[Webcollab-announce] WebCollab 3.40 Released

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

Hello all,

I am pleased to announce the release of WebCollab 3.40 (Glenorchy).

This is a bug fix and general upgrade version.

Password security has been improved with new passwords being encrypted with the Blowfish algorithm.
Existing passwords will not be changed until the password is manually changed.  Note that this is
only applicable to versions of PHP 5.3.7 (or higher); since earlier versions of PHP have a buggy
implementation of the Blowfish algorithm.

Uploaded files are now stored with random hash id's instead of the file name.  This increases
security and solves potential problems with non-ascii filenames in filesystems.  Again, this only
applies to new uploaded files, and the code is still backwardly compatible with existing uploaded
files.

The Italian language translation has been updated.

Note that a database upgrade is necessary for earlier versions to implement the new hashed uploaded
file names.

Enjoy!

Andrew Simpson
