### Security Updates

As a result of security testing and hacking that we did on CKFinder 3 we discovered some potential security concerns in the server-side part of the application. These issues affected actions that only authenticated users could perform solely in locations specified in your CKFinder backends configuration, but since in some cases it was possible to skip ACL checks or file extension checks, an upgrade is highly recommended.

### New Features

- Improved accessibility. Added compatibility with screen readers.
- Reworked keyboard navigation in the entire application. Implemented custom `Tab` key support to resolve inconsistency between browsers.
- Added the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog window — press `?` to open it.
- Greatly improved application performance when loading files from remote locations (e.g. Amazon S3).
- Improved performance by reducing the number of situations when the entire files pane is reloaded.
- Improved performance by caching files on subsequent clicks of the folder.
- Added Microsoft Edge compatibility.
- Added preview of PDF files in the gallery.
- Added drag and drop support for files onto folders and breadcrumbs in compact mode.
- Added busy dialog and progress tracking for time-consuming operations.
- Added Proxy command support. It is now possible to view files stored outside the document root or in remote backends in the gallery.
- Added the `Proxy` command and the corresponding `useProxyCommand` backend configuration option.
- Reworked the Choose Scaled dialog window.
- Edit Image feature now warns against closing without saving changes.
- Added the `folder:getIcon` request.
- Removed Maximize/Minimize buttons in popup mode as the browser provides native controls for it.
- Improved performance by caching file previews.
- Added the `cache` option that configures cache lifetime for various CKFinder components.
- Added the `tempDirectory` option that configures the path to the temporary files folder used by CKFinder.
- Added the `sessionWriteClose` option that configures whether the connector should close write access to the session to avoid performance issues.
- Added the `Operation` command that tracks the progress of operation in time-consuming connector commands.

### Backward Incompatible Changes

- Context menu API has undergone major changes. See the updated context menu documentation.
- Toolbar API events `toolbar:reset:NAME` and `toolbar:reset:NAME:EVENT` - `data.toolbar` is now a `Backbone.Collection`, not an array.
- The `file:getIcon` request no longer has the `extension` parameter. Pass the `file` parameter instead.
