Hi everyone,
I’ve pushed new production releases for both the backend and frontend of STO Info.
These releases include a significant number of commits focused on security hardening, CI improvements, dependency maintenance, and infrastructure upgrades.
Important: Microsoft Email Delivery Fixed
The biggest user-visible change:
👉 The email sending provider has been changed.
Users registering with Microsoft accounts (Outlook / Hotmail / Live) should now reliably receive confirmation and notification emails.
Microsoft had previously been blocking delivery from the prior shared IP provider despite SPF/DKIM/DMARC being correctly configured. That issue should now be resolved.
If you previously attempted to register and did not receive an email, please try again.
Backend Improvements
- Security workflow enhancements (CodeQL, ZAP DAST, fuzz testing)
- Stronger CI enforcement (DCO, audit jobs)
- Explicit entity typing for improved database consistency
- Dependency updates across runtime and tooling
- AWS SDK, Redis, ESLint and CI action updates
- Documentation refinements
Frontend Improvements
- Team pages and contact form enhancements
- CI security additions (fuzzing, ZAP)
- Automated release workflows
- Font Awesome moved to CDN to reduce build weight
- Angular/tooling dependency updates
- ESLint adjustments for compatibility
- Documentation updates
Overall, this release cycle focused heavily on reliability, maintainability and security rather than major feature expansion.
