Software Update Tonight

[Scott Greczkowski]

Got some free time tonight so I am going to upgrade our forum software to the latest version.

The upgrade should only take a few minutes. And we should only be down for a minute or two. (hopefully)

Here are the updates.

Some of the changes in XF 2.3.7 include:

• Escape select input option labels
• Improve supported EXIF data when client-side image resizing is enabled
• Allow fetching forum prefixes even without node permissions
• Normalize entity manager repository cache keys
• Fix IPv6 binary to string expansion
• Fix appearance of member tooltip on recent Safari versions
• Use text structured data field for DiscussionForumPosting content
• Require confirmation for linking connected accounts
• Suppress logging of normal connected account exceptions
• Clear site cache data when logging out
• Move XF.SolutionEditClick into action.js to resolve dependency issues
• Fix carousel margin on RTL languages
• Expand global email template parameters
• Adjust wording of account approval phrases
• Improve typing of repository find methods
• Fix issue with missing verbosity when casting collections to webhook results.
• Avoid logging errors when IndexNow is having intermittent issues
• Delete related user alerts when a trophy is deleted
• Add support for viewing and revoking a user's authorised applications from the admin panel
• Handle nulls and empty-evaluated strings properly
• Detect Google Inspection Tool crawler
• No longer create user fields by default during install.
• Fix manual video thumbnail generation on iOS
• Remove legacy Imagick GIF optimization technique
• Display search suggestions properly when results contain guest content
• Fix lift ban link on ban edit page
• Render all activity summary display values in the user language
• Set default Accept-Language header in outgoing HTTP requests
• Allow overriding avatar usernames when a user is specified
• Fix generated entity type hints for JSON columns

I will be starting in a few minutes. You will know when I am doing it as the system will show that the upgrade is in progress.

WHEW!!!

I'll be OK now.

Our ISP changed our control panel where I can do snapshots. Now I can only do Offline Snapshots which means the server is powered off while doing a snapshot.

I don't want to shut the server off. This is a simple update with no major changes. But with that said I AM going to do a quick backup of the database just in case. While the database backup is being done there may be some slowdown of the system.

I am starting the backup now.

Ok update complete.

Now I will be upgrading a number of add ons that were updated for this version, while I am working some thiings may be odd for a second or two. But all should be ok.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Ok all add ons are updated as well.

Software update complete!

I'm hoping this one improves. I hasn't been the same for me since the last upgrade.

Fixed - Guest content may prevent search suggestions from being displayed

$iconHtml = null; $templater = \XF::app()->templater(); if ($user) { $iconHtml = $templater->func('avatar', [ $user, 'xxs', false, ['href' => ''], ]); } return [ 'text' => $text, 'url' => $url, 'iconHtml' => $iconHtml, 'desc' => $desc, ]...
