Hello again,
We are pleased to announce the availability of the second release
candidate of phpBB 3.0.7 aimed at experienced users in an effort to
increase the quality of final releases.
Please scrutinise this release in-depth and report issues to the bug
tracker. Critical bugs halting the board's operation should be reported
immediately. Feel free to contact developers directly about such problems.
We recommend that international support sites update their sites to RC2,
too. We are able to provide direct support to them within our
international support sites forums.
*Mistake in code changes package for 3.0.7-RC1*
Please note there were 3 edits missing from the code changes package for
3.0.7-RC1. This was caused by a bug in our build script. The missing
edits can be found at the end of this announcement. Make sure to apply
these before the edits from RC1 to RC2.
*Tagging/Reviewing fixes*
This is very important! Please help verify fixes so that we can release
a stable final version.
Every QA team member can now mark bug fixes as verified using our
bugtracker. To mark a bugfix verified go to the bug and click "I have
verified the fix of this ticket" in the "Options" section on the right.
Of course prior to clicking you should have properly checked whether the
bug was really fixed. Comment on the respective bug if you find problems
so the fix can be corrected.
To easily get an overview over fixed bugs you can access the QA overview
page. It lists unfixed critical bugs at the top. Then a list of critical
bugs that have been fixed - these should be thorougly checked to confirm
that the problem has really been solved. And then all other bugs that
have been fixed since the last release are listed. You should focus on
the least tested bugs when choosing which one you are going to test next.
The bug overview page is located at:
http://www.phpbb.com/bugs/phpbb3/qa.php
*Language Packs and Styles*
We already gave out instructions to language pack authors to let them
update their language packs in a timely manner. The changes are provided
with the code changes package (see downloads section below). Style
authors should also download the code changes package and adjust their
styles accordingly. Please post within our Styles forums if you have
questions or encounter problems.
*New features, changes, bug fixes*
Since 3.0.7 RC1 we have made a small number of changes.
We have added two small new features:
- Add INTTEXT token type to custom bbcodes to allow non-ASCII letters in
html attributes.
- Add ability to enable quick reply in all forums.
A performance improvement and an alteration of the custom bbcode
creation for administrators have also taken place:
- Speed up topic move operation by adding an index for topic_id on the
topics track table. (Bug #56545)
- Warn users about potentially dangerous BBcodes.
And a number of bugs have been fixed:
- Fix javascript bug in the smilies ACP. (Bug #55725)
- Unify BBCode Selection across browsers. (Bug #38765)
- Allow convertors to read in configuration from files. (Bug #57265 -
Patch by Dicky)
- Fix problems with firebird by no longer using 'count' as a column
alias. (Bug #57455)
- Small language correction for the FAQ page. (Bug #57825)
- Restrict search for language/../iso.txt to folders. (Bug #57795)
- Make user_email_hash() function independent from system's
architecture. (Bug #57755)
- Correct behavior of "force_approved_state" when value is
false. (Bug #57715)
- Global announcements could not be accessed on a board using Firebird
as the database server. (Bug #57525)
- BBCode parser now uses the user object for all settings rather than
taking some from the template object (Bug #57365)
- Ensure a database connection is available before logging general
errors. (Bug #57975)
- Do not delete unrelated attachments when deleting empty forums. (Bug
#57375)
- Update: Store expected resulting file contents in cache and do not
suggest further merges if the contents match, also fixes infinite merge
loop (Bug #54075)

*IMPORTANT*
To correctly perform an update, do not forget to re-enable the PHPBB_QA
constant in your includes/constants.php file. Otherwise you are not
prompted for an update in the ACP and the automatic update will
eventually fail. :)
