v2021.04.29.0623 Release

BREAKING CHANGES ALERT! Please read all of the below. :)

• There's a new Server Installer CLI tool that will show on the releases page instead of the install scripts and ZIP packages.
  • It integrates with GitHub's REST API to build a customized server using GitHub Actions, with your server's URL embedded in the clients.
  • Instructions for using it are now in the readme or at https://remotely.one/Tutorials
• The default reverse proxy going forward is Caddy Server. But you can still select Nginx when using the above-mentioned installer tool.
• The Downloads folder has been renamed to Content. I've created a redirect in the server code for file downloads, though, so it should be a seamless transition. But just be aware that they live there now.
  • I won't go into all the OCD details about why I renamed it. But you can be rest assured that it was 100% not necessary, and I'm sorry.
• The SmtpClient has been replaced with MailKit. Test your email settings to make sure they're still working.
  • You may need to disable checking for certificate revocation, particularly if your mail server uses Let's Encrypt.
• API keys now use the key's Id instead of a separate Token property/column. It didn't make sense to have two separate GUID columns, and it was confusing. If you're using API tokens, you'll need to update your integrations so they use the GUID in the Id column, as the Token column will now be gone.
• The Nginx websocket route for BrowserHub has changed to _blazor.
• Some of the API controller routes changed. Some new ones were added. Check the Swagger page.
• File uploads and downloads now use an expiring authentication token instead of the files themselves expiring. This happens behind-the-scenes, so you only need to worry about it if you had an integration that used the FileSharing. You can also authorize with a valid API token.

Server Installer CLI Tool

See the readme for instructions on using the installer tool.

A tutorial video can be found at https://remotely.one/Tutorials.

To upgrade, simply run the installer again. Some of the steps (SSH keys, personal access tokens, etc.) only need to be done the first time.

Changes:

• 9617f83 Update docs due to deprecation of basic auth.
• b369c65 Allow whitespace through.
• 6c21ffe Revert message handler change.
• aa5ff09 Try 128KB buffer threshold on data channel.

• f931350 Update streaming toggled after video data has loaded.

v2021.04.18.2239 Release

This is a preview build! Be sure to back everything up, especially the database, before attempting to upgrade to this version

Read all of the below information carefully, as there are breaking changes!

If you want to preview these changes without installing them on your server, you can check out the public server at https://app.remotely.one.

The server installer tool is brand new, so expect some issues initially. Please let me know if you encounter any.
