Release 3.3.0

The DuraCloud 3.3.0 release adds two primary features:

Secure media streaming: There is now the option to stream audio and video files from a DuraCloud space using either open or secure streaming. Open streaming provides consistent URLs for streamed content items, which is ideal for open access data, as anyone with the URL can stream the content. Secure streaming, in contrast, allows a signed URL to be generated each time a file is to be streamed. These signed URLs can be used for only a certain amount of time, and can also be limited to a particular IP range. Secure streaming allows for streaming of media content to a limited audience.
Two factor authentication: DuraCloud will now accept an IP address, IP range, or list of IP ranges from which requests must originate for a given user to successfully log in to their DuraCloud account. This adds a second layer of security by disallowing any attempts to log in to DuraCloud which do not come from the expected internet address. This can be used, for example, to ensure that attempts to log in to a DuraCloud account always occur from an on-campus location.

Beyond the two primary security-focused features, many updates were made to further support the DuraCloud Mill and to resolve a variety of bugs.
