Post [phpBB News] phpBB3 Release Candidate 8 (RC8) released

Hello,

We are very pleased to announce the availability of the phpBB3 RC8 package. This package fixes some critical bugs.
Please note that we urge you to update - we only support the latest version here.

RC8 has seen some improvements as well as fixing some critical bugs. Some important fixes are for example:
  • [Fix] Fixed MSSQL related bug in the update system
  • [Fix] Mitigating different realpath() handling between PHP versions (fixing confirm box redirects)
  • [Fix] Fix signature editing - ability to remove signature (Bug #14820)
  • [Fix] Send correct activation key by forcing reactivation for inactive user (Bug #14819)
  • [Fix] Open private message notification (Bug #14773)
  • [Fix] Fixing false new private message indicator (Bug #14627)
  • [Fix] Let newly activated passwords work if users were converted (Bug #14787)
  • [Fix] Allow alternative text for styled buttons if images turned off, but CSS staying on
  • [Change] Do not assign converted votes to the first option in a vote.
  • [Fix] Use correct RFC 2822 date format in emails (Bug #15042)
  • [Fix] Require founder status for some actions on founder-only groups (Bug #15119)
  • [Change] Some improvements to the caching of avatars
  • [Change] Set template recompilation to be disabled by default. All mod and style authors and all those who want to modify their styles should enabled it after installation.
  • [Change] Disable debug mode. All mod and style authors should enable DEBUG and DEBUG_EXTRA.
  • [Fix] Check error reporting level for all error level. This fixes a problem for hosts having manipulated the error handler. (Bug #14831)
  • [Feature] Constant PHPBB_DB_NEW_LINK introduced which can be used to force phpBB to create a new database connection instead of reusing an existing one if the dbms supports it (Bug #14927)
  • [Fix] Automatic URL parsing no longer allows dots in the schema but can parse URLs starting after a dot (Bug #15110)
  • [Fix] Recache Moderators when copying permissions. (Bug #15384)
  • [Change] Do not allow size=0 bbcodes (font-size of 0)
Please refer to the changelog for a complete list of fixes since RC7:
