Hi everyone, 

We've just released v3.14 beta 5 (beta list members will get an email shortly). 

The major new features are:

  • File Uploader: We've implemented a new HTML5 uploader for easier multi-file uploading. This replaces the old defunct Flash uploader.
  • Security: Added a new option under Admin > General > Security "Encrypt Database Connections" for using SSL with MySQL.
  • Security: Added a new option in Field Editor > Advanced Options > Data Encryption - Automatically encrypt data stored in database.
  • Security: /data/ folder can now be stored outside of the web root. See /data/how_to_move_data_folder.txt for details.
  • Backup & Restore: Restore operations are now incremental and reload the browser to avoid timeouts with large backups.

NOTE: Betas 1 through 4 were internal, this is the first public beta release of v3.14.

Great news.

It would be cool to get a bit more explanation on the new security aspects.  Something a bit more end-user marketing focus that I can pass on to clients about what this actually means in laymen's terms.  Would that be possible?

Cheers,

Nice. Happy to see the flash uploaded finally get upgraded.

I think the ability to be able to specify a secure upload field would be great, so that the uploaded files are stored outside of the web root folder and only accessible via CMSB functions.

Is anything like this on the roadmap?

Paul.

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the reply.  There isn't a specific project at the moment but I have had requests for this functionality in the past so that secure documents can be uploaded and only accessed via PHP and not a direct URL.

If I have a specific need then I'll get in touch to see if you can help but I think this would be a good feature for CMSB in general, maybe to have a 'secure storage' checkbox on upload fields that if selected stores them outside of web root and then uses PHP to retrieve them instead of just giving the user a direct URL to the file.  Uploads without this checked will work in the same way.

Just a thought for now!

Regards, Paul.
