CryptPad v3.25.1 loads your drive and documents from a local cache when available, letting you view a read-only copy while updates are still loading from the server.

This is a big step towards using CryptPad while fully offline!

CryptPad and the team have received some attention recently through various channels: a Reddit AMA thread, a podcast, presentations, and a blog interview. A summary and some links: https://blog.cryptpad.fr/2020/12/18/Recent-interviews-and-presentations/

Some of you may remember that CryptPad was down for over 24h last week. We've written up a detailed report of what happened and how we hope to handle the next failure more gracefully.

It also includes some pretty major optimizations on the server that reduce CPU and disk usage while also contributing to faster page loads.

Some of our team will take some holidays in the coming weeks, then we'll start gearing up for some big changes in our 4.0.0 release!

We just tagged the last major release of CryptPad v3. It's available on https://cryptpad.fr.

It introduces many improvements for encrypted uploads and a client-side document cache to speed up page load time.

Release notes are on GitHub:(https://github.com/xwiki-labs/cryptpad/releases/tag/3.25.0). #privacy
