LibreCaptcha v1.1.0

Highlights

Note: If you are upgrading from an older version of LibreCaptcha, the config file now needs three new options: address: "0.0.0.0", playGroundEnabled: true and corsHeader: "". The address option lets you specify the listen address for the server. The playGroundEnabled option is a boolean that enables the demo site and corsHeader lets you add a CORS headers to the response.

Improvements ✨

• Added a simple browser based demo which can be seen at http://localhost:8888/demo/index.html after starting the server. This can be disabled using the playgroundEnabled configuration.
• Alphabets which are confusing, such as O, 0, I, l are now disabled by default
• Improved PoppingCharactersCaptcha (erstwhile GifCaptcha) (#89)
• The background thread now generates all types of Captchas (#84)

Behind the scenes

• Updated scala, sbt, dependencies and sbt plugins to their latest versions
• Updated the H2 DB to version 2.0.202 which is not compatible with the older version. Hence, a new database path is used and if an old database instance exists, it is ignored. This should not be a problem, as there is no critical data stored in the DB. But if you would like to reuse the older database, see instructions in the release link for restoring old database.
• Removed a dependency which was GPL licensed (#66)
• Added functional test (#71)
• Run performance and functional tests in CI
