FluxBB is a fast, light, user-friendly forum application for your website.

Today, we release FluxBB 1.4.8!

We hope all of you had a good start into the new year. Stay healthy and stay with us - we've got some nice things planned for you this year!

As promised, we have been working on our next major version, 2.0, for the last months. We were (mostly) diligently working, and the first alpha release is not far away.

Nontheless, while not implementing new features anymore, we are still taking care of the 1.4 branch. Thus, we now have a new release for you, which fixes 20 bugs.

As always, some small enhancements have also found their way in:

• Topic links are now shown at the start of notification mails. - making it easier to jump to the topics on mobile devices.

• Added a new constant FORUM_DISABLE_STRIPSLASHES that fixes integrations with other software which also takes care of stripping slashes from user input automatically, thus stripping them twice (because FluxBB does it, too).

• Performance improvements when stripping bad characters.

Fixed bugs include:

• Posts with a large amount of newlines in a row could break the forum on some server configurations.

• Search could be tricked into examining every single post, essentially crashing large forums.

• add_field() didn't work for SQLite.

• File uploads on Windows servers were broken if magic_quotes_gpc was enabled.

• URLs ending on slashes were automatically hyperlinked, but only up to that slash, not including it.

• URLs inside image tags were incorrectly hyperlinked.

• The new auto-link BBCodes for forum, topic, url and user were accepting invalid input (non-integer IDs).

• Some minor JavaScript fixes for Internet Explorer and forms.

• New BBCodes weren't ignored in the search index.

• PHP's is_writable() mis-interprets file permissions on Windows NTFS Server

• Russia has dumped summer time.

• Some special UTF-8 characters could cause a post to be truncated at that character (MySQL-only).

You can view the full list of changes here.

As usual, downloads can be found on the download page.
Changed files and patches can be obtained on the upgrade page.

Updating to FluxBB 1.4.8 will still work if you use any prior version of FluxBB and even from PunBB 1.2/1.3.
As always, please remember to do a backup of both your files and database!

Good luck with updating and enjoy stability!
If you have any problems or spot any errors, please let us know!

And with that, back to v2.0.
