  • [ENHANCEMENT] Redesign of user interface (not finished yet, #76).
  • [ENHANCEMENT] Better test coverage.
  • [REQUIREMENTS] PHP >= 5.6 is needed.
  • [REQUIREMENTS] Do not tamper with assets (e.g. no further compression) since this SRI will fail therefore.
  • And many more. Just try it out by yourself.

Update

Make sure that you are running PHP >= 5.6.

Please configure a cronjob or something similar to execute php api/cron.php on a regular basis. It's responsible for deleting polls which haven't been accessed after they expired. Once a day should be fine. It iterates over all existing polls and therefore might generate a lot of I/O. Let me know if you face any issues and need a more granular strategy.

You must protect data/ folder from public access in your web server configuration. Before this release api has only stored encrypted data. An attacker could only get usage statistics out of it. But 0.4.0 introduces an expiration date property of polls. This one is stored unencrypted since the server needs to know if a poll is expired.
