Our changelog and security updates

Bug fixes

• LOW The API no longer refuses a Retyc CLI built from source with a beta version number.
• LOW Some borders were missing in Firefox. They show up again.

Performance improvements

• The retyc.com website is now served as pre-built pages, so it loads faster.
• Optimize imports in background workers to reduce memory usage (~15MB)

Under the hood

• API dependency updates
• Upgrade to Bun 1.4.4. and frontend dependency updates.

New Features

• Machine accounts, groundwork for future usage: a machine can join your organization with its own identity instead of borrowing a person's account. It generates its keys itself, and an organization admin approves it from Organization > Machines after checking its key fingerprint.
• A machine takes a seat like any other member. You can disable it and enable it again later, and it can't be deleted while it still owns a dataroom, so no data gets lost along the way.
• The member pages now show the seat count that actually applies, machines included, with a link to the Machines page when machines hold seats.
• Admins can see how much of their plan each member uses, from the member's page.

Improvements

• Minor UX changes in organization dashboard.
• Removed an unnecessary refresh button from the SSO page.

Under the hood

• Back-office improvements for the support team.

New Features

• Dataroom errors now carry a stable error code, so the Retyc CLI and other API clients can react to a refusal without parsing the message.

Bug fixes

• LOW A folder being deleted can no longer be chosen as the destination of a new file or folder.
• LOW Symbolic links in a dataroom no longer cause an error in the web app and get their own icon.

Under the hood

• Improved background job scheduling.
• Back-office improvements for the support team.

New Features

• Duplicate a dataroom file from its menu. The copy is made on the server, so nothing is downloaded or uploaded again.
• File versions are now optional per dataroom. Turn them off and each new upload of a file replaces the previous one. Nothing is deleted when you switch.
• Reserve a storage capacity for a dataroom. It is taken from the owner's plan right away, and it can be enlarged later but never shrunk.
• The dataroom header shows how much storage is used.
• The file details panel shows the file's permissions.

Security improvements

• The API now refuses Retyc CLI versions older than 1.4.0-beta1.

Bug fixes

• LOW The name of a deleted dataroom file or folder can be reused immediately.
• LOW Storage of deleted dataroom files is now reclaimed even when a cleanup job is lost.

Performance improvements

• Each file type of a dataroom is now decrypted once instead of once per file, so large folders open faster. Existing datarooms are converted as you browse them.

Under the hood

• Groundwork for mounting a dataroom as a drive with the Retyc CLI: symbolic links, file permissions, advisory file locks, rename with replacement and cheaper refreshes of unchanged folders.
• Upgrade to Nuxt 4.6 and dependency updates, including security fixes.

Security improvements

• The API now refuses Retyc CLI versions older than 1.3.0. The CLI gets an explicit error asking you to upgrade.

Website

• The pricing and security pages now mention passkey sign-in.

Under the hood

• Groundwork for an upcoming change to dataroom file types. A file whose type cannot be read is shown as a generic file, never as a folder.
• Docker images build faster.

Sign in without a password

• You can now sign in to Retyc with a passkey: fingerprint, face recognition or a FIDO2 security key such as a YubiKey.
• Passkeys are available on every plan, including Free.
• A passkey only works on the genuine Retyc sign-in page, so it cannot be phished the way a password can.

What does not change

• Your password still works. Using a passkey is optional.
• Your passphrase is still needed to unlock your encryption keys.

Performance improvements

• Experimental: new upload feature for dataroom with unsafe writes (average 70% faster for small files, but less safe if the connection is interrupted). This feature is not enabled in frontend app.

New Features

• Small dataroom files can now be sent in a single request. If something fails along the way, nothing is left half-uploaded.

Security improvements

• The API checks login tokens more strictly, and someone removed from an organization can no longer rejoin it with an older session.

Bug fixes

• LOW Opening a dataroom folder that was deleted in the meantime now takes you back to the root with a notice, instead of showing an empty folder.
• LOW The upload window of a dataroom no longer lists files from the previous upload as already sent.

Performance improvements

• Database work no longer blocks other requests on the same server. File uploads are 5 to 10% faster under load.

Under the hood

• More detailed tracing of the sign-in steps for monitoring and audit logs.

Security improvements

• HIGH Files and folders of a dataroom can no longer be linked to another dataroom.
• MEDIUM Sign-up: each verification code accepts a limited number of attempts, email addresses are normalized to lower case, and each anti-bot challenge works only once.
• LOW Ensure filter NUL bytes when validating strings in the backend.
• LOW Fix potential race condition in some endpoints.
• LOW Dataroom file uploads are checked more strictly, so an upload can no longer overwrite or slip data into another file.
• LOW Files sent through a deposit link can only be attached to that deposit form's own fields.
• LOW Sessions with incomplete information are now refused instead of being partially accepted.
• LOW Stricter Content Security Policy on the website and the app.
• LOW Configuration secrets no longer have default values, so they must be set explicitly in on-premises instances.

Bug fixes

• LOW Empty files can now be uploaded. They used to fail with a server error.
• LOW Expired one-time codes are now cleaned up properly (valid codes were sometimes removed instead).
• LOW Email addresses that Retyc cannot accept now get their own explanation screen.
• LOW Fixed a memory leak on the website.

Performance improvements

• Downloaded files are decrypted and written to disk piece by piece, so large downloads use much less memory in your browser.
• Listing the versions of a dataroom file is faster.

Bug fixes

• LOW Deleting files in a dataroom now frees the storage quota right away, instead of up to two hours later.

Under the hood

• Faster API responses: fewer database and cache queries on the most used pages (~15% faster).
• More options for on-premises instances. Add new feature flags.
• Tracing/logging improvements for SIEM integration and audit logs.

New Features

• Blog: the website now has a blog, with its first articles.

Security improvements

• LOW Some email addresses were logged in plaintext in the backend logs (rare error cases). They are now redacted.

Under the hood

• Test suite and linter clean-up (deprecated calls, warnings, false positives).
• New deployment options for on-premises instances.

Security improvements

• LOW Production no longer processes images on demand. Only pre-built image sizes are served.

Under the hood

• Lower memory usage on the API during heavy upload traffic.

New changes

• Folders can no longer receive a version by mistake.
• Add a quota on the number of versions a dataroom can have, to prevent abuse and reduce storage usage.

Bug fixes

• LOW Prevented (rare) race conditions in datarooms when two people upload a new version of the same file at the same instant.

Under the hood

• Optimized frontend build (less memory usage, smaller images, faster builds).
• Bun, the frontend build tool, moved to 1.4.2.

New Features

• Public API: organizations can now snapshot and rekey a dataroom through the machine API, listing every file and folder in one call and bringing the organization service account key into datarooms that existed before it was enabled.
• Public API: transfers can now be rekeyed the same way, bringing the service account key into transfers created before it was enabled.

New changes

• Website content clean-up: removed duplicate pages, added missing FAQ answers and icons, replaced outdated content, and added information about reversibility.

New Features

• Organization service account key: add a recovery key to every new transfer and dataroom created by your members.
  • The key appears as a recipient of every new transfer and as a read-only member of every new dataroom.
  • You can disable it and enable it again at any time. Transfers and datarooms created while it was active keep it.
  • This feature is available as an option.

New changes

• Transfers received through an incoming link carry a Deposit badge in the sent list.
• The white paper was revised and is now in version 1.1.0.
• Files added to a dataroom are measured against the dataroom owner's limits (instead of the contributor's limits).

Security improvements

• The API now refuses encryption keys that are not hybrid post-quantum.

Bug fixes

• LOW Fixed a sign-in failure on the authentication callback. The upstream fix landed in nuxt-oidc-auth, so the workaround we were carrying is gone.

About

• Keycloak, our authentication server, now runs in version 26.7.2 on Retyc's infrastructure.
• The upgrade fixes CVE-2026-18963.

Password reset is back

• The "forgot password" feature is available again. It had been disabled on 25 August as a precaution, while the upgrade was being tested.
• Nothing changes for you: the reset link is sent to your email address as before.

Security improvements

• Backend and frontend dependencies were updated to their patched versions.

Under the hood

• The frontend is now built with Bun instead of npm, which shortens install and build times in our pipeline.
• Dataroom creation went through a clean-up and gained unit tests.

Moving away from Clever Cloud

• Keycloak, our authentication server, is no longer hosted on Clever Cloud. It now runs on Retyc's own infrastructure (Scaleway).
• Response time and stability are now better than ever (prevent use reverse proxies from Retyc infrastructure in Scaleway to Clever Cloud).

About CVE-2026-18963

On the day of the migration, CERT-FR issued an alert about a security vulnerability affecting Keycloak. Fixing it requires a major upgrade, and we did not want to roll out that upgrade before testing it thoroughly.

• The "forgot password" feature is temporarily disabled. This is a precaution: it removes any exposure to the vulnerability while the upgrade is being prepared.
• The Retyc team is currently working on the Keycloak upgrade (26.7.x). The feature will be restored as soon as it is deployed.

New Features

• The encryption key can now survive tab reloads (persistance with 2 AES-256-GCM layers, client+server side)
• Public API: organizations can now drive Retyc from their own tools.
• Organization labels: classify your transfers and datarooms, and attach rules to each label.
  • Choose who can receive a labelled transfer: nobody outside the organization, a list of allowed domains, or members only.
  • Allow or forbid recipients without a Retyc account, and external members in datarooms.
  • Cap how long a labelled transfer can stay available.
  • Pick a default label so every new transfer and dataroom carries one, and archive a label once it has been used.
  • Labels are visible to everyone who sees the transfer or the dataroom, recipients included.
• Domain restriction: blocked domains are now rejected when a transfer is created and when someone is invited to a dataroom. Members of your organization are never blocked.
• Member management: a new member page gathers everything the organization knows about an account, its identity, encryption keys, membership type and recent authentication events, with all the admin actions in one place.
• Export your organization data to CSV or JSON (members, datarooms, transfers).
• Display SSO configuration in the organization settings.

New changes

• Dataroom ownership can be handed over to another administrator of the organization, storage accounting included.
• Choose how long dataroom activity events are kept.
• Owners can now delete their own transfers whatever their state.
• Pick which columns to display in the dataroom and deposit lists.
• Disabled transfers are now flagged with a warning badge.
• A dedicated error page in the app, plus responsive and layout fixes across the organization pages.

Breaking changes

• Inviting someone to your organization no longer takes effect while their account is still being created. The invitation applies once the account exists.

Security improvements

• MEDIUM A transfer sent without a passphrase now requires the recipient to be signed in as the intended recipient.
• MEDIUM Closed several ways around the restriction on recipients without a Retyc account.

Bug fixes

• MEDIUM Removing a member now always takes effect, even if the operation has to be retried, and the member is signed out of the organization right away.
• LOW Fixed errors on the billing pages for organizations without an active subscription, and for plans granted outside self-service billing (Enterprise plan / on-premises instances)
• LOW Prevent create/update encryption keys when multiple tabs are in key management page.

Performance improvements

• Authentication events are loaded only when the panel is opened, making the member page faster to display.

  • Multiple recipients (in your organization) to a deposit link/form.
  • Allow deposit with or without a Retyc account.
