[ZendTo] ANNOUNCE: Production release 5.21-1

[Jules]

Nigel,

Sorry for the delay, I've been supposedly on holiday for a week visiting 
my elderly parents in Wales, but managed to wind up in hospital (only 2 
days!) instead.

Add some over-riding CSS to /opt/zendto/www/css/local.css.
If you take a look in /opt/zendto/www/css/swish2.css, search for "logo".
There you'll find #logo and #logoxclip.
If you over-ride their definitions by adding new ones in local.css, 
those changes will survive future upgrades.

Sorry I had to mess with the logo's CSS, but space on that top line was 
getting very tight for some languages.

I have just changed the rpm and deb packages so that logo is now treated 
as a "config file" and therefore won't be overwritten in upgrades if you 
change it.

BTW what picture are you using? I would very much like to use something 
better if I can!!

Run
/opt/zendto/sbin/genCookieSecret.php
That will print out a new line that you should copy and paste into 
preferences.php to replace the existing value for that setting.

It's just that if you set an encryption passphrase when requesting a 
drop-off, that passphrase now actually has to be stored in the ZendTo 
database (until the drop-off is created, at which point the passphrase 
is wiped again).

So I needed to use a much better random number as the "shared key" for 
that encryption process.

BTW in a VMware remote console window, shift+pageup and shift+pagedown 
should still give you a fair amount of scrollback history on most 
Linuxes. Not perfect, but better than nothing. (I run a vSphere at home. 
It's a form of masochism I know... :-)

Cheers,
Jules.

'No more impressive warning can be given to those who would confine
  knowledge and rsearch to what is apparently useful, than the
  reflection that conic sections were studied for eighteen hundred
  years merely as an abstract science, without regard to any utility
  other than to satisfy the craving for knowledge on the part of
  mathematicians, and that then at the end of this long period of
  abstract study, they were found to be the necessary key with which
  to attain the knowledge of the most important laws of nature.'
