version 0.9 (unreleased) - rails 4, twitter feed and deprecations ---------------------------------------------------- We have a great contribution from the Rails Girls Summer of Code again! The landing page of the webapp can now include a twitter feed to display news from the provider. Other than that this is a maintainance and transition release. * Twitter feed on main page (thanks theaamanda and lilaluca). * upgrade to rails 4.2 Upgrading: * We now use rails 4's `secret_key_base`. Please make sure to supply it in config/config.yml for production environments. If you are using the leap platform that will already take care of it. version 0.8 - email and RGSoC ------------------------------------------ This release focused on getting all the features needed for a complete email provider and merging in the work done by Rails Girls Summer of Code. * Support for invite codes: admins can require that new users present an invite code. If required, the invite code cannot be bypassed and is incorporated in the Secure Remote Password negotiation. (thanks ankonym, ayajaff). * Support for customer account billing, including subscriptions. (thanks claucece, EvyW). * Ability to remove, disable, and re-enable users. (thanks EvyW). * Many localization fixes. * Many bug fixes. version 0.7.1 - localization ------------------------------------------ Support for localization has been turned on and much improved. Since you probably don't want to enable all the available languages, make sure to set `default_locale` and `available_locales` in your configuration file. When deploying via the LEAP platform, these are controlled via `default_locale` and `languages` in provider.json. version 0.7 - rotating DBs ------------------------------------------ CouchDB is not designed to handle ephemeral data, like sessions, because documents are never really deleted (a tombstone document is always kept to record the deletion). To overcome this limitation, we now rotate the `sessions` and `tokens` databases monthly. The new database names are `tokens_XXX` and `sessions_XXX` where XXX is a counter since the epoch that increments every month (not a calendar month, but a month's worth of seconds). Additionally, nagios checks and `leap test run` now will create and destroy test users in the `tmp_users` database, which will get periodically deleted and recreated.
