| v1.11.1 Urgent security patch
|=====================================================
This release is a patch update for the high-level security risk found and reported
by [Shahrir Shafie](https://www.linkedin.com/in/shahrir-shafie-884293117) in the
vulnerable API endpoints.

We categorized this vulnerability as a Severe level issue and recommend everyone to


update the system ASAP.

Follow this [Upgrade


Guide](https://github.com/ladybirdweb/faveo-helpdesk/wiki/General-Faveo-Upgrade-
Guide---Manual) to update your system.

> Note the issue is affecting all the older version of the system, if in any case
you are not able to update the system, we request you to get in touch with support
and get your system patched.

|=====================================================
| v1.11.0 Urgent security patch and theme update
|=====================================================
This is an urgent patch for several security vulnerabilities found and reported by
[Securized](https://github.com/securized) in the system. We highly recommend
updating the system to get rid of all the security issues in your system and secure
your system from vulnerabilities and attackers.

Along with some urgent security updates, this release also updates the frontend
framework and theme version to the latest which enhances the UI design of the
system, keeping the same user experience.

#### Updates
- Updated jQuery version to v3
- Updated Bootstrap version to v4
- Updated AdminLTE theme to v3
- Updated Russian translation to cover 80% of the system. Thanks, @maranqz for
raising the PR and providing proper translation files.

#### Bugfixes
- Various UI bugs and issues
- Generate PDF error
- Laravel route middleware grouping correction
- Storage option functionality corrections
- Clients are not able to change ticket status
- Report PDF generation
- Security issues reported by @securized. More details can be found on their [gist]
(https://gist.github.com/securized/7c702ca002d3d72f3100bc5eb17ec0dd)

**Important**: The system was not generating the unique APP_KEY in the environment
which makes your system vulnerable to expose sensitive data due to a hardcoded
encryption key. This can simply be fixed by generating your own Laravel APP_KEY
using Laravel's artisan commands.
Faveo also introduced its own artisan command to alter the APP_KEY to replace your
old key with the new key. The advantage of this command is it allows you to update
the application's key and updates the required encrypted data in the system so you
do not need to update configurations in the system manually. But we still recommend
you update system configurations manually to minimize the possibility of attacks on
your data. You can use this command from your Faveo root directory as below
```
php artisan faveo:secure-key
```

> NOTE: This security patch requires all agents and admin to login and start their
session again. Also, all the old encrypted URLs will be reset and will not work any
longer.

Follow this [Upgrade


Guide](https://github.com/ladybirdweb/faveo-helpdesk/wiki/General-Faveo-Upgrade-
Guide---Manual) to update your system. This update does not require any database
update. After the update, we highly recommend running the below commands to secure
your Faveo system.
`php artisan key:generate` or `php artisan faveo:secure-key`

|=====================================================
| v1.10.7 Security patch

| v1.10.6 Chrome UI issue fix patch
|=====================================================
Issue #1665 fix patch

Recent updates of Chrome browser introduced an issue in ticket timeline page where
the reply threads from users were not visible in chrome browser's latest version.

The last release fixed the issue for agent/admin view. However, the issue persisted
for client view in Chrome browser. Check out [the
issue](https://github.com/ladybirdweb/faveo-helpdesk/issues/1665) raised for the
same.

Issue Reported by: [@n3zsistemas](https://github.com/n3zsistemas)

We would like to thank the Faveo community users who report their issues with the
system and help us to make Faveo Helpdesk better for other users.

|=====================================================
| v1.10.5 Chrome UI issue fix patch
|=====================================================
Recent updates of Chrome browser introduced an issue in ticket timeline page where
the reply threads from users were not visible in chrome browser's latest version.

|=====================================================
| v1.10.4 Security patch for Slack channel
|=====================================================
While integrating slack notifications in Travis for builds and PRs token for SLACK
channel was not encrypted allowing anyone to use the credentials and post in the
Slack channel as a Travis user. This update encrypts the slack token to fix the
issue.
|=====================================================
| v1.10.3 Bug Fix patch with plugin working update
|=====================================================
- Changed plugin settings to activate and deactivate plugin by removing the update
process for the config/app.php file.
- Changed plugin ServiceProvider registration technique by removing the hard-coded
code AppServiceProvider.php file. Now We are registering all plugins'
ServiceProvider classes available for active plugins with status as 1 in plugins
table in the database. It provides more dynamicity to developers so they need not
worry about registering their custom plugin's ServiceProvider.
- Added new event "after.ticket.created" which gets fired after tickets get created
and contain ticket data. It can be useful for developers for creating new plugins
which need to perform a certain action after the ticket is created.
- Updated helpers.php added new method carbon() to parse string date into carbon
date object.
- Added Spanish language translation (translates system up to 60% in Spanish)
- Forget password validation exception removed dd() statement
- Updated isInstall() method get installation value from Config instead of directly
calling from .env
- SLA deletion issue fixed #714
- Updates for Plugin working

|=====================================================

|=====================================================

Error Reporting
--------------------------
Faveo uses [Bugsnag](https://www.bugsnag.com/) to monitor application stability in
the production environment. It helps us to provide bug fixes and feature updates
after analyzing the logs and crash reports for the application. **If you are
customizing the application under the development environment, we request you to
disable this error reporting.** It will allow us to ignore the errors occurred
during your development cycle and we can focus more on the exceptions/bugs
occurring in the live system of other users of the Faveo community. It can be
easily disabled from "Error logs and debugging" option in the admin panel or by
updating your app environment to development in `.env`.

You can still report the issues on our [Github Issue


page](https://github.com/ladybirdweb/faveo-helpdesk/issues) by providing proper
information about the changes you are trying to implement. We assure you that Faveo
community will help you and your customization can be a part of Faveo application
if it follows our contributing guidelines.
