Release Notes Version 4.1.x

Major changes from version 4.0 to version 4.1

  • Added support for Outlook Web (New Outlook)
  • Added support for enabling an Ubuntu Pro license from Admin → System → Ubuntu Pro.
  • Improved File Assembly to not double-up on disk space during assembly. Will permit larger files to be sent with less disk space.
  • Improved file processing queue management. Smaller files will get priority over larger files so the file processing queue will be kept overall smaller and more efficient.
  • Improved searches to be more flexible.
  • The automatic system generated swap is limited to max 8GB.
  • Performance: Faster calculation of checksums/crc32. The slower the disk, the bigger the improvement. We've tested 15% improvement on local disks with large files, NFS and similar would see even greater performance improvements.
  • Performance/Security: Image processing using Vips instead of ImageMagick. LiquidFiles doesn't do a lot of image processing. Mostly generating thumbnails in Shares. Vips is faster and uses less memory. ImageMagick has had quite a lot of security issues.
  • Added a function in Admin → System Log for better view of delivered vs bounced or rejected emails.
  • Added a function to disable "Friendly Error Messages" for Registration and Password Resets.
  • Added support for User Delivery Actions for User Filedrops.
  • Content-Security-Policy improvements, removing 'self' from script-src where applicable.
  • Updated JavaScript localization handling with better caching in client browser.
  • Updated JavaScript handling for improved caching and performance.
  • Updated Admin Share Access API.
  • Updated nginx configuration with HTTP Security Headers added to asset and error pages.
  • Removed deprecated HTTP Headers Feature Policy and X-XSS-Protection.
