XenForo Announcements

We are happy to announce that the 2.0.0 Beta 7 releases of XenForo and our official add-ons are now available to all customers with active licenses. This release continues to focus on bug fixes and other small improvements. Once again, please pay attention to the following warnings: XenForo 2.0 is a significant upgrade from 1.x. Add-ons and customizations made for XenForo 1.x will not be compatible. Style customizations will need to be redone and will not be maintained after the upgrade. We strongly recommend you make a backup before attempting an upgrade. This is beta software. It is not officially supported. We do not recommend running it in production. All customers with active licenses may now download the new version from the...

Much of this information will be familiar to those who were following the development process over at the XF2 Demo Forums, but this is something of a ‘greatest hits’ list of some of the important changes and improvements to XenForo since the 1.x generation. Greatly-enhanced mobile-friendly style The new XenForo 2 style is the first thing you will notice in XF2. The entire style has been redesigned with a fresh new appearance, but also with mobile browsing at the forefront of the design. When the viewport shrinks, on-page content shrinks, shifts and reorganises itself automatically to optimise the browsing experience for small displays. A sticky header automatically activates when the window is scrolled, allowing the most important...

We are happy to announce that the 2.0.0 Beta 6 releases of XenForo and our official add-ons are now available to all customers with active licenses. This release continues to focus on bug fixes and other small improvements. It does also expand the import system and framework, though this area is still a work in progress. Additionally, the XenForo Media Gallery add-on has enabled new implementations for media navigation (via a "film strip" below the media) and embedding media from within the rich text editor. Once again, please pay attention to the following warnings: XenForo 2.0 is a significant upgrade from 1.x. Add-ons and customizations made for XenForo 1.x will not be compatible. Style customizations will need to be redone and...

We are happy to announce that the 2.0.0 Beta 5 releases of XenForo and our official add-ons are now available to all customers with active licenses. For the most part, this release continues to focus on bug fixes and making adjustments to avoid possible confusion. However, this release does include the new framework for importers. This is still a work in progress and does not allow full importation from any other package at this time. This framework is included primarily so that add-on developers that intend to implement importers can understand how the new approaches work. Elements of this importer framework may be changed in future beta releases. (Note that the import system is still only available in debug mode.) Once again, please...

Today, we are pleased to release XenForo 1.5.15. This release fixes a number of bugs and issues that were found since the previous release. As this is a maintenance release, the vast majority of the focus was an increase in stability. Some of the changes in this release include: Add support for PHP 7.2. Add beta support for importing from phpBB 3.2 and IPB 4.2. Update our Facebook API calls to use version 2.10. Fix an issue where email change notices would not be sent as expected when changing your email address. When loading news feed entries via Ajax, ensure that additional CSS and JS is loaded correctly. When hard deleting a profile post comment, ensure that the related deletion log and moderation queue records are removed as well...

We are happy to announce that the 2.0.0 Beta 4 releases of XenForo and our official add-ons are now available to all customers with active licenses. For the most part, this release continues to focus on bug fixes and making adjustments to avoid possible confusion. To this end, the system that controls editing custom thread fields has been changed. It now uses a user group-based system like prefixes (rather than a basic user/moderator editable choice). This should provide more customizability and reduce confusion over who can edit a specific field. If you are upgrading from a previous beta release, please double check the "editable by user groups" value for any custom thread fields you have added. Once again, please pay attention to...

XenForo Media Gallery 1.1.14 is a maintenance release for our media gallery add-on. We recommend all customers running XenForo Media Gallery to upgrade to this release to benefit from increased stability. This release fixes several issues: Display the correct default order on the watched albums page. Reduce memory usage while applying a watermark to an image. Fix issue which prevented Metacafe thumbnails from downloading. Add og:image:width and og:image:height properties to the Open Graph metadata. For the full list of bug fixes, see the Resolved Media Gallery Bugs forum. The following templates have been changed: xengallery_category_view xengallery_meta_data XenForo Media Gallery requires XenForo 1.5.0 or later. Customers with...
