SMF 2.1.2 Released

May 09, 2022, 12:33:55 PM by Sesquipedalian

Dear Members,

Simple Machines is pleased to announce a new patch for the 2.1.x line of SMF, which pushes the version number to 2.1.2.

We consider this patch to be of crucial importance, as it includes security updates.

Notable changes in SMF 2.1.2

Fixes errors when attempting to view the profile of a non-existent user.
Fixes minor issues with the editor toolbar when certain BBCodes are disabled.
Fixes a bug where the admin panel incorrectly showed the image proxy settings as editable when Settings.php was read-only.
Correctly formats the gender string in profile exports.
Correctly formats the custom profile field names and values in the Buddies list.
Fixes a minor bug when displaying size limits in the attachments restrictions information.
Large image thumbnails now display with the the correct aspect ratio when viewed on small devices.
Video attachments no longer overflow the window on small devices.
Fixes errors about undefined variables when switching between different cache accelerator options.
Fixes an error about invalid dates when a comma was used under certain circumstances while creating a calendar event.
Correctly handles uppercase non-ASCII characters in the answers to verification questions.
Fixes a bug that could allow a topic to be moved into a redirection board under certain circumstances.
Fixes a error that could be generated when sending notifications about guest posts.
Fixes a bug where certain pages could fail to load if the set_time_limit() function was disabled on PHP 8+.
Fixes a bug where attachments might not download correctly if the "Enable compressed output" setting was enabled on PHP 8.0.17+ and 8.1.4+.
Fixes some rare Unicode character handling issues.
Security improvements.

Please see the change list on GitHub for more information.

How to update to 2.1.2

If you are currently using version 2.1.1 you can perform the update using the Package Manager (Administration Center > Package Manager). There you should see a notification about 2.1.2, including a "update your forum" link. If you do not see this notification in the Package Manager, please run "Fetch Simple Machines files" from the Scheduled Tasks page (Administration Center > Maintenance > Scheduled Tasks), and then try again.

If you are currently using version 2.1.0, you can use the process described above to apply previous update patches successively until you reach version 2.1.2.

If you are currently using any older version of SMF (including SMF 1.x, SMF 2.0.x, or one of the SMF 2.1 Betas or RCs), you can upgrade directly to 2.1.2 from whichever version you are currently using by using the "Large Upgrade" package from the Download page. Be aware that using this upgrade method will require you to reinstall any customizations that you have added to your forum, so if you are running SMF 2.1.0 or higher, it is recommended that you apply the successive patches instead of using the Large Upgrade.

If you are having problems downloading the patch from the admin panel, you can download the patch package from the Package Manager Updates page and install it via the Package Manager, as you would any other mod package.

Please refer to the Online Manual for more details about patching and upgrading.

Finally, as always, please do not use this topic for support requests. You will receive a much quicker and better response by posting in the 2.1.x Support Board.

Thank you for using SMF!

Regards,
Simple Machines

SMF 2.1.1 Released

February 11, 2022, 08:21:50 PM by Sesquipedalian

Dear Members,

Simple Machines has released our first patch to the 2.1.x line of SMF, bringing our latest release version to 2.1.1.

Restores support for PHP 7.0–7.2
Fixes a minor bug in the Package Manager

How to update to 2.1.1

If you are running version 2.1.0, you can update your forum to the latest version by using the package manager. You should see the update notification in the admin panel notifications and in the package manager, which will allow you to download and install the patch seamlessly. If you do not see the notification about the patch, please run the scheduled task "Fetch Simple Machines files" from the Scheduled Tasks page (Admin > Maintenance > Scheduled Tasks).

For other install and upgrade options, please see below.

Since SMF 2.1.1 comes soon after SMF 2.1.0, which was released only a few days ago, we are including a copy the SMF 2.1.0 release announcement for your convenience:

Simple Machines is pleased to announce the official release of the long awaited SMF 2.1.

This release marks the transition of SMF 2.1 into the current stable release of SMF. This means that:

SMF 2.1 is now the recommended version for use on live production forums. We encourage everyone to start planning for an upgrade to SMF 2.1.
SMF 2.0 remains supported and will continue to receive security updates for the foreseeable future, but this release officially marks the end of further 2.0 development. We will release a separate announcement for any future changes to SMF 2.0's status.

Notable changes in 2.1

The changes between SMF 2.0.x and SMF 2.1 are too many to count, but here are a few highlights:

New features for users
- A new WYSIWYG editor, SCEditor
- Real-time alerts in addition to email notifications
- A new default theme with full support for mobile devices
- Draft messages (you can save & resume later)
- Mentions using @name syntax
- Drag & drop attachments
- Attachments can be embedded directly into post text
New features for moderators and administrators
- An improved Administrator Control Panel
- Support for moderator groups, not just individuals
- Many security enhancements, including support for optional Two Factor Authentication.
- IPv6 support
- Designed with GDPR support
New features for modification and theme authors
- A massive expansion of the number of integration hooks available
- More powerful BBCode possibilities
- Background tasks
- New capabilities in the Package SDK

You can learn more about the many new features and changes in SMF 2.1 here.

How to install a new SMF 2.1 forum

You can install SMF 2.1 using the "Full Install" package from the Download page.

Please refer to the Online Manual for more details about installing.

How to upgrade to SMF 2.1

You can upgrade to SMF 2.1 from any previous version using the "Large Upgrade" package from the Download page.

Be aware that upgrading to SMF 2.1 will remove any modifications you may have installed on your existing SMF forum, and that SMF 2.1 is incompatible with custom themes designed for earlier versions of SMF. You will need to install new versions of those modifications and/or themes after upgrading. Many modifications and themes have already been updated by their authors to support SMF 2.1, but you may wish to check the status of individual modifications or themes before proceeding.

Please refer to the Online Manual for more details about upgrading.

With this release we'd like to take the opportunity to recognize the effort and dedication of all the people who have volunteered their time to help the SMF project. We would like to thank everyone, past and present, who has contributed to the development of SMF over the past years.

Finally, as always, please do not use this topic for support requests. You will receive a much quicker and better response by asking for help in the SMF 2.1.x Support board.

Thank you for using SMF!

Regards,
Simple Machines

This release is considered to be an RC (Release Candidate), which means that it is sufficiently functional, but that it has known and unknown bugs. These bugs do not necessarily prevent a release, rather they need to be addressed before the next dev cycle release.

SMF RC4 can be installed as a brand new installation, or an SMF 2.0.x installation can be upgraded to SMF RC4, however, please do note that there are no updates packages for any RC releases.

We highly encourage testing this version on local or development/QA environments. Testing the release will greatly help us in narrowing down, and focusing on, issues and improvements towards the Final release. Note, however, that we do not recommend using an RC package on any live installation and/or production forum owing to the very nature of RC packages.

Finally, this announcement topic is not for support. Please use the SMF 2.1 support board instead.

A very special thanks goes to our community, team members, code contributors and beta testers. Without your help, this would not have been possible.

Thank you for using SMF!

Kind regards,
Simple Machines
