For Administrators

Added

  • New session handler for the session user tracking method: Database storage. Improves performance for concurrent requests in a session.
  • Option to allow users to delete their own accounts (#4065)
  • Updated social login providers (#3492)
  • Basic per-item search engine robots handling added to News and Pages
  • Support for automated Git sync with a theme repo
  • Theme preferences import/export added to 'database' admin area.
  • New admin permission to grant access to the theme manager
  • Approve all comments has been added as an option.
  • Added Rich Textarea (WYSIYWG) for EUF (#1775)
  • Support for hosting providers that disable PHP readfile() (#3528)
  • A PHP module check (similar to the one during installation) has been added to the PHPInfo page to quickly detect any missing modules after one migrates e107 to another PHP configuration.
  • download plugin:
    • Added $host variable support to Downloads » Protection » NGINX secure_link_md5 (#4010)
  • forum plugin:
    • Added minimal validation when creating new forum
    • Added new 'Forum icon' field (#3733)
    • Added confirmation dialog when deleting forum topic or post (#718)
    • Added cache for new forum posts menu

Changed

  • The default user tracking method for new installations has been changed to session (was cookie). The cookie user tracking method is expected to be removed in a future release.
  • The database handler PDO is now used by default. mysqli is available as a fallback.
  • The social login flow has changed substantially. (#4099)
    • ?route=system/xup/signup was removed because ?route=system/xup/login now signs up and logs in via social login.
    • The return URL (query back) is no longer base64-encoded.
    • Some provider names have changed because the library (Hybridauth) has renamed them. These changes are accounted for in a database migration.
    • signup_shortcodes generates login buttons somewhat differently now.
    • The page ?route=system/xup/test is no longer enabled by default.
  • The core integrity image (previously ./e107_admin/core_image.php, now ./e107_system/core_image.phar) has a new backwards-incompatible format. As it is now a binary file, administrators upgrading e107 over FTP should ensure that they are using binary transfer mode. (Issue reference)
