Gram 3.4.0 released
Gram version 3.4.0 was recently released due to concerns over the eMudhra CA and vulnerabilities in the rustls-webpki and webpki-roots packages. The developers strongly recommend users to upgrade to the latest version as soon as possible. Those who prefer to remain on an older version are advised to rebuild from source with updated webpki packages.
Despite the release being primarily a response to the eMudhra CA issue, it was also time for a new tag. The release features numerous fixes and innovative new functionalities. The contributors are commended for their hard work on the editor.
The changelog is extensive, but key highlights include:
- Enhancements and fixes addressing various issues
- New features added to improve functionality
However, a downside of this release is the increased number of cases where the editor downloads files without user consent. The team is actively working to resolve these issues, but the current UI for handling downloads and server status is suboptimal. They are experimenting with a lighter-weight extension system to improve the installation and management of extensions, but this will be incorporated in the next release.
The team apologizes for any inconvenience caused by these changes and thanks everyone for their contributions, participation in the XMPP chat channel, and overall usage of the editor. Downloads will remain accessible through Codeberg.
