Upgrade Notes
Version 2.0 breaks compatibility with version 1.x. We recommend a fresh installation to version 2.x of FileSender.
Major changes since 2.0 beta 3
New cloud backends to allow storage of file data in Azure or S3. Explicit support for file shredding. Since good shredding can take time FileSender allows that to be done without the user needing to wait in order to continue to use the web interface. New scripts to import translations from poeditor. Update for resuming a failed upload with TeraSender. A new storage type was added to allow file names to be preserved if desired. Minor documentation updates were done on docs.filesender.org
A new config-passwords.php is passed if it exists along side config.php. This allows passwords and other sensitive information to be kept in a separate file to the main configuration for easier sharing of general configuration but not secret information. This is currently mentioned in https://docs.filesender.org/v2.0/cloud/ but may have it's documentation moved in the future.
