We’ve just rolled out a new STO Info update across both the frontend and backend, with a strong focus on privacy, security, accessibility, and community feedback.
Backend highlights
- Contact us form handling
- New automated cleanup job for contact requests to improve data privacy and retention compliance
- Configurable retention periods for email masking and record deletion
- Secure refresh token verification added
Frontend highlights
- New “About the Team” pages for developers, volunteers, and supporters
- Contact form added for feedback and enquiries
- Accessibility improvements (ARIA labels, image titles, and general polish)
- Security improvements to cookies (SameSite=Lax + Secure)
- Dependency updates and refactoring for long-term maintainability
As always, the app remains free to use, open, and community-focused. Feedback is welcome!
