About HedgeDoc
HedgeDoc 1.x releases are now mostly advisories — security in, features rarely.
The 1.x line ships on a roughly six-to-eight-week rhythm, and almost every release leads with security fixes: HTML injection through an email localpart, YAML frontmatter denial-of-service, CSRF in the Gist export, a rate-limit bypass via the CF-Connecting-IP header, SVG upload script execution. Around that, the recent additions are operator controls — an external-link warning page with a whitelist, configurable login and signup rate limits, an option to restrict uploads to registered users or disable them entirely.
