Try out the XenForo 2.3.8 Preview!

I didn't see any conflicts with my add-ons 🎉

There maybe some template changes I missed, but those should be easy & quick fixes
This is the one I'm talking about that I depend on:

Would you mind discussing this stuff in another thread? It has absolutely nothing to do with the thread topic, this thread is of huge interest to a lot of people and it is absolutely annoying to get notifications just b/c you can't stop posting stuff that clearly doesn't belong here. Thank you.
 
IIRC quite some time ago there was mention that a new editor would be included in xf2.3.8 which would fix various editor issues. Later the 2.4 HYS made clear that it would not be in 2.3.8 but in the 2.4 feature release. Quite some time has passed and I had to look it up myself.
The question about it makes sense in this regard.

I do have my doubts.

The new editor was initially planned as part of 3.0 but they decided to split style and underlying technology in two releases and announced 2.4 in September 2024, including the new editor:

While we don't yet have a full feature-set to announce, we are excited to reveal that XenForo 2.4 will feature a new rich-text editor powered by Tiptap. This was originally slated for XenForo 3.0 but it makes sense to get this into your hands sooner rather than later.

The Hys for TipTap in 2.4 was released on Dec. 19th 2024. At that time, 2.3.4 was the latest relase, so it would not have made any sense to announce a new editor for 2.3.8 (or 2.3.8 at all), let alone earlier (as 2.3 was released in July 24, so just three months before that). For one, as at that time no one would have expected an 2.3.8 to ever exist (as 2.4 would have hit the world quite a while ago based on the planning back then) and secondly as it would not make any sense to put something as massive as a new editor in a third point release, which typically is for bugfixes an very sometimes small features. So it has been clear as water for 1,5 years that the new editor is tied to 2.4.

I'd still prefer to rather learn about the issues or nun issues with 2.3.8 preview in this thread instead of other stuff.

Perfect opportunity to clutter the thread with more drivel then.
 
3.0 .. announced 2.4 in September 2024, TipTap in 2.4 Dec. 19th 2024. 2.4... At that time, 2.3.4 was for 2.3.8 (or 2.3.8 at all), as 2.3 was released in July 24, expected an 2.3.8 as... 2.4 ... as water for 1,5 years is tied to 2.4... issues with 2.3.8

Just thought I'd mention, the weather in Lincolnshire is bloody awful at the moment!
 
There'll likely be a 2.3.8 release for the add-ons.
Will you give a bit more detail about the Resource Manager and Enhanced Search? I am curious if there are any new features or notable improvements beyond compatibility updates, or if it's primarily bug fixes and compatibility with core 2.3.8 changes.

I think it would be nice to have a test with addons included as a preview on my localhost wouldn't this be better idea?
 
There are some small new features in the 2.3.8 code, but nothing crazy. It's really not a feature release. Anything where the last number changes is generally just a bug fix/maintenance release.

The add-ons didn't warrant a preview release because, well, to be honest, we hadn't actually made any changes yet prior to the preview release of XF last week, so there was really nothing to test or preview.

Any changes in the add-ons for 2.3.8 will just be minor bug fixes.
