In 2008 we announced the introduction of the phpBB wiki for development related documentation. In the past few years we also introduced several other locations which contain (development) documentation. Over time more and more documentation about Extensions and phpBB development moved over to these new locations.Taking this and the fact that it's not feasible to maintain all of these locations into account, we have decided to merge the wiki into the other documentation locations.All development related documentation can now be found in the development docs on area51: https://area51.phpbb.com/docs/dev/master/index.html Extensions development documentation is part of the development documentation, and can be found at https://area51.phpbb.com/docs/dev/maste ... index.html And as before, all user documentation can be found on https://www.phpbb.com/support/docs/, which includes the User Guide and the knowledge base.We have added redirects to important pages from the wiki to the new locations for these articles.If you want to contribute to the development documentation, or to the user guide, you can create a pull request on https://github.com/phpbb/documentation If you have any questions or comments, we'll be happy to address them in the discussion topic.The phpBB TeamStatistics: Posted by Paul — Sun Apr 03, 2022 6:45 pm — Replies 0 — Views 964

Greetings everyone,We are sorry to announce the immediate release of phpBB 3.3.7 “The Book of Bertie, Part Two” to address an issue some users experienced when updating to 3.3.6. Unfortunately the issue wasn't noticed during testing and has only surfaced after the release of 3.3.6.The fixed issue may have resulted in role-based group or user permissions being accidentally removed. As a result of that, some users were no longer able to see forums when visiting phpBB. If you have already updated to phpBB 3.3.6, please check your tables for phpbb_acl_groups and phpbb_acl_users tables for changes compared to before the update to 3.3.6 (replace the phpbb_ prefix with your table prefix).All other changes remain the same as in phpBB 3.3.6, so please check out the phpBB 3.3.6 announcement for important news about new features and changes to the naming of update packages.The full list of changes is available in the changelog file within the docs folder contained in the release package. You can find the key highlights of this release below and a list of all issues fixed on our tracker at https://tracker.phpbb.com/issues/?filter=15991The packages can be downloaded from our downloads page.If you have any questions or comments, we'll be happy to address them in the discussion topic.- The phpBB TeamStatistics: Posted by Marc — Thu Mar 17, 2022 8:08 pm — Replies 1 — Views 717
Greetings everyone,We are pleased to announce the release of phpBB 3.3.6 “The Book of Bertie”. This version is a maintenance release of the 3.3.x branch which introduces support for SVG and WebP images in ranks, smilies, and topic icons, as well as improved performance of the phpBB native search engine. It also resolves various issues reported in previous versions.The fixes include, among others, the topic selection not properly working on Moderator Control Panel (MCP) pages and resolved issues with double-escaping of config data inserted into the database.We also introduced further hardening in the form of longer random strings for the activation keys and resetting the login keys after a password change.In addition to these, we have decided to rename the Automatic Update to Advanced Update. This was done in order to more clearly state that this is no longer the recommended update method for phpBB installations without changes to core files. The downloads page now features an “Update” tab with instructions on how to update your board the recommended way.The full list of changes is available in the changelog file within the docs folder contained in the release package. You can find the key highlights of this release below and a list of all issues fixed on our tracker at https://tracker.phpbb.com/issues/?filter=15990The packages can be downloaded from our downloads page.The development team thanks everyone who contributed code to this release: rxu, 3D-I, Dark❶, Arshid, Christian Schnegelberger, DSR!, MichaIng, MikirIf you have any questions or comments, we'll be happy to address them in the discussion topic.- The phpBB TeamStatistics: Posted by Marc — Tue Mar 15, 2022 6:54 pm — Replies 2 — Views 1013
Greetings everyone,We are pleased to announce the release of phpBB 3.3.5 “Ich bin ein Bertie”. This version is a maintenance release of the 3.3.x branch which introduces a new helper function lang_js() for twig templates and resolves various issues reported in previous versions.The fixes include, among others, further improvements on PHP 8 compatibility as well as some issues with migrations when upgrading or converting a board to the latest version of phpBB. In addition to that, some issues with the database handling for PostgreSQL, e.g. during backups, were also resolved.We also introduced a bit of hardening in the form of disallowing specific UTF8 whitespace characters with zero or near zero width in usernames. These characters could cause some usernames to be confused with each other and hence we decided to specifically filter these.The full list of changes is available in the changelog file within the docs folder contained in the release package.
