WebInterface
The entire end user view of the WebInterface has been rewritten from scratch. This was a major undertaking and one of the main reasons for the wait. It was a massive undertaking to rewrite all that code and UI design that had grown for 14+ years. The key item we did here is we removed jQuery from end user usage 100%. So now everything is our own code and CSS. The UI is *much* faster, and can handle *much* larger directory listings etc. We have full control over everything now as well.
Advanced Upload (Enterprise Only)
The WebInterface now has a new upload feature. Instead of letting the web browser upload in a single stream or with the 4x multiplexed chunks like v10 did with limited UI controls over what is going on...we now can use WebSockets in the browser to upload a file at higher speed especially over high latency connections. There is more to come with this for further enhancements, network interruption resiliency, etc.
Advanced Download (Enterprise Only)
The WebInterface now has a new download feature. Instead of letting the web browser download in a single stream with limited UI controls over what is going on...we now can use multiple browser connections to download a file at higher speed especially over high latency connections. There is more to come with this for further enhancements, network interruption resiliency, etc.
PGP Key Management
PGP keys no longer need to be managed in individual key files, but can be imported into the global keystore / keyring and referenced by name. This allows for automatic retry of keys when you have to change a key due to expiration that the old key remains useful for decryption, while the new key takes over for newly encrypted files.
Jobs Engine (Enterprise Only)
There is now a separation of JVM's for Jobs and Server activities. The Jobs engine runs in its own separate JVM, with its own separate memory arguments. A single bad job can no longer take down the entire server...only the Jobs portion, and CrushFTP can auto recover from a scenario like this too. This also allows you to separate Job running to a separate dedicated machine also with communication between CrushFTP and the Jobs engine happening over the network.
Reverse Event Management (Enterprise Only)
A new button has been introduced for end users to manage their subscribed events just like "Manage Shares".
A new configuration has been implemented to send notifications exclusively to users within the selected groups.
Connection Profiles in Jobs (Enterprise Only)
Allows easy usage of connection profiles in Job tasks, letting you pick and choose or save new connection profiles. This allows for easy reuse of the same config info.
S3 Compatible Server Storage (Enterprise Only)
Allows you to use any compatible S3 client to upload files into CrushFTP. We are not object storage, but we can simulate acting like we are for file data.
In-Place Updates
CrushFTP can now update without restarting the Java VM. This makes for faster updates, no need to re-cache jobs, or memcache, or quotas. Users in most cases will remain connected, transfers uninterrupted, etc. In most scenarios it will be completely transparent to anyone on the server.
Memory Usage Improvements
CrushFTP is now vastly more memory efficient in the job's engine. In most cases when you have large Find results it will be 4x more efficient....this makes it faster as well!
Easier multi domain WebInterface handling
You can set the favicon, and logo for the domain without needing to resort to duplicating login.html files which was required in prior versions.
