DRACOON - Change to the global maximum retention period for customers with a setting of more than 30 days
This change only affects customers who have currently set a maximum retention period of more than 30 days in the system settings under Policies. Customers who have set 30 days or less are not affected and do not need to take any action.
From 01.10.2024, the global maximum retention period for customers who have set more than 30 days will be set to 30 days. Your previous setting will then no longer be valid.
If you would like to keep your original setting, please set it again now in the system settings under Policies. Otherwise, the 30 days will be activated automatically on the specified date. Please note that this setting applies globally for all data rooms. Once the specified retention period has expired, all items in the recycle bin and all previous file versions will be irrevocably and permanently deleted.
Why this change? --> Many room administrators are not aware that deleted files are simply moved to the recycle bin and therefore take up storage space. In some cases, this has led to unnecessary storage extensions and costs for our customers. In addition, deleted files may contain confidential information that must be deleted in accordance with the GDPR. We have therefore set the global maximum retention period to 30 days. This setting can still be adjusted in line with company guidelines.

DRACOON - Maximum retention period
New Feature
From now on, users with the Configuration Manager role can set a maximum retention period for files and folders in the recycle bin and for previous file versions in the system settings.
This setting applies globally for all data rooms. Once the specified retention period has expired, all items in the recycle bin are permanently and irrevocably deleted. Room administrators can only shorten the retention time further in the individual data room settings.
This function is delivered in two steps:
- The new function is displayed with a default value of 365 days in the "Policies" section of the system settings. The function is not yet activated. The configuration manager can now change the default value without any effect.
- After 2 weeks, the setting is activated and files and folders in the recycle bin as well as previous file versions are automatically and irrevocably deleted.

Now with HTML-based emails, self-manageable mail signature, and mail sending via external service provider

Release on the DRACOON cloud
DRACOON Core v4.13Now with a single authentication method per user
Previously, each DRACOON user could be assigned several authentication methods, all of which could be used for login (e.g. login either with an email address or via Active Directory username).
Version 4.13 of DRACOON Core, deployed today on the DRACOON cloud, now uses the new authentication rule that we announced a year ago:
From now on, each user will only be able to use exactly one authentication method assigned to him or her. This has the advantage that the user no longer has to choose from several authentication methods when logging in—a common source of errors up to now.
Starting with version 4.13, DRACOON automatically recognizes which authentication method is to be used based on the entered username.
Reason for change and availability for on-premises customers
We made the change because evaluations showed that there were hardly any users with multiple authentication methods.
A frequent scenario is, of course, that several authentication methods for different user segments are to be used in one DRACOON, e.g. via Active Directory for users from the organization and via email for partners. Exactly this requirement can still be met with the new rule.
Customers running DRACOON on self-managed servers (on-premises) will receive the new authentication rule with DRACOON LTS 2019-2, which is expected to be released in December.

Release
DRACOON for iOS v5.7
The new version 5.7 of DRACOON for iOS is now available in the App Store.
Major new features:
-
Global search in the complete DRACOON (previously only the active data room/folder could be searched)
- Use of the app also offline (without an Internet connection) possible, e.g. during flight mode
For this purpose, DRACOON for iOS regularly creates an index of all data rooms that the user is allowed to use. When using DRACOON for iOS without an Internet connection, this index is used to display the data room contents and also for searching. In addition, files from DRACOON that were previously downloaded to the device can also be reopened offline.
