CSSCurrent en:Update from v5.2.0 to v5.3.0

Important Update Notes

Increased Duration of First Restart After Update

Due to changes to the underlying database, the first restart of the Cryptshare Server after the update was downloaded may take up to several minutes. Refer to 'Restart the Cryptshare service during update process' for information on how to inspect the progress of the update.

Language Packages

Due to structural changes in the language packages, all supported server language packages will be updated automatically, customized language packages will be removed during the update process (a backup is done before). If more language packages are needed, it is required to download and install them again.

In case your language packages have been modified, the attached delta-file delta_english_lp_5.0.0_to_5.1.0.txt can help you to locate the changes in this update and re-apply the modifications. The structure of this file is explained in Language Pack Changes.

Compatibility Issues with Older Cryptshare for Outlook Language Packages

If Cryptshare for Outlook with the reroute-download feature is used, please install the latest Cryptshare for Outlook Language Packs (v17.1) after updating the Cryptshare Server. If this step is not performed, mails sent by Cryptshare for Outlook may contain invalid characters.

Changes in this version

Configurable loading behaviour for Transfer Log & Statistics

It is now possible to change the loading behaviour for the statistics section and the transfer log section in order not to instantly load the data when opening the page.

This way the administrator must not await the initial loading process, but can first set his preferred time period and then start the loading process.

Email Sending Pool Size

In this version parallel sending of emails was introduced in some places, e.g. the Cleanup Task for sending transfer summary mails to the sender. By default the number of emails that are sent in parallel is set to 5.

In order to further increase throughput, you can increase this value provided your mail server is configured accordingly. See chapter Advanced Configuration for more details.

Additional Changes

• Introduced asynchronous email sending for certain operations to better prevent resource bottlenecks when the system load of the email server is high.
• Resolved a reflected XSS vulnerability in the framework header.
• Resolved an issue that caused corrupt databases under certain circumstances.
• Resolved an encoding issue in email templates which could cause problems in Cryptshare for Outlook.
• Resolved an issue where the cleanup task took considerably longer time than it should for its cleanup operations.
• The version header of the Jetty web server is no longer revealed in the HTTP responses of the server.
• The Java runtime library was updated to version 11.0.14.1.
• Several system libraries have been updated.
