Encryption added to security features
The most recent release of Nephtali (0.1.8) includes encryption capabilities for ports, and adds methods for setting encrypted sessions and cookies.
SANS Institute highlights PHP vulnerability
The SANS Institute 2007 update on the top 20 security risks points specifically to PHP web applications that enable the PHP setting 'allow_url_fopen.' Nephtali now turns that setting off by default (along with 'magic_quotes_gpc.')
Data regions make adding headers and footers easy
In pipe regions in your pages, you can now signal which markup is to be repeated by tagging it as a 'data' region. Any content outside of the data region is only rendered once, making it easy to render headers or footers in your markup.
