- How to update to the latest version?
1. Updated Help page
Full text search, new adaptive design for desktops, tablets, and smart phones. The Help is included in MyChat Server distributional file and works in a browser even if MyChat works in a closed corporate network without an external internet connection.
2. Improvements for obscene words filter
We made options for importing and exporting bad words for obscene words filter. When importing from a text file (UTF8 encoding), the common list is supplemented with new words.
The filter itself became faster by two times approximately. Now we use a conference UID instead of names in the setting for exclusions. The reason is that a name can always be renamed which is not secure. Also, we added a limitation for a word size for an obscene words filter.
