Version 0.9.27
Changes:
- Passwords are now stored encrypted
- Added unsubscribe from thread to context menu (now both subscribe and unsubscribe show in the context menu on the threads list and replies window)
- Added secure icon for SSL connections
- Added fallback to normal HTTP for forumrunner when SSL fails
- Quotes within a quote are now green
On my REPO.
The first time you start this new version it will encrypt all saved passwords. For better security there is an option to set an encryption key file and the addon will use the contents of that file as the key for encryption, otherwise it uses a combination of forum username, xbmc username and system login username or the key. The default uses both AES and Triple DES encryption.
This method is only secure as long as no one knows the key data. It's about the best I can do in XBMC as far as I know, other than asking for a key to unlock the password, which negates the benefits of storing a password in the first place.
If anyone has any problems connecting to a Tapatalk forum with SSL turned on, please let me know. I need to know the error that generates so It can drop back to normal HTTP on that error. Some forums might not support SSL connections, but all the Tapatalk ones I've tested so far do.
My current TODO list:
