πŸ“’ We are happy to announce the #release of #FileSender 3.5. 🀩
This is mainly a bugfix and refinement release. 🎯 It loosens the validation on mime type strings to allow the hyphen character. In FileSender 3.4, the move to jQuery 4.x caused problems in some environments. FileSender 3.5 is back to jQuery 3.7.x again for now.
We are grateful to the global NREN #community for supporting the FileSender project to evolve. 🀝
