Goals

This is a small release, focused on bug fixes and UI improvements, while we’re finalizing bigger team-centric features planned for the next release.

Update notes

This is a pretty basic release:

1. stop your server
2. pull the latest source code
3. restart your server

Features

• Media elements (images, videos, pdf, etc.) will now display a placeholder while they’re being downloaded and decrypted.
• Media elements deleted from the server by their owner will now display a “broken/missing” image.
• The “auto-close brackets” option in the Code and Slide applications can now be disabled from the user settings.
• “Add item” and “Add board” buttons in Kanban have been moved to improve usability with small screens.
• The “transfer ownership” feature for pads has been extended to shared folders. It is now possible to offer ownership of a shared folder to a friend.
• For administrators
  • Better sorting of support tickets in the administration panel. Unanswered messages will be displayed first.
  • Add team configuration options in customize/application_config.js
    • maxTeamsSlots defines the maximum number of teams a user can join (default is 3). Teams may significantly increase the loading time of pages and we consider 3 to be a good balance between usability and performances.
    • maxOwnedTeams defines the number of teams a user can own (default is 1). This number prevent users to create many teams only to increase their storage limit.

Bug fixes

• The “pad creation modal” (Ctrl+E) is now working everywhere in the drive.
• We’ve fixed the share button for unregistered users (https://github.com/xwiki-labs/cryptpad/issues/457).
• We’ve fixed an issue with newly created kanban items replacing existing ones.
• Transfering/offering pad ownership from a team to yourself is now working properly.
