CMSB v3.14 Released - HTML5 Multi-File Uploader - August 22, 2018

Hi All,

We've just released v3.14 (and we're running it live on our website!).

Some of the new features to note are:

• File Uploader: We've implemented a new HTML5 uploader for easier multi-file uploading. This replaces the old defunct Flash uploader that was no longer working in modern browsers.
• Security: In this release, we’ve made several notable security updates.
  • Added a new option for using SSL with MySQL. This can be used to secure MySQL connections when working with a remote database. Note that the database server must be configured to accept SSL connections.
  • Added a new option for automatic data encryption, allowing selected field data to be encrypted in the database with the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) algorithm.
  • The CMSB data folder can now be stored outside of the web root to further secure sensitive data, such as backups and schema information.
• Backup & Restore: Restore operations are now performed incrementally and will reload the browser to avoid timeouts with large backups.

Here's the complete changelog for v3.14:
