Time for another beta! Beta 4 brings a collection of important bug fixes, including most RTL-related issues. There are also a few new features to help you along, which we've listed below. We recommend that all customers running previous 1.1 beta versions now upgrade to Beta 4. All licensed customers may now download the new version from the customer area. This is Beta Software Please remember that this is beta software. It contains known bugs and incomplete functionality. We do not recommend running beta software in a production environment, and support is limited at this time to questions here on the community forums. If you choose to run beta software, it is your responsibility to ensure that you make a backup of your data. We recommend you do this before attempting an upgrade. Installation and Upgrade Instructions Full details for how to install and upgrade XenForo can be found in the XenForo Manual.
Prefix Selection when Moving Threads or Posts A new JavaScript routine allows you to select the appropriate prefixes for the destination forum for your posts or threads, loading up the correct collection of prefixes when you change the destination.
Sessions from the Cache If you have defined a cache in your config file, using memcached, APC, the file cache or any of the other options, XenForo will now store its visitor session data in that cache rather than the database, saving two queries per page. On a busy site, this can be a huge performance boost. Note if you want to be sure this is enabled after beta 4 as well, add this line to library/config.php: Code: $config['cache']['cacheSessions'] = true;
IP Logging for Conversation Messages and Profile Post Comments These message types now record IP information for their authors, allowing better management of IP restrictions etc.
Conversation Message List Filtering It's now possible to filter your list of conversation messages to show only conversations started by a specified user, or including a specified user.
More Compressed JavaScript Options The (debug only) compressed JavaScript option has been extended to make the life of add-on developers easier.
Clear Server Error Log Button You can now empty the server error log with a click of a button. This is mostly helpful when you have out of date errors or the same error repeated over and over due to a known issue.
Thread Prefix for RSS Feeder The RSS feed importer now has the ability to specify a thread prefix for imported threads.
Ability to Override Database Adapter Namespace For add-on developers, it is now possible to override the namespace of the default DB adapter in order to provide your own interface functionality.
Ability to Add Users to a User Group When Banned When a user is banned, they can be added automatically to a user group of your choice for the duration of the ban.
Just a quick note that if you have a folder called 'xenforo.full' in your 'js' directory, it's safe to delete it. We have replaced that directory with js/xenforo/full.
