Change Log

Version 0.49.00-alpha.3+0139

• Server side security updates.

Version 0.48.00-alpha.3+0138

• Added additional measures to improve CSRF safety. Thanks Chris!
• You can now logout of all your current sessions. When you select User menu > Logout it will prompt you to logout from the current session or all sessions. This handles the case where you need to logout from your office machine, but you sitting at home.
• You can now delete empty groups and topics from The Grid. When you select a group or topic from the filter dropdown, a delete button will appear if that group or topic is empty.
• Fixed the grid autocomplete dropdowns so they show groups and topics that have no bookmarks in them, should you want to repopulate them.
• Empty group pages now have a delete button. If you have private bookmarks that are not currently displayed, you get a message indicating as such.
• Removed the "Always expand" option because topics now remember their expanded/collapsed state. You can still use the Expand/Collapse All button in the icon bar.
• Empty topics now show "No bookmarks" when they are expanded, instead of a half open topic card with nothing in it.

Version 0.47.00-alpha.3+0136

• Fixed the icon bars group dropdown so it navigates correctly. Replaced Dashboard with "Select group".
• Implemented free version restrictions. Dashboard, duplicate and dead link checks, and sharing bookmarks are no longer available for free accounts. Testers still have access to those features.
• Topic cards now remember their expended/collapsed state. So when you collapse a topic, or even all topics, when you switch back to the group, the topics will be collapsed.
• You'll notice the URL for group pages has changed. I decided it was safer to use an encoded URL so characters didn't need encoding and look odd. This also paves the way for being able to change the order of topics and bookmarks.
• Search results, I wanted to clean it up and get more results. So I moved the Save Search button into the Results title area, and put compact and detailed view buttons in to replace the Notes/Detail/URL buttons. See the image below. I think it's cleaner and easier to use.
