Categories:
We are excited to announce the release of sett version 5.2.0, which brings several significant enhancements designed to improve usability and streamline the encryption and transfer of data.
For a full list of changes, please refer to the changelogs:
To download the new version, please go to the download page, and choose your distribution.
Simplified encryption and transfer GUI ✨
The “Encrypt” and “Transfer” tabs have been combined into a single tab, making the interface cleaner and easier to navigate. You can still choose to encrypt files first, and transfer them later.
BioMedIT Portal Integration 🔐
Users can now authenticate through the BioMedIT Portal, unlocking additional features:
- When creating a package, you can now select eligible approved data transfer requests from a drop-down menu, rather than manually entering the DTR number.
- For S3/HTTPS transfers, credentials are automatically retrieved—no need to switch back to the Portal to fetch them.
OpenPGP key expiration date 📅
It is now possible to set an expiration date when generating an OpenPGP certificate both from sett GUI and sett CLI.
Additional settings ⚙️
The “Settings” tab of sett GUI now displays more information, such as the location of your public and private key stores.
CLI for simultaneous decryption and transfer 📬
Users can now decrypt packages from an S3 object store by specifying the corresponding arguments.
Performance and other improvements 🏎️
Additionally, this version includes several bug fixes, as well as security and performance improvements.
