Notable changes in SMF 2.1.3

• Unicode support enhancements – SMF unicode support now matches the latest published standard, Unicode 15, published in Sept 2022. Staying current is important for proper capitalization across alphabets, and also with non-printable character detection.
• Attachments enhancement – Honor SMF-specified attachment limitations. SMF was restricting attachment uploads based on the underlying php configuration; however, given the .js approach used, this limitation did not apply.
• Attachments enhancement – Automatically delete inserted img tags when the corresponding attachments are deleted.
• Notification enhancement – Cleanup unread notifications after post approvals, after closing moderation reports, and after unlikes.
• Notification enhancement – Cleanup unread orphan alerts, created by message or topic deletions or permission changes.
• Notification enhancement – Cleanup unread quote and mention alerts if they were removed during a post edit.
• Upgrader enhancements – Issue warnings if attachment or avatar directories are not found. Also, a new option was added to allow the user to rerun the attachment conversion.
• Enhanced time zone support – SMF now supports all current time zones.
• Attachments bug – Fixed a bug where attachments might disappear with a “Not a Valid Attachment ID” message.
• Notification bug – Fixed a bug where the alert count displayed was incorrect.
• Email bug – Fixed a bug where emails with a mail type of PHP did not work properly in PHP 8.x in linux environments. (SMTP was OK.)
• Postgresql support – Fixed numerous issues causing mod installs to behave differently across Postgresql and MySQL. It is much easier now to develop a mod that supports both.
• Fixed a bug where PHP 8.1 was being persnickety and did not like implicit float to int conversions.
• Fixed a bug where the sql_mode was not being properly set in MySQL 8.x. This would result in slightly different DB query behavior across MySQL 5.x and MySQL 8.x.
• Fixed a bug where explicitly “Not Following” a topic resulted in it showing up in your unread list, and not going away…
• Improved support for spaces in URLs… Not per any RFC or spec, but SMF supported them in 2.0, so that support should have been carried forward to 2.1…
• Fixed a bug where errors appeared in the SMF error log when crawlers attempted to access now-moved avatars. During the 2.1 migration, avatars and attachments may be relocated; external crawlers referencing defunct links should not generate SMF errors.
• Fixed a bug in Postgresql syntax when deleting fulltext indexes.
• Fixed a bug where “Trying to access array offset on value of type null” showed up in the log.
• Fixed a bug where the editor would drop links if copied and pasted.
• Fixed a bug where right-to-left languages ​​could not be specified and displayed properly.
• Fixed a bug where sorting PMs did not work properly.
• Fixed a bug where the BBC url setting erroneously affected signature and topic behavior.
• Fixed a bug where hidden members were hidden from admins, too…
• Fixed a bug where the wrong icon was used for profile links in PMs.
• Fixed a bug where robot_no_index might be set incorrectly, potentially affecting SEO.
• Fixed a bug with CORS headers were not being built properly.
• Fixed a bug where custom themes might load empty styles.
• Fixed a bug where permissions were not properly retained when boards were moved. Moved boards might disappear…
• Fixed a bug with using wildcards in IP tracking.
• Fixed multiple errors with caching – better reporting of the cache engine not loading, and better handling when not getting a hit on cached info.
• Improved edits on profile info, eg, website urls too long.
• Fixed a bug where page numbers in lengthy lists might show decimals…
• Improved the message when verification questions were missing.
• Enhanced support for passwords for myBB converted users.
• Fixed an upgrader bug where 1.1 migrations might fail with Too few arguments to function smf_mysql_insert_id().
• Numerous minor enhancements and tweaks to layout.
