  • [Security]
  • Sanitize inputs whenever possible and necessary. Do not display file/line in error message if not in Debug Mode.
  • Implement password strength and password length check whenever necessary.
  • Use secure token against CSRF. Massive changes.
  • Protect against brute force attack by using Captcha instead of blocking user account (can lead to denial of service).
  • Detect HTTPS usage and set secure flag accordingly. Do not set user's preferences in cookie, this is useless.
  • Set session cookie_httpOnly flag.
  • [Core Bugs]
  • fix crossRepositoryCopy when no users enabled (shutdown_function does not seem to properly save the session...)
  • Fix ZIP default actions
  • Remove the systematic "root listing" called BEFORE repository switch.
  • Fix Remember me that was broken
  • Fix various GUI loading issues : no need to manually call fireContextRefresh() after ajxp is loaded if the TreeView is not present. Impacted gui.mobile and widget_sample in consequence. Also, do not send context_changed event when in fact the node did not change : less call to the server for saving ls_history.
  • It seems that some php version have problems with parse_url and utf8, so call utf8 decoding after getting the "realFSReference"
  • In Settings : do not create "Shared Elements" from GUI / Do not display Meta Sources edition for read-only repositories
  • [Gui]
  • Do not set padding in percentage for IE
  • Make sure that IE submits the form on "ENTER"

  • Don't forget to call destroy() on protomenu to avoid multiplication of unused divs in the HTML.
  • Line-height here and there for cross browser homogenisation.
  • Fix this old lightbox beeing to high / Fix IE login box display bug.
  • [Plugins]
  • All textual editors : Fix the \\n problem in JS alerts, Add jsp extension to codepress and text editors
  • editor.ckeditor : Bind to the proper CKEditor events instead of listening for modifications in a loop...
  • conf.sql : Shared Elements were not properly implemented when using CONF.SQL driver.
  • conf.sql : Fixed Performance issue when having a huge number of users in a db. There's still some pagination to implement on the users listing.

  • meta.exif : UTF8 encode exif values
  • meta.exif : Do not depend on access.fs
  • meta.exif : Colspan display bug in longitude cell
