SMF 2.1 RC2 Released

March 30, 2019, 12:32:25 PM by Sesquipedalian

Simple Machines is pleased to announce the release of SMF 2.1 RC2. This second release candidate includes a number of bug fixes and improvements to security, stability, and performance. Notable improvements since RC1 include:

A fix for a bug that prevented background tasks, including sending notifications and alerts, from completing.
Improvements to the theme templates.
Database query improvements and optimizations.
Improvements to the upgrader, including more graceful recovery if corrupted data is encountered.
Efficiency improvements to the image proxy.
Security improvements for PHP 5.x.
4-byte Unicode characters are handled correctly even on databases that do not support them.
SMF's Like button will not be hidden by ad blockers.
The obsolete Yahoo Messenger profile field has been dropped.
The default list of holidays now extends until 2030.
Sizes of uploaded files are calculated correctly.
Implements permissions system for BBCodes. (Mostly useful for custom BBCodes.)
Some bugs in the editor have been fixed.
Ampersands no longer break the post preview function.
Desktop alert counter always reports the correct number.

You can read about these and many other improvements in the list of changes on GitHub.

The term "Release Candidate" means that the developers believe this version of the software is reliable enough to be installed and used on production websites. Nevertheless, you should still expect to encounter some bugs in SMF 2.1 RC2. We encourage you to report any bugs you find.

You can install SMF 2.1 RC2 as a brand new forum, or upgrade to it from SMF 2.1 RC1, SMF 2.0.15, or any prior version. You can obtain an install or upgrade package from the download page. You can read Installing and Upgrading SMF in the Online Manual to learn more.

Modification and theme authors are encouraged to check the roadmap for our upcoming development milestones when deciding how to update their modifications and themes for SMF 2.1.

Finally, as always, this announcement topic is not for support. Discussion and support for SMF 2.1 can be found in the SMF 2.1 support board.

Special thanks are due to all of the team members and code contributors whose fantastic work has made this possible. We greatly appreciate the time, energy, and contributions that they have given to the SMF project.

Thank you for using SMF!

Kind regards,
Simple Machines

SMF 2.1 RC1 released

February 04, 2019, 07:31:40 PM by Sesquipedalian

Simple Machines is pleased to announce the release of SMF 2.1 RC1. This first Release Candidate for SMF 2.1 brings the beta development phase to an end and is one of last steps toward the official release of SMF 2.1. Numerous bugs that were reported after the release of Beta 3 have been fixed and improvements have been made to security, stability, and performance. Notable improvements since Beta 3 include:

Many database query improvements and optimizations.
Updates to SCEditor, jQuery, and several other plugins and libraries.
Image proxy improvements and support for external image proxies.
Faster and more robust BBCode parsing.
Full support for IRIs (International URLs).
Localization support for reCaptcha.
The ability for time zone descriptions to be localized.
Rewrites of various language strings to make them clearer.
An overhaul of the built-in language editor.
More flexibility and options for custom profile fields.
Improvments to two-factor authentication.
An enhanced error log, including backtrace information.
Bug fixes for alerts and email notifications.
Support for decimal values in paid subscriptions.
Smiley sets can now use many different image file formats.
A multitude of template and CSS improvements and fixes.
More intelligent CSS and JavaScript minimization.
Even more new integration hooks to support edit-free modding.

You can read about these and many other improvements in the list of changes on GitHub.

The term "Release Candidate" means that the developers believe this version of the software is reliable enough to be installed and used on production websites. Nevertheless, you should still expect to encounter minor bugs in SMF 2.1 RC1. We encourage you to report any bugs you find.

You can install SMF 2.1 RC1 as a brand new forum, or upgrade to it from SMF 2.0.15 or any prior version. You can obtain an install or upgrade package from the download page. You can look at Installing and Upgrading SMF in the Online Manual to learn more. Please note that upgrading from any beta version to RC1 is not supported.

Modification and theme authors are encouraged to check the roadmap for our upcoming development milestones when deciding how to update their modifications and themes for SMF 2.1. In general, most mod authors should be able to start their work now, while theme authors may wish to wait for RC2.

Finally, as always, this announcement topic is not for support. Discussion and support for SMF 2.1 can be found in the SMF 2.1 support board.

Special thanks are due to all of the team members and code contributors whose fantastic work has made this possible. We greatly appreciate the time, energy, and contributions that they have given to the SMF project.

Thank you for using SMF!

Kind regards,
Simple Machines

Update:

A significant bug has been found in RC1 that prevents alerts and notification messages from being sent. A fix for this has already been included in the code on GitHub and will be available in RC2.

In the meantime, users can fix this issue themselves by following these instructions.

SMF 1.1.* status update

March 23, 2018, 02:24:45 PM by Illori

In order to provide enhanced support and focus development on upcoming releases, the Simple Machines Forum Team is announcing that version 1.1 of our software will no longer be receiving updates.

SMF 1.1 is outdated in many ways, including in relation to a number of security issues. We suggest that anyone who is still using SMF 1.1 should migrate to SMF 2.0 as soon as possible. The support board for SMF 1.1 will remain open for the time being to allow anyone who has questions about how to upgrade their forum or encounters any problems in doing so to request assistance from our support team.

We are aware that some of our community members have created temporary solutions to the incompatibility problems of the 1.1 series with PHP. We invite those of you who have created these solutions to submit them to our Customization Site. The Customization Team will review the submissions and make them public for the benefit of the entire community. We are open to patches being made, but we need to review them before they are made publicly available to the community.

Development will focus on version 2.1, but we will continue supporting and updating version 2.0.x.

For more information, please see:

Regards,

Simple Machines Forum Team

SMF 2.0.15 Released

November 19, 2017, 07:47:44 PM by Colin

Dear Members,

Simple Machines Forum has released a new patch to the 2.0.x line, bringing our latest release version to 2.0.15.

This patch adds both important security and general maintenance fixes to your forum, so it is imperative that you install this patch quickly.
You can view the changelog for this release, per usual, on the downloads page.

The quick summary of changes is as follows:

A security issue reported by Daniel Le Gall from SCRT SA
Various bug fix with Proxy handler
Login fixes for SSI and Maintenance mode
Various Search fixes
Email handling issue fixed when using SendTopic
Fixed SM Stat collection and added opt in/out functionality to the Admin Panel

Please see the changelog for more information.

If you are running version 2.0.14, you can update your forum to the latest version by using the package manager. As usual, 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 > Fetch Simple Machines Files (check the "Run Now" checkbox and click the "Run Now" button)).

If you use older versions of SMF, you can upgrade directly to 2.0.15 from whichever version you are currently using by using the "full upgrade" archive from the downloads 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 a version of the 2.0.x series, it is recommended that you apply the successive patches instead of using the full upgrade.

Please do not use this topic for support requests.
You will receive a much quicker and better response by posting in the 2.0.x Support Board.

If you are having problems downloading the patch from the admin panel, you can download the patch package from the upgrade patches 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:

Thank you for using SMF!

Regards,
Simple Machines Forum Team

SMF 2.1 Beta 3 Released

May 31, 2017, 09:21:59 PM by Colin

Dear Users,

Simple Machines is proud to announce the release of the 3rd Beta of SMF 2.1. This version contains many improvements over Beta 2 and also fixes many bugs that were discovered following its release.

Among the notable improvements:

Added reCAPTCHA as core feature to keep spammers away.
Upgrade.php code clean-up. Now the upgrade process should be more consistent.
RSS general improvements.
Added support for jQuery 3.x.
Modified Curve2 to improve the responsiveness of the design.
General bug fixes, code improvements, and clean-up.
Default codification will now be UTF-8.

For full details of what has changed, please see our GitHub repo.

The general installation/upgrade procedure of this Beta release remains the same, however, once you upgrade from an older version to 2.1 you cannot go back, so please take careful consideration before upgrading any live site. Have a look at Installing and Upgrading SMF in the Online Manual to find out more. You cannot upgrade to 2.1 Beta 3 via the package manager; instead you will need to carry out the Large Upgrade process. SMF 2.1 can be obtained from the download section.

Please note that because this is a beta release, translations and language strings other than English have not been finalized and may not yet be complete.

Finally, as always, this topic is not for support. Discussion and support for 2.1 can be found in the 2.1 support board.

Finally, thanks to all of the team and development contributors who have brought us one step closer to a release candidate. On behalf of the project, we appreciate the time, energy and contributions you have made.

Thank you for using SMF

Kind regards,
Simple Machines Forum Team
