NEW PROMOTED FLAGE |
|---|
| 6 |
|
|---|
| 7 |
The posts table now uses a new field 'promoted' to indicate that a meme is promoted out from the new memes queue. |
|---|
| 8 |
|
|---|
| 9 |
For compatibility you must execute the following query: |
|---|
| 10 |
|
|---|
| 11 |
update posts set promoted = 1 where votes >= 7; |
|---|
| 12 |
|
|---|
| 13 |
|
|---|
| 14 |
where 7 is the standard promote threshold. You can change this value according your own implementation. |

PROBLEMS WITH AES |
|---|
| 17 |
|
|---|
| 18 |
The last release didn't handle the AES security in proper way. |
|---|
| 19 |
The problem was fixed, we suggest to use your backups for a new password generation. |
|---|
| 20 |
|
|---|
| 21 |
You can regenerate the passwords this way: |
|---|
| 22 |
|
|---|
| 23 |
update users set password = aes_decode(strong_pass, md5(join_date)); |
|---|
| 24 |
|
|---|
| 25 |
then with your global key, you must do: |
|---|
| 26 |
|
|---|
| 27 |
update users set strong_pass = aes_encode(pass, md5(join_date)||'your secret key')); |
|---|
| 28 |
|
|---|
| 29 |

UPGRADING DATABASE FOR BETTER SECURITY |
|---|
| 37 |
|
|---|
| 38 |
With release 0.4.4.100 we have changed the password storage. |
|---|
| 39 |
|
|---|
| 40 |
A new configuration parameter is in config.php |
|---|
| 41 |
|
|---|
| 42 |
define('AES_KEY', '<put your secure key here>');/// AES site key for password storage |
|---|
| 43 |
|
|---|
| 44 |
this parameter is used in users.php for registration and login. |
|---|
| 45 |
|
|---|
| 46 |
With this, we abandon the MD5 passwords, and we store them in a more secure mode using AES. |
|---|
| 47 |
|
|---|
| 48 |
If you have a working database and want to upgrade to release 0.4.4.100 you must execute this |
|---|
| 49 |
script in mysql: |
|---|
| 50 |
|
|---|
| 51 |
|
|---|
| 52 |
alter table users add strong_pass blob; |
|---|
| 53 |
update users set strong_pass = aes_encrypt(password, md5(join_date || YOUR_AES_KEY)); |
|---|
| 54 |
|
|---|
| 55 |
after a while you can drop password from the table. |
|---|
| 56 |
|
|---|
| 57 |
Remember to do a backup of your database!!. |
