, release 2.47, release 2.46 for details of the functional updates.

Changes since Beta 6:

The templates directory HAS changed.
The database update script DOES need to be run since the last 3.x beta release.

The following are updates made to the UI and this series in addition to the 2.x updates

In short:

A new theme and selector were added. Some defaults have been updated to more modern settings. Time presentation can now respect the time zone the user has in their browser.
