## Features and enhancements {#features-and-enhancements}
### Support for silverstripe/graphql v4 {#graphql-v4}
The [silverstripe/graphql](http://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-graphql/issues) module
The [silverstripe/graphql](http://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-graphql/issues) module is used
to drive various parts of the CMS UI, as well as building your own GraphQL APIs in Silverstripe projects.
The CMS currently ships with `silverstripe/graphql:^3`, which is stable but slow for larger schemas.
The module was rewritten from scratch with performance in mind
(see [goals](https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-framework/issues/8824) and [pull request](https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-graphql/pulls)).
The resulting`silverstripe/graphql:^4` release is currently in a alpha stage.
The resulting`silverstripe/graphql:^4` release is currently in an alpha stage.
We encourage everyone to get started, read our new [GraphQL documentation](https://docs.silverstripe.org/en/4/developer_guides/graphql/),
provide [feedback](https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-graphql/issues) and help us stabilise the module.
In order to facilitate the new module release, most GraphQL helper classes to drive the CMS UI
have been marked as deprecated, and moved to `GraphQL/_legacy` folders within core modules.
The GraphQL schema under `admin/graphql` has been altered slightly to enable forwards compability,
The GraphQL schema under `admin/graphql` has been altered slightly to enable forwards compatibility,
with lower-camelcase field names, and a different filter argument structure.
In the unlikely case that you are relying on those classes or queries directly,
consider upgrading to `silverstripe/graphql:^4`.

We are planning to require the use of `silverstripe/graphql:^4` in a future CMS 4.x release.
#### GraphQL 3 code moved to _legacy folder
If your project uses `silverstripe/recipe-cms`, please note that it is still locked to use `silverstripe/graphql:^3`. If you'd like to now use `silverstripe/graphql:^4` then you'll need remove `silverstripe/recipe-cms` from your root composer.json, and instead copy the contents of the composer.json in silverstripe/recipe-cms to your root composer.json and change `silverstripe/graphql` to `^4`.
### GraphQL 3 code moved to _legacy folder {#graphql-v3-legacy}
You will notice that many of the core modules now have a `_legacy` directory in their root.

It is likely that in the future, we will mandate the use of GraphQL 4 in Silverstripe CMS, and
remove this shim. We expect this happen within just one minor release, making `_legacy/` a very short-lived workaround.
## Enhancements
### Improvements to the login form template and signed in period {#default-period}
### Default time period for log in form "remember me" checkbox reduced from 90 to 30 days
Weve reduced the time period of the “Keep me signed in” checkbox on the login form from
90 to 30 days. This time period is now also visible in the label. This value is configurable via `SilverStripe\Security\RememberLoginHash::token_expiry_days`.
Based on feedback from users, we've reduced the time period of the "remember me" checkbox on the login form from
90 to 30 days. This value is configurable via `SilverStripe\Security\RememberLoginHash::token_expiry_days`.
This change has been made to more accurately reflect what action will be taken, and give the reader more information to make a safe and secure decision. In addition to this, the [login-forms](https://addons.silverstripe.org/add-ons/silverstripe/login-forms) module includes a new popover intended to provide further information to support using the "Keep me signed in" option safely.

## Bugfixes {#bugfixes}
### CVE-2020-26136 GraphQL doesn't honour MFA when using basic auth {#CVE-2020-26136}
This release includes a number of bug fixes to improve a broad range of areas. Check the change logs for full details of these fixes split by module. Thank you to the community members that helped contribute these fixes as part of the release!
The Silverstripe CMS graphql endpoint on `/admin/graphql` can be accessed via basic authentication and bypass Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
The basic-auth authenticator is no longer enabled by default. The regular member authenticator is still enabled and
protects the `/admin/graphql` endpoint.
If your site does not use MFA, or you understand that it can be bypassed, then the basic authenticator can be
reinstalled with the [following configuration](/docs/en/02_Developer_Guides/19_GraphQL/04_security_and_best_practices/01_authentication.md#defining-your-own-authenticators).
