Oqtane 6.1, released on February 11, 2025, introduces significant enhancements in usability, security, and performance. Key features include:

• Static Asset Caching and Fingerprinting: Improves load times by enabling browsers and CDNs to cache static assets effectively. The framework automatically handles cache busting through asset fingerprinting, ensuring users receive the most recent versions of assets.
• Folder Asset Caching: Allows administrators to set caching directives for specific folders within the File Management system, enhancing performance for frequently accessed files. Note that automatic fingerprinting isn't applied in this context, so manual cache management is necessary when files are updated.
• File Upload Enhancements: Optimizes the process of uploading large files by refining the chunked upload mechanism, resulting in a more consistent and efficient user experience. Configuration settings for file uploads have been centralized in the File Management interface, including a new option to adjust the maximum chunk size to suit different network conditions.
• User Impersonation: Enables administrators to temporarily assume the identity of another user. This feature is particularly useful for troubleshooting and testing, allowing admins to experience the platform exactly as the impersonated user would. To revert to their original account, administrators simply need to log out and log back in.
• External Login and Token Preservation: When users authenticate via external identity providers (e.g., OAuth2 or OIDC), Oqtane 6.1 now supports the preservation of tokens, facilitating seamless interaction with downstream APIs within the authenticated context.

These updates collectively enhance Oqtane's flexibility, performance, and administrative capabilities, reinforcing its position as a robust framework for building dynamic web applications.
