Lucid Now Has a Lucid App

by Will Riley on Apr. 1, 2010

Hello everyone, we've decided to announce today the Lucid Desktop app for Lucid! Now, you can run Lucid Desktop right from Lucid, without having to open a new browser tab or window!

You can even run multiple instances of the Lucid app inside of Lucid! Now you can separate apps by task! For example, you can play games while filling out that important spreadsheet for work!

And if that wasn't enough, you can go even further and run the Lucid app inside of the Lucid app! You can even run the Lucid app in that last Lucid app! And so on and so forth. The possibilities are endless!

We are proud to be the first web desktop that offers this technology. We hope it's adopted by other web desktops too!

Dojo/Lucid Security Advisory

by Will Riley on Mar. 11, 2010

A short while ago, a patch for a security hole was released for Dojo, the javascript library we use in Lucid. We just released version 1.0.1, which fixes this security hole, and upgrades the version of Dojo to 1.3.3, which is the latest version. We strongly advise you upgrade ASAP, as this is a fairly serious security problem. This only affects the javascript code, so you don't need to reinstall, just copy the /desktop/dojotoolkit/ folder in 1.0.1 to your server to upgrade. Sorry for the inconvenience.

You can find out more details about the security issue here: http://dojotoolkit.org/blog/post/dylan/2010/03/dojo-security-advisory/
