Hi folks!<br>
<br>
Major new release today. Version 6.0 has landed.<br>
<br>
The major features since version 5.23 are:<br>
<br>
* Login via OAuth, Yubikeys etc with SAML-based authentication.<br>
* Uploaded files are now sent in small chunks ('maxChunkSize'),
and are automatically retried on failure, to attempt to avoid
problems with network security appliances and the Great Firewall of
China.<br>
* Recipients can be made to read and acknowledge some legal text
(or instructions) before being able to download files.<br>
* Users can set the lifetime of a drop-off (within limits)
allowing much shorter-lived drop-offs for sensitive data.<br>
* Now ships in 13 languages.<br>
* Improved automation ability with new "autolist" command that
dumps all drop-off metadata as JSON.<br>
* Admin logins can be restricted to local IP addresses.<br>
* internaldomains.conf can now list individual email addresses as
well as entire domains, so you can give usage permission to someone
with a @gmail.com address, for example.<br>
<br>
There have been lots of other improvements and fixes since 5.23, for
more information on those see the Change Log for all the 5.24 beta
releases:<br>
zend.to/changelog<br>
<br>
I've updated all the repositories, so you should be able to just <tt>yum</tt>/<tt>apt
upgrade</tt>.<br>
After updating, run<br>
<tt>/opt/zendto/bin/upgrade</tt><br>
and then, especially if you are using yum or are on a RPM-based
system, check the <tt>/opt/zendto/templates</tt> directory for any
<tt>*.rpmnew</tt> files, and rename them over the top of your old
ones. This will be needed if you have edited any of the template
files.<br>
<br>
If you need to change the text in any of the templates, *<b>please</b>*
avoid editing the templates (<tt>*.tpl</tt>) directly as it makes
upgrades awkward for you.<br>
There's a better way: read<br>
zend.to/translators<br>
and it will explain how to do it so that future upgrades are smooth,
and without editing the <tt>*.tpl</tt> files themselves.<br>
<br>
Please report bugs and so on straight away.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
