XenForo 2.2.12 and Add-On Updates Released

XenForo 2.2.12 Released​

XenForo 2.2.12 is now available for all licensed customers to download. We strongly recommend that all customers running previous versions of XenForo 2.2 upgrade to this release to benefit from increased stability.

We're pleased to announce the introduction of two new features available in XenForo 2.2.12.

New CAPTCHA provider: Cloudflare Turnstile​

In September, Cloudflare Turnstile was announced. You may have noticed that we quickly implemented this into the software and it has been running here now for a little while.

While on the surface this may seem like "just another CAPTCHA" option, we feel that Cloudflare has gotten a lot of things right in its approach to this product that is missing from many other providers including HCaptcha and Google reCAPTCHA. It's a much better experience for your users, respects your users privacy and with XF 2.2.12 also provides more granular logging in the Cloudflare dashboard so you can see analytics about where in the software a CAPTCHA is being used.

We encourage you to read more about Cloudflare Turnstile on their blog and consider signing your site up, for free, right here or if you are an existing Cloudflare user, get started in your Cloudflare dashboard.

Advanced cookie consent system​

Starting with XF 2.2.12 you will be able to enable a new "Advanced" cookie consent system. This enables your users to have much more granular control over the specific cookies that are set, the purpose of each cookie and prevents certain cookies from being set at all until explicit consent is given.

As ever, this system is also extendable by add-on developers so that cookies set by an add-on can be appropriately categorised and also require consent before certain functionality is available.

This is not enabled by default and should currently be considered a Beta feature. If you wish to enable it, you can do so by searching for the cookieConsent option in your Admin control panel and setting the option to "Advanced". If you have feedback or further suggestions, please post a new thread in the XenForo suggestions forum, or if you notice any issues, please post a new thread in the Bug reports forum.

If you are a XenForo Cloud customer, your upgrade will be scheduled automatically. For self-hosted customers, read on...
