CryptPad Files

Goals

This release starts the important work of refactoring CryptPad code to be more modular and optimized. The first improvements will benefit users with large drives or teams as we now avoid loading all of your drives and shared folders before opening a document. We also include some admin features, numerous fixes and improvements with our usual focus on accessibility and mobile usage.

[!NOTE]
We had planned to upgrade OnlyOffice applications (Sheet, Document, Presentation) to version 8 in this release. However we are still working on blocking bugs in the integration. Since the upgrade of documents is non-reversible we are going to keep working to fix the bugs and release 2025.3.1 with OnlyOffice 8 when ready.

[!IMPORTANT] This release contains security fixes, we encourage instance administrators to upgrade.

Upgrade notes

If you are upgrading from a version older than 2024.12.0 please read the upgrade notes of all versions between yours and 2025.3.0 to avoid configuration issues.

To upgrade:

1. Stop your server

2. Get the latest code with git

   :::bash git fetch --depth 1 origin tag 2025.3.0 git checkout 2025.3.0 npm ci npm run install:components

3. Restart your server

4. Review your instance's checkup page to ensure that you are passing all tests

(Optional) Re-build the SharedWorker

With this release we introduce www/common/worker.bundle.min.js which contains all code for the Shared Worker (thread common to all your CryptPad tabs) in a single built and minified file.

You can build this file yourself with npm run api before restarting the server.

Note: You must install the dev dependencies from npm if you want to build this command (don't use the --production flag)

(Optional) Update the SSO plugin

We released a new update of the SSO plugin, settings can now be managed from the admin panel user interface.

If you are using the plugin, update it by following the instructions below:

cd lib/plugins/sso
git fetch --depth 1 origin tag 0.2.0
git checkout 0.2.0
