Preview of version: 61

Tiki20

Tiki 20.0 was released 2019-06-26 (on schedule). You can download it here. And see the announcement: https://tiki.org/article461-Tiki-20-0-codename-Tarazed-Released.

It is a Standard Term Support (STS) version and will be supported until Tiki 21.1 is released as per the Tiki lifecycle policy.

The 20.x branch was created on 2019-05-25.

Requirements

Tiki20 keeps the same requirements as Tiki19:

  • At least MySQL version 5.5.3, which provides support for utf8mb4 encoding
  • PHP 7.1 (note: There is known issue with Tiki 20.2 release where PHP requirement was bumped up to PHP 7.2 accidentally)


It is possible that Tiki21 will require PHP 7.2, so if you updgrade to Tiki19 or 20 (ex.: from Tiki18, be ready to maybe need to have PHP 7.2 (Tiki20.x is End of Life once Tiki21.1 is released so you are compelled to upgrade) Tiki21 confirmed to require PHP 7.2

1. New Features and Improvements

1.1. Spam protection improvements

  • Google ReCaptcha V2 has been upgraded to Google ReCaptcha 3

Tiki in its goal to be an ocean of several useful and secure features for the user, we have chosen to give you the opportunity to choose between different versions of spam security features.
Which is why you can currently choose in the settings to activate the Google ReCaptcha 2 or 3 version.

  • How will reCaptcha V3 stop spam?

The previous ReCaptcha (v2) worked because it tracked the user movement (scrolling, clicking) while the user solved the captcha (clicked on "I'm not a robot"). v3 does the same, but there is just no button to click on, google just "watches" the client and determines wether there is a human controlling the mouse on the other side.

  • What if a hacker spams the URLs on my site with an external tool without using the interface I provide?

Google generates a token for the client when he passes the checks which you have to validate on the serverside. If someone doesn't pass the captcha (a robot), he doesnt have the token.

  • How to activate Google ReCaptcha V3 in Tiki?

In control panel, press the "Security" feature, then the "Spam Protection" tab,
Then go to https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/v3.html
Create a site, add your domain, and then select version 3 of google ReCaptcha, and validate.
You will get two keys that are scrolled in Tiki respectively and then copy-paste and validate and here you are with version 3.
