Encrypted files

Safer File Moves

Version 34.0.3 fixes possible corruption when moving from encrypted to unencrypted folders within the same object storage.

Object storage

Clearer S3 and Upload Failures

S3 errors can reach the interface, while multipart-upload byte counters reset on retry.

Sharing

Unusual Failures Corrected

Fixes prevent crashes when a share owner is missing and stop rejected shares from being accepted again.

Server operations

Reliability and Performance Work

The changelog includes improvements involving previews, background-job cleanup, caching and Memcached behaviour.

Security context

Hardening Is Included

The release strengthens host and IP validation, preview checks and password-confirmation handling. It was not announced as a single critical-CVE emergency.

Back Up Three Areas

Protect the database, configuration and data directory. The built-in updater does not back up the database or user data.

LinuxPanda takeaway

Use a Controlled Update Process

Confirm app compatibility, use a maintenance window and test files, shares, storage and authentication afterward.
