The Privacy Tool Suite by Joomla:
User Consents - Make light work of data privacy requirements:
Need users to consent to your privacy policy and/or terms and conditions? With Joomla 3.9, it’s all handled automatically. Simply and easily set up your core forms to request consent before collecting any personal data.
You can also set up a time-based privacy consent expiration. The system will let you know if and when you need to contact your users to renew consent.
Track user consents, manage site policy changes and much more besides, all with a glance at your dashboard.
User information requests? Easy-peasy:
Track and manage information access or removal requests from your users, seamlessly. Once a request is made, just log in, export their data and/or remove them.
User data removal requests are all handled automatically, with all personal data anonymized without you needing to lift a finger.
Never forget a request again. Just set Joomla 3.9 to remind you.
Extension Capabilities - Put your users in the picture when it comes to privacy:
Extension developer – give your potential users a helping hand, by making it clear what data your extension collects. When you want to report functionality in your extensions that may need privacy consideration, simply use the new Plugin Event (onPrivacyCollectAdminCapabilities).
With this simple action, your users gain a clear understanding of your extension, and whether they’ll need to amend their own documentation, such as their privacy policy or terms of service.
User Actions Log - Know who’s done what, and when:
Want to know what administrative actions have been performed on your site? Thanks to Joomla 3.9, Super Users can easily see which user did what, and when. And it also works with supported extensions! Review the action log, export it and purge the entries. You’ll never miss a trick, thanks to the latest actions module that can be added to your control panel.
Need more? Then enable the new log rotation plugin – this will allow you to rotate and remove your log files.
Joomla 3.9 is about more than Privacy:
Use Google Invisible reCAPTCHA on your websites #18146
Argon2id Password is now supported #20855
Content management made fast and easy – little features, that make a big difference:
Add notes to your articles in the backend, and filter them #19134
A new search feature in the backend: search for a specific article content #20083
Load a module by ID into your article #19362
More flexibility for custom fields with two new options:
A repeatable custom field is now available #20243
Create alternative layouts to fit your needs #18571
Most recent frontend changes:
Display the intro or full image in your newsflash module #20169
Show only the articles from a specific author in your latest articles module (#20687), and more options!
New features for multilingual sites:
A new toolbar button to edit associations #21022
Propagate existing associations #21321
Display your tags per language #19509

New in Joomla! 3.5.1 (Apr 6, 2016)

New in Joomla! 3.5.0 (Mar 24, 2016)

This version of Joomla! supports the most recent release of PHP, the most popular programming language for developing web applications. PHP 7 was recently announced with significant performance improvements and is now available for use by the general public. With Joomla! 3.5 users can now enjoy the benefit of that performance improvement.
Joomla's new email update notification plugin periodically checks for available Joomla! updates and bug fixes, then emails administrators to notify them. 3.5's new statistics collection plug-in gathers the system environment in use. The raw data collected is anonymised before transmission and access to the compiled data is publicly available at https://developer.joomla.org/about/stats.html.
In addition to the features mentioned above, other highlights of the 3.5 release include:
Download system & environment information: gives users the option to download system/environment information for support purposes.
Ability to add a user CSS file to Protostar: currently it is impossible to use a custom.css file when using the Protostar template. This update adds a check to see if the file user.css exists and loads the file to allow for user customisation.
Added site and admin links to module user: adds switches to the mod_status module to show/hide links to the front-end and back-end of the site.
Article counts: a set of updates that allows the visual presentation of published, unpublished and trashed articles in the Category Manager for articles, banners, contacts and newsfeeds.
Random category blog and list order: this update answers a common user request to add a random ordering option for articles in the blog category and category list view.
Editor Buttons added to the Toolbar: You no longer need to scroll down the page to find the “readmore” or “insert image” buttons. Editor extension buttons that used to be placed below the text area can now be found in the toolbar where they belong.
Easily Insert Modules in Articles: allows users to easily add a module into an article with a button directly on the editor toolbar. Users don’t need to learn any syntax or remember the module details as the user interface does it for them.
Drag and Drop Images: Adding an image is now as easy as dragging and dropping it from your computer directly into the content. This works anywhere that you are using the default TinyMCE WYSIWYG editor.
