A new version of Family Tree PHP is now released: version 1.5. It is only a beta version for now. Users who have a license for version 1.x will receive a download link for this version today.
There is one main improvement:
- The Securimage captcha module has been removed, since it was very outdated and did a very poor job in blocking spam. Instead support is now added for Google reCAPTCHA (version 2), which seem to do this job almost perfectly so far. However, it only works if your server is capable of contacting the Google servers. Unfortunately on some servers this feature is disabled. Also, you have to register your site with Google and enter two keys, supplied by Google, into your Family Tree PHP dashboard (Dashboard > Settings).
Bug fixes:
- Some minor bug fixes.
Further, all 3rd party libraries have been updated to their latest versions.
Because of the removal of Securimage, you might want to delete the ‘/plugins/securimage’ folder before uploading the new files, in order to get rid of many no longer used files.
