Elgg 3.2 released

Today, right on schedule, it is time for a new feature release for Elgg. You can get the Elgg 3.2 release in the download section.

During the development of this feature we focused a lot on cleaning up the older tickets on Github. Also improving code quality was a major point of interest in the last three months. This release contains the following noteworthy changes.

For users:

  • Group membership management has been improved

For site administrators:

  • You can set up manual approval of newly created accounts
  • The friends plugin can be configured so friend relationships are reciprocal and need to be approved by the other user
  • Password requirements can be configured
  • Application tokens can be managed in the webservices plugin

For developers:

  • API functions have been added for listings of relationships
  • Introduced pageowner can edit gatekeeper middleware to be used in routes
