[ixpmanager-announce] [RELEASE] V5.3.0 - 2FA, User Session Management, IX-F Export Improvements and More!

[Barry O'Donovan]

We are pleased to announce the immediate release of IXP Manager v5.3.0.

This release adds a bunch of new features and tidies up a number of bugs
/ regressions in the v5 release train. All IX's running < v5.3.0 are
advised to upgrade.

Full details including a list of new features:

https://github.com/inex/IXP-Manager/releases/tag/v5.3.0


The biggest new features in v5.3.0 is 2FA and user session management:

 > Two factor authentication (2fa) strengthens access security by
 > requiring two methods (also referred to as factors) to verify your
 > identity. Two factor authentication protects against phishing, social
 > engineering and password brute force attacks and secures your logins
 > from attackers exploiting weak or stolen credentials.
 >
 > IXP Manager now supports a Google Authenticator compatible 2fa
 > system.
 >
 > In addition to this, we have implemented user session management
 > which allows a user to be logged in and remembered from multiple
 > browsers / devices and to manage those sessions from within IXP
 > Manager.
 >
 > See details here: https://docs.ixpmanager.org/usage/authentication/
