# Alpaca release (v2.0.0)
|
|
|
|
This is the first release of our 2.0 cycle.
|
|
|
|
After careful consideration we've decided to name each release in this cycle after a cute animal, iterating through the letters of the Latin alphabet from A to Z.
|
|
|
|
## Goals
|
|
|
|
We wanted to update CryptPad's appearance once more, adopting the colors from our logo throughout more of its interface.
|
|
|
|
## Update notes
|
|
|
|
This release coincides with the introduction of new APIs in ChainPad, so we recommend that adminstrators update their clientside dependencies by running `bower update`.
|
|
|
|
As recent updates have updated serverside dependencies, we also recommend that you run `npm update` and _restart your server_.
|
|
|
|
## What's new
|
|
|
|
### For Users
|
|
|
|
* CryptPad 2.0.0 features a complete German-language translation, thanks to contributions from @polx, @kpcyrd, and @micealachman
|
|
* CryptPad has a new look!
|
|
* we've adopted the color scheme of our logo for more UI elements throughout CryptPad, on the loading screen and various dialogs
|
|
* we've customized our checkboxes and radio buttons to match
|
|
* we've updated the look of our pad creation screen to feature up to four templates per page, with tab and button navigation
|
|
* tooltips have been made to match the dialogs on our pad creation screen
|
|
* clients now store their usage of various templates in their CryptDrive, and rank templates by popularity in the pad creation screen
|
|
* we no longer show usage tips on the loading screen
|
|
* Users who visit pads which have been deleted or otherwise do not exist are now prompted to redirect to their home page
|
|
* Our poll and whiteboard apps now use an in-house CSS framework to help us maintain consistency with the other applications
|
|
|
|
### For Admins
|
|
|
|
* we've updated the example configuration file (`config.example.js`) to no longer require a leading space before the domain, as we found it to be a common source of confusion. This will only affect newly generated config files.
|
|
* our webserver has been configured to support HTTP access of the client datastore, to facilitate scripts which parse and decrypt history without having to go through our websocket infrastructure
|
|
* we no longer use a single image for our favicon and our loading screen icon, allowing admins to customize either feature of their instance independently
|
|
* We've also moved the rest of the styles for the loading screen from `/common/` into `/customize.dist/`,
|
|
* move loading screen implementation from `/common/` to `/customize.dist/`
|
|
|
|
## Bug fixes
|
|
|
|
* don't eat tab presses when focused on register button
|
|
* idempotent picker initialization
|
|
* CKEditor fixes
|
|
* drag and drop text
|
|
* media-tag movement integrated as CKEditor plugin
|
|
* avoid media-tag flicker on updates
|
|
* set content type for the 404 page
|

# 1.29.0
|
|
|
|
## Goals
|
|
|
|
For this release we wanted to direct our effort towards improving user experience issues surrounding user accounts.
|
|
|
|
## Update notes
|
|
|
|
This release features breaking changes to some clientside dependencies. Administrators must make sure to deploy the
|
|
latest server with npm update before updating your clientside dependencies with bower update.
|
|
|
|
## What's new
|
|
|
|
* newly registered users are now able to delete their accounts automatically, along with any personal
|
|
information which had been created:
|
|
* ToDo list data is automatically deleted, along with user profiles
|
|
* all of a user's owned pads are also removed immediately in their account deletion process
|
|
* users who predate account deletion will not benefit from automatic account deletion, since the server
|
|
does not have sufficient knowledge to guarantee that the information they could request to have deleted is strictly
|
|
their own. For this reason, we've started working on scripts for validating user requests, so as to enable manual
|
|
deletion by the server administrator.
|
|
* the script can be found in cryptpad/check-account-deletion.js, and it will be a part of an ongoing
|
|
effort to improve administrator tooling for situations like this
|
|
* users who have not logged in, but wish to use their drive now see a ghost icon which they can use to create pads.
|
|
We hope this makes it easier to get started as a new user.
|
|
* registered users who have saved templates in their drives can now use those templates at any time, rather than only
|
|
using them to create new pads
|
|
* we've updated our file encryption code such that it does not interfere with other scripts which may be running at
|
|
the same time (synchronous blocking, for those who are interested)
|
|
* we now validate message signatures clientside, except when they are coming from the history keeper because clients
|
|
trust that the server has already validated those signatures
|
|
|
|
## Bug fixes
|
|
|
|
* we've removed some dependencies from our home page that were introduced when we updated to use bootstrap4
|
|
* we now import fontawesome as css, and not less, which saves processing time and saves room in our localStorage cache
|
|
* templates which do not have a 'type' attribute set are migrated such that the pads which are created with their
|
|
content are valid
|
|
* thumbnail creation for pads is now disabled by default, due to poor performance
|
|
* users can enable thumbnail creation in their settings page
|
|
* we've fixed a significant bug in how our server handles checkpoints (special patches in history which contain the
|
|
entire pads content)
|
|
* it was possible for two users to independently create checkpoints in close proximity while the document was in a
|
|
forked state. New users joining while the session was in this state would get stuck on one side of the fork,
|
|
and could lose data if the users on the opposing fork overrode their changes
|
|
* we've updated our tests, which have been failing for some time because their success conditions were no longer valid
|
|
* while trying to register a previously registered user, users could cancel the prompt to login as that user.
|
|
If they did so, the registration form remained locked. This has been fixed.
