XenForo 2.0.12 Released

XenForo 2.0.12 is now available for all licensed customers to download. We recommend that all customers running previous versions of XenForo 2.0 upgrade to this release to benefit from increased stability.

This version makes a number of changes to improve compatibility with PHP 7.3.0. However, at this time, we do not recommend using PHP 7.3.0 in production due to a bug that can cause code to execute incorrectly, potentially leading to data loss. We believe this bug will be resolved in PHP 7.3.1 when it's released.

Some of the changes in XF 2.0.12 include:

• Improve PHP 7.3 compatibility.
• If available and different from the server version, grab a more detailed version for the Server environment report.
• If the $_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'] value isn't available or valid then just don't display that entry in the report, because it's mostly not essential.
• Adds some additional phrases for the "Server environment report"

• Adjust error message given when attempting to edit a user's permissions for a content type without a valid user_id.
• Standardize the locale information used by PHP.
• Use a different approach to loading icons on the add-ons list in the Admin CP. To avoid issues with multiple database connections, the icon image data is instead converted to a data URI.

• Allow non-user selectable styles to be used for the email style. Also, add several email-related style properties to allow email colors to be overridden more directly, without creating a new style.
• Implement a "notice watcher" system for bottom fixed notices. This calculates the total visible notice height in the bottom fix location and adds a footer margin to the same value so that no content can be covered by the notice(s).
• Adjust how we parse search query modifiers to be more strict. (- and + require whitespace before and none after, | requires whitespace on both sides. Don't parse doubled up modifiers.)

• Fix multiple issues that make it hard to use XF\Import\Data\AbstractEntityData
• Consistently use code paths which result in the canView method of the report entity (rather than the handler) being used.

As always, new releases of XenForo are free to download for all customers with active licenses, who may now grab the new version from the customer area.

Note: add-ons, customizations and styles made for XenForo 1.x are not compatible with XenForo 2.x. If your site relies upon these for essential functionality, ensure that a XenForo 2 version exists before you start to upgrade. We strongly recommend you make a backup before attempting an upgrade.

Current Requirements

Please note that XenForo 2.0.x has higher system requirements than XenForo 1.x.

The forthcoming XenForo 2.1.x release will have higher system requirements again (PHP 5.6).

The following are minimum requirements:

• PHP 5.4 or newer (PHP 7.2 recommended)
• MySQL 5.5 and newer (Also compatible with MariaDB/Percona etc.)
• All of the official add-ons require XenForo 2.0.

Installation and Upgrade Instructions for XenForo 2.0

Full details of how to install and upgrade XenForo can be found in the XenForo 2 Manual.

Note that when upgrading from XenForo 1.x, all add-ons will be disabled and style customizations will not be maintained. New versions of add-ons will need to be installed and customizations will need to be redone. We strongly recommended that you make a backup before attempting an upgrade. Once upgraded, you will not be able to downgrade without restoring from a backup.
