Self-hosted users
Prior to updating to Hudu v2.40, please ensure you have updated to Docker Engine v28 and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS or newer.
Microsoft SMTP authentication
Microsoft has announced changes to Exchange Online SMTP AUTH:
- Basic authentication for Client Submission (SMTP AUTH) will be permanently removed
- Rollout begins March 1, 2026
- 100% enforcement by April 30, 2026
Applications using SMTP AUTH will need to move to OAuth-based authentication. Learn more from Microsoft.
Hudu/Halo KB sync
The Hudu / Halo KB Sync will require updated API scopes for HaloPSA. The new KB sync will not function until these credentials are updated. Before attempting a KB sync:
- Update your Halo API credentials in both Halo and Hudu
- Follow the setup guide for more information
Now let's check out a few release highlights:
Highlights
Automatic expiration archiving & new deletion option
Managing expirations is now simpler than ever. You can archive or delete expirations directly, and any expiration tied to an archived record will now be archived automatically. Archived expirations are removed from the global expirations table and stored in the Museum, giving you a cleaner view of what needs attention.
Hudu/Halo KB sync
Automatically sync your Hudu KB to Halo to ensure up-to-date documentation across both systems.
Microsoft Intune connected fields
Connected fields now pulls in Microsoft Intune data right where you need it. Supported fields include device display name, manufacturer, model, OS name, OS version, and device type.
Microsoft Graph support & SMTP configuration improvements
Email setup is now easier and more secure with updated configuration options and support for Microsoft Graph.
Customize content security
Admins can now customize Content Security in Hudu, choosing whether to use the default protections or define which external frames, media, styles, and scripts are allowed.
Bulk actions for photos
Managing photos is easier with new bulk actions. You can now delete or move multiple photos between folders at once, helping you organize quickly.
New global table filters
New global table filters make it easier to quickly find what you need and review more efficiently. Password tables can now be filtered by color or tag for faster lookups.
Flag Review can be filtered by item type to help you audit items with focus.
PDF overhaul
Cleaner, clearer PDF exports with KB support, expanded TOCs, improved styling (with code blocks), RTL support, password OTPs, watermarks, and export dates.
