Some of the changes in XF 2.1.6 include:
- We need to detect if an icon defined as fa includes an
faprefix, such asfabetc., and if it already includes one, don't prepend our own. - Check that we do actually have some valid content before we start working with it, and bug out if not
- Ensure we don't overwrite the rebuildDefaultData array in rebuild jobs. Additional data should be initialized in the defaultData array as normal.
- When viewing the approval queue, ensure the "Spam clean" option only displays to moderators who have permission to use the spam cleaner.
- Store the master Toggle cookie data for a set time, rather than per session (1 year). Support being able to specify the expiry date of each storage item and default it to 1 day. Fix some bugs which may have prevented entries from expiring when needed.
- Enable Facebook story.php links to embed like normal Facebook posts.
- Generally improve support for Duotone FA icons, especially in usage of addon.json.
- When moving posts into an existing thread, ensure we only change the thread's visibility if the first source post is now the target's first post.
- Fix incorrect logic in AbstractField for entity structures that may not support display grouping.
- Workaround a weird quirk where some browsers may not render a broken image placeholder if the alt/title attributes are empty.
- Add support for the theme attribute when rendering recaptcha. The value comes from the "Style type" style property in the "Color palette" group which has a light/dark value.
- Update Linkedin connected account provider to use their updated API.
- Apply proper fix to ensure the user's correct approval queue counts are displayed.
- Fix an issue that would break prepending a table prefix to table names in the database adapter.
- Reverse a change that allowed admin templates to be called from within public templates.
- Display a more coherent error message when trying to warn a user for content they have already been warned for.
- When deleting an attachment from content, prevent any upload errors.
- Add missing (and undocumented!) structured data to the DiscussionForumPosting entry for the thread view.
- Ensure that xfUniqueId() returns the new id attribute value if one was set.
- Revert a previous change related to the conversion of some non-emoji characters to images.
- Adjust styling of deleted structured list items (thread list etc) so that only the correct parts are underlined.
- In the Admin CP template editor, ensure content of <xf:js> and <xf:css> tags are highlighted appropriately.
- Prevent XF.CheckAll from updating disabled checkboxes.
- In the news feed, ensure the reaction item is consistent so that "your post" links to the actual post.
- If no error message exists when we check the permission for quick close/quick stick then give a generic no permission message.
- Further fixes to sticky form submit row positioning with relation to notices.
- In Markdown parsing, do not match a string of asterisks or underlines as valid blocks of bold or italics.
- Prevent unexpected spacing changes when editing a message in the RTE that has tables
- Support embedding IGTV URLs.
- Prevent conversation reply counts from getting out of sync due to a race condition.
- Fix mentions not always being processed correctly when a dotted capital I is present.
- When filtering bookmarks in the popup, make the "show all" link respect the currently selected label.
- Prevent double change logs when a user registration is outright rejected for spam behaviour.
- Fix potential incorrect behavior when pasting into the RTE from external sources. Improve behavior when pasting from Google Docs.
- Ensure that the RTE code editor dialog consistently automatically focuses the code editor when it is shown.
