[ZendTo] Another new beta, plus summary of major new features

[Jules]

Hi all!

I have just released another new beta version 5.24-4.
Check out the beta page for more information at:
     zend.to/beta.php

The major new features since the last production release (5.23) are these:

* Support for "Single Sign-on" systems based on SAML, such as OAuth, 
Shibboleth and many others. This includes support for Yubikeys.
* Large files are broken into chunks as they are uploaded when creating 
a new drop-off. This works around limits on request/file size imposed by 
many network security appliances, and services such as those provided by 
Cloudflare. So if you always found that huge uploads never worked, try 
this out!
* Users can now change the number of days before a new drop-off expires. 
The admin settings provided the limits on the number they can set, and 
the default value.
* Drop-offs now expire *exactly* when they should, not the following night.
* Admin logins are now restricted to coming from your local IP subnets, 
by default. Improves security.
* If you *really* need it, you can now automatically generate a nightly 
email containing details of all the new drop-offs created in the 
previous 24 hours. You can restrict this to show only new drop-offs by 
your own users. Beware of employee privacy and data protection!

Advanced notice: Due to the significance of the features listed above, 
the next "production" release will be version 6.00.

Please do download it and give it a try!
I really need you folks to test this out for me.

Thanks!

Jules
