Version 1.6.2

29 Apr 2026 Sudeep Dsouza 1 min read

Version 1.6.2 is focused on public subsite enhancements, security hardening, and deployment reliability. It expands what organisations can publish on their public website (new live sections and theming), tightens access control for public-facing forms, and upgrades the production runtime to Python 3.11.

Public Subsite: new live sections

  • Training Programs (Live) can now be embedded on subsite pages, with a “Show on website” flag to control what appears publicly.
  • Document Gallery (Live) can now be embedded on subsite pages to surface documents publicly, with a “Show on website” flag on folders.
  • Footer links (Live) lets org admins curate an ordered set of “Quick Links” shown in the public site footer.

Public Subsite: theming & layout improvements

  • Added theme-aware header and footer styling across all themes (arise, seva, clarity, earth), including navbar, hover accents, footer palette, and social icon styles.
  • Fixed outline button theming so button colours correctly follow the active theme.
  • Removed hardcoded section headings from live section components so page authors can supply their own headings within the editor.

Public contact form: security improvements

  • Added CAPTCHA to the public contact form with refresh support and clearer validation handling.
  • Added rate limiting (per IP) to reduce spam/abuse on the public contact form.
  • Fixed an IDOR issue across org member management actions by enforcing organisation scoping before any DB access.

Security, reliability & operational improvements

  • Upgraded Google App Engine runtime to Python 3.11
  • Fixed a third-party migration warning and configuring MIGRATION_MODULES so deployments remain stable and repeatable.
