Work in progress Chevereto v4.3.0 announcement

[Rodolfo]

Hey there,

I’m confirming the ongoing development of Chevereto v4.3.0 (Entrador). This new release adds chunked uploads and many other stuff that I will be posting in this topic. Chevereto Entrador aims to improve on big file uploads, 360 media compatibility, support for more external providers, etc.

I've a mix of random small features that I will pack in this release, which I will be developing for about two months. Feel free to participate in RFC.

Added support for Cloudflare Turnstile captcha

Chevereto 4.3 now supports Cloudflare Turnstile, a user-friendly, privacy-preserving smart CAPTCHA alternative.

Chevereto 4.3 expands its anti-bot protection by adding Cloudflare Turnstile alongside existing options like reCAPTCHA v2, v3, and hCaptcha. This gives users greater flexibility in choosing a CAPTCHA solution that best suits their needs, whether prioritizing ease of use, privacy, or bot mitigation effectiveness. Turnstile's privacy-friendly, frictionless approach aligns with Chevereto's commitment to user experience, offering a seamless alternative that eliminates Google dependencies.

Added customizable semantics for video concerns

Chevereto now makes it easy to customize the video and videos semantics, allowing you to tailor the wording to better fit your project or audience. Whether you prefer "Item", "Product", "Media" or any other term, you have full control over the terminology used. This flexibility lets you align Chevereto with your specific use case, making it feel more natural for your audience.

Added customizable semantics for tag concerns

In addition to custom file semantics, Chevereto 4.3 now allows you to customize tag and tags semantics. Whether you prefer “label,” “attribute,” or any other term, you can easily change it with a single click from the dashboard.

Added configurable semantics for video concerns

Chevereto 4.3 expands semantic customization to video and videos, allowing you to tailor terminology to fit your needs. This update builds on the enhancements from versions 4.1 (Pulento) and 4.2 (Regio), further unifying and refining semantic flexibility across the platform.

Added circles for user avatars

Everything user-made/owned now shows the user avatar in a circular shape. This helps to make the design system more consistent.

Added option to disable user color palette selection

On Chevereto v4.0.0 we added color palettes and a most requested feature is to add an option to disable user palette selection. We are happy to announce that Chevereto v4.3.0 will allow to disable color palette selection for users.



^ When that option is disabled this is how the user menu will look like:



The system will use the selected theme palette for all users when the setting is disabled. Enable it again and users will be able to pick the theme palette.

Added connect URL display for each login provider

Thanks to the suggestion of @Wolfspyre Chevereto now includes the connect URL you need to pass to your login provider. The connect URL input is readonly and it includes a focus-all action plus a copy button, so you can save some hassle while setting up your login provider connection from there.

Added application-level in-memory cache support

We are excited to introduce application-level in-memory caching, designed to significantly enhance performance and reduce response times. Starting with Chevereto v4.3.0, settings will be cached, and we plan to extend caching to additional systems, such as listings and search, in future updates.

With this feature, you'll see reduced server load, lower database costs, and overall improved efficiency, especially during high-traffic periods.
