Hi folks!<br>
<br>
I have just released a new production release, version 6.05-1.<br>
<br>
The main improvement this time is an overhaul of the "request a
drop-off" page, and now you can set the starting and ending
times+dates limiting when someone can upload files.<br>
<br>
So if, for example, you are using it to accept bids for a contract
from potential suppliers, you can set a firm closing time+date,
after which they will not be able to submit their bid.<br>
It is also handy if you are using ZendTo to accept coursework or
exam answers from students, by giving them a defined window during
which they must submit their answers.<br>
<br>
There are various other fixes and more minor improvements as well,
including improved logging of successful and failed creation of new
drop-offs.<br>
<br>
The new version is in the repositories, so hopefully "yum update
zendto" or "sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade zendto" will
upgrade you. Remember to run "/opt/zendto/bin/upgrade" after
upgrading, so your preferences.php and zendto.conf files are kept up
to date.<br>
<br>
Otherwise you can get it from <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://zend.to/downloads">https://zend.to/downloads</a>.<br>
<br>
Any problems, questions or suggestions, please let me know
straightaway!<br>
<br>
Here is the full Change Log since the last production release
(6.03):<br>
<br>
Version 6.05-1 Production<br>
- Improve attempt to stop browsers auto-filling encryption
passphrase when creating a new encrypted drop-off, and when creating
a request for an encrypted drop-off.<br>
- Fixed bug in makelanguages (and the Installer) on Debian 10.<br>
<br>
Version 6.04-2 Beta<br>
- Fixed bug in LDAP authenticator where setting a value to '' gave a
different result from leaving it unset.<br>
- Log web browser info when creating a drop-off. To get an
additional summary, you will need to set your php.ini 'browscap'
setting to '/opt/zendto/lib/browscap.ini'.<br>
- Added more logging of authentication failures to help logwatch
users.<br>
- Fixed string formatting bugs in AD authentication logging.<br>
<br>
Version 6.04-1 Beta<br>
- Overhauled the "request a drop-off" page.<br>
- Added new feature to requests: you can now set a start and end
date+time. Outside those times, the request won't work.<br>
- Fixed bug where admins logging in via SAML would not see
statistics button in main menu. Alternative workaround is to list
'authAdmins' users in 'authStats' as well.<br>
- Changed 'Content-Security-Policy' header definition in Apache
config. Exact change is to replace "img-src *" with "img-src data:
*", then restart Apache. Otherwise the date/time picker in the
"Request a Drop-off" form will not display correctly.<br>
- Subject in new drop-off form can now only be edited if you are
logged in.<br>
- Fixed bug in unlock-user to get all the reporting correct, and fix
and improve logging. Thanks Marlon!<br>
- Improved "upgrade" command so it warns you if you have *.rpmnew or
*.dpkg-dist files in your templates dir that you need to move into
place by hand, as you had modified the previous versions.<br>
- Improved "upgrade" command so it checks you have a
'Content-Security- Policy' header definition in your Apache config
for the https ZendTo site. And if so, adds "data:" to the list of
valid sources of images. Otherwise the date+time pickers in the
"request a drop-off" page will look messed up. If it doesn't find
the header definition at all, it suggests the change you need to
make.<br>

'NOTE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE AND AMERICANS: One shilling = Five Pee. It
helps to understand the antique finances of the Witchfinder Army
if you know the original British monetary system:
Two farthings = One Ha'penny. Two ha'pennies = One Penny. Three
pennies = A Thrupenny Bit. Two Thrupences = A Sixpence. Two Sixpences
= One Shilling, or Bob. Two Bob = A Florin. One Florin and one
Sixpence = Half a Crown. Four Half Crowns = Ten Bob Note. Two Ten
Bob Notes = One Pound (or 240 pennies). One Pound and One Shilling
= One Guinea.
The British resisted decimalized currency for a long time because
they thought it was too complicated.' - Terry Pratchett
