Changes

Now, when you create a new shared folder, you have a new option to encrypt the data. You'll have to type a password, and to select '''enabled''' for the encryption. An encrypted shared folders can be '''protected''' (data is only available in encrypted form) or '''enabled''' (data appear in clear text, encryption/decryption is done on the fly). Changing the state of an encrypted shared folder can be done through the 'Shared Folder Encryption' panel in the server-manager. You can grant access to this panel to all users using the [[UserManager]] contrib. Users will only be able to toggle mode of shared folders they have access to (and of course, they need to know the correct password)
