FUDforum 2.6.7

FUDforum 2.6.7 was released on 18 October 2004. This release is no longer supported. Please upgrade to FUDforum 3.0.0 ASAP.

RC1

The process of making a release is being started once more. This release candidate includes a few bug fixes as well as few small feature improvements.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed file locking/unlocking.

RC2

Yet another release candidate in the 2.6.7 series. This release bumps the required PHP version to 4.3.0+ from 4.2.0+. This is done in response to various vulnerabilities in the 4.2 series and the fact that 4.3.0 has been out for almost 2 years and there is no reason for older versions of PHP to be used. This release also addresses the bug on Redhat/Fedora systems where the path order on opendir() is messed up, and with 4.3.0+ code we can use a better glob().

Changes:

• Updated Polish & French translations.
• Fixed possible query failure when search string does not contain any valid words.
• Added configurable NNTP import limit.
• Fixed harcoded tab with in threaded topic list.
• Use faster extension_loaded() instead of function_exists for module checks.
• glob() replaced readdir()/opendir()/closedir()
• Removed no longer needed function availability checks.
• Fix a bug that prevent proper theme from being rebuilt on template/text change in admin control panel.
