XF 2.1 Welcome to XenForo 2.1 / Assorted improvements

Welcome to XenForo 2.1!

We said there would be something special accompanying the final HYS in this series for XF 2.1, and here it is. This is your first opportunity to help us put the new feature set through its paces.

We also said there would be a number of other miscellaneous changes/improvements to show you, so read on for more 👇

Admins mods and dedicated users also use it some of my own sites. It makes XF messaging much better when on the move because if it’s an important message I’ll reply much quicker and the conversation flows better.

You can use E-Mail Notification on new reply in your forum. Then use push on your Mail Software. Profit.

It’s an option, but not a scalable one. That requires using a separate dedicated email address.

I also like that with pushover it’s one tap on the notification and it automatically redirects you to safari and loads the content.

This isn't going gold this year is it?

Of course not. First of all, they are not going to release a software during XMAS. Who will provide the support, right ?

Second, there will be at least one RC build, maybe 2 or 3. But since this is not a major upgrade like 1.5 to 2.0, I bet the highest version number will be RC3.

So, my estimation is that it'll go gold no later than January -judging by the releases every tuesday.
 
I noticed that "self::SERIALIZED_ARRAY" is marked as deprecated in XF when using PHP Storm.

Any idea when or if that type will be dropped completely in 2.x?

If it's being completely dropped in 2.1, it would mean a complete fork of add-ons that use it in 2.0 and it would be nice to know when, now. ;)
 
It probably will never be removed fully. We may actually unmark it as deprecated.

It’s deprecated in the sense that we recommend JSON over serialization, but there are some fields we can just likely never remove it from. Namely the authentication data because if the format changes, the data can’t be read until it is converted, and converting that feels like risky business.
 
Thanks!

For now I'll leave the fields as they are, but in the future use JSON. At least until I can run some more exhaustive tests. :)
