  • New SMS provider genericmobile. (closes #317)
  • Re-styled ddadm. The administrative user interface for deaddrop, ddadm, has been entirely restyled. CSS for deaddrop and ddadm now compiled from SCSS at build-time. Moves toward a single main.css. Prerequisite for the upcoming branding editor.
  • Removed copyright notice and hardcoded URL from outgoing emails. Link is now configurable via “commercial_url” in mail_language.json. The “more_info” key in mail_language.json is now no longer used. (closes #316)

Bug fixes

  • Datetime format would not update upon switch of language.
  • “Incorrect credentials” would sometimes not be shown on the login-page when entering wrong username or password.

Security Hardening

  • Closed a path-traversal flaw. This flaw was not exploitable due to strict sandboxing.
