🪣 Added "Use path style endpoint" option for External Storage

✅ Improved session handling

Session has been improved with more secure options (HTTP only, secure if https). It also now supports CHEVERETO_SESSION_SAVE_PATH and CHEVERETO_SESSION_SAVE_HANDLER which you can use to define another session handler, for example Redis.

✅ Improved handling for boolean settings

Boolean setting keys for example auto_language now includes strict type checking, the system will strictly write only boolean values.


^ Here what was wrong: The setting_value should be 0 or 1. In this update the system will prevent this case.

✅ Improved handling for string settings (HTML safe)

Setting values before v4.2.0 could be filled with any string value, and when passing HTML you could end up breaking the website. In this update the system now prevents unwanted HTML code for all string settings.

Chevereto now always detect HTML on these values, and fix the stored values accordingly.
