[Webcollab-users] WebCollab 3.30 Released

[Andrew S. <and...@pa...>]

Hello all,

I am pleased to announce the release of WebCollab 3.30 (Aotuhia).  The release was made a few days
ago and seems to have raised no issues.

This version has bugfixes and a minor feature improvement in reparenting.  

Password encryption internally has been changed from MD5 (now considered weak) to either MD5, or
SHA256 encryption. SHA256 is preferred and will be used with versions of PHP 5.3.2, and higher.

There is provision in the code for the blowfish algorithm, but this has not been enabled for
general use, mainly because blowfish in PHP prior to 5.3.8 is reportedly buggy (PHP Manual).  

Password re-encryption for existing installations will occur as users change their passwords, or
new users are created.

Active Directory authentication has been added.  This is considered experimental.  Please file bug
reports as necessary.

Note that for upgrades, setup.php must be run to add and write the small change in the config
file.  See Release Notes for more details.

Enjoy!

Andrew Simpson
