@pirboazo it's not "just cosmetic" since it includes important server updates. But even if it was: in our view visible changes is what affects people most and what they notice + this release paves the way for more important changes to come, including to the release cycle itself (to be written up soon in a blog post)

🚀 CryptPad 5.0 is now available on GitHub

https://github.com/xwiki-labs/cryptpad/releases/tag/5.0.0

💅 We have refreshed the user interface with: 🧘♂️ simplified design, 🎈 rounded corners, 🎨🌜 improved dark mode colors

What we learned is that AdGuard intercepts and rewrites the rules which are intended to block unsafe code. It's unclear whether the AdGuard devs intended for this effect, but there are much better, safer ways to block ads.

We deployed an update to cryptpad.fr yesterday which introduced a test that runs while the page is loading. It tries to simulate some malicious behaviour, and aborts loading if that simulation is not blocked by some other security features we've enabled.

For the record, this is not an April Fools' joke.

We've received several reports of errors in CryptPad when using the AdGuard extension for Firefox.

If you are using this extension we recommend uninstalling it immediately and replacing it with another reputable adblocker like uBlock Origin or uMatrix.
