EthosCE 7.9 is now available for release! Sites will be updated per the release schedule.
For a full list of changes, please see the changelog.
Additions
Password policy
EthosCE will now enforce password strength when creating or updating passwords. By default, passwords will require 7 characters with at least one uppercase letter and one number.
If you would like stronger password requirements, please open a support ticket and let us know! The following settings are supported:
- Number of character types (letters, numbers, punctuation)
- Number of digits
- Number of letters
- Password length
- Number of uppercase and/or lowercase letters
- Number of punctuation characters
- Delay (restricting time between password changes)
- Restricting username from use as password
- History (checks hashed password against a collection of user’s previous hashed passwords looking for recent duplicates and rejects password re-use.)
- Password expiration. The user is forced to change their password and is optionally blocked when their old password expires.
Calendar export in iCalendar format
The site calendar can be syndicated or loaded into a user’s personal calendar (Outlook, Google, etc) in iCalendar format. To download the calendar, use the link at the bottom of your calendar page (/calendar).
