After quite some testing, we finally released FlatPress 1.4 “Notturno”.
The general look and feel of FlatPress 1.4 hasn’t changed too much compared to 1.3 - it’s all the small details that were improved:
- With an updated Smarty template engine, FlatPress now supports PHP up to 8.4.
- Numerous useful enhancements made it into FlatPress, such as as freely choosable blog author name, the ability to change the Admin credentials more easily, or the removal of unwanted metadata from uploaded images.
- We fixed quite a lot of bugs and possible security issues (thanks to all the reporters!).
- Since the PhotoSwipe plugin became the default for displaying images, the old LightBox plugin was removed - you still find it in our FlatPress Extras repository.
- The newly added GDPR Video embed plugin provides a simple two-click solution for GDPR-compliant embedding of YouTube, Facebook and Vimeo videos.

What about the name, “Notturno”?
Since music pieces written (or typically performed) at night time are sometimes called “Nocturnes” (listen to a famous one), the release name “Notturno” is a tribute to all the night shifts Fraenkiman worked for FlatPress 1.4 - thank you very, very much, mate!
Also thanks to all of you out there reporting bugs and possible security problems. You make FlatPress so much better!
All the best,
Arvid
