Hi everyone,
We've just released v2.51 (Build 1004), a security and maintenance update. The major new feature are:
- Configurable Login Timeouts - This controls how long users stay "logged in" for. You can now set the login timeout under Admin > General to anything from 5 minutes to 5 years (or more). We've set our website to 3 months, so if you leave yourself logged in and come back 2.5 months later, you won't have to login again.
- CMS Restricted IP List - For added security, you can now specify a list of IP addresses that can access the CMS. All others will be denied. If you make a mistake you can manually update the list in the settings data file: /data/settings.ini.php. And note that this doesn't affect the website (we're using this feature now) only the CMS Admin.
- TinyMCE Security Patch - Tinymce announced there was a security patch with the spellcheck component of the wysiwyg editor and we've updated their code to the latest release
- Programmers - Lots of enhancements for programmers and plugin authors. New function emailTemplate_addToDB() for adding custom "email templates" to the CMS (to be used by plugins), new function htmlPurify() filters and cleans untrusted HTML so you can accept HTML from users without worrying about malicious content (we use this in the forum), and Background Tasks (Cron jobs) now send you email alerts when a task fails, display all the registered background tasks, and have a more details status dashboard.
Beta Testers: Check both the version and build number match under: Admin > General > Program Version to ensure you have the latest version.
