ElkArte 1.1.9

Today, we are pleased to release ElkArte 1.1.9. This is the 10th release in the 1.1 line.

This release addresses any remaining compatibility issues with PHP 8.1. In addition to full PHP 8.x support, bugs were identified and fixed, enhancements to existing functionality was added and a several new features were added. Overall this is a large update intended to bridge the gap between the 1.1 and upcoming 2.0 line.

New Features and Enhancements

  • Quick Quote allows you to select text in a post and quote just that selection when making a reply.
  • Quote Show More is a quote display limiting function. Should someone quote a long post, only a portion is shown unless the users selects the "show more" text that is overlayed on the quote. This length is configurable in the admin panel.
  • Webp support for attachments and avatars.
  • Open graph meta data and schema.org micro data, to help with SEO, is generated and inserted in the page output.
  • Nested Quote Depth level vs previous behavior of yes/no.
  • Save avatars as and thumbs as PNG option has been removed. The system will now detect if the image has transparency and save as appropriate (Webp or if not enabled then PNG or JPG)

Refer to the release notes on the forum for a complete list of improvements, updates and fixes. https://www.elkarte.net/community/index.php?topic=6030.0

Upgrading

  • If you are running ElkArte 1.1.8, simply download the patch file and install it with the package manager.
  • If you are running a previous 1.1 version then you have two options
    • Install each of the patch files in sequence until you get patched to 1.1.9
    • Or you can use the full install package and overwrite your existing files, then run the updater yourforum/install/update.php (which should come up automatically). If you choose to use the full package it is strongly advised to uninstall any addons, do your upgrade, then reinstall the most recent version of the addons.
  • If you are running a 1.0.x version then you must use the full install package. Overwrite your existing files, then run the updater yourforum/install/update.php (which should come up automatically). You must uninstall any addons, before do your upgrade, then reinstall the most recent version of the addons.

Be sure to check for updates to any addons you are running, many have been updated to support new 1.1.9 features.

This release follows our semantic version (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH), meaning that third-point (x.x.X) releases should contain backwards-compatible bug fixes and enhancements, so for the most part you will not find major new features in this release. Major new features will be reserved for second point versions (x.X.x).

Full Changelog: v1.1.8...v1.1.9
