SMF 1.1.11 released

Simple Machines announces the release of SMF 1.1.11, addressing multiple vulnerabilities found in SMF 1.1.10. Also for those still using the SMF 1.0.x branch, an upgrade to 1.0.19 was released. We strongly recommend that all users upgrade as soon as possible.

Upgrade automatically by visiting your administration center, where a notice will be displayed prompting you to upgrade. Click the link, confirm the changes and your forum will be up to date again. Additionally, you can upgrade using the package manager by downloading the attached patch, uploading it to the package manager, and applying it as prompted.

New announcement: SMF 2.0 Release Candidate 3 is out!

Hello all,

We are pleased to announce the immediate release of SMF 2.0 RC3 to the public. This version marks the third release candidate for 2.0, including about 350 new entries in the change log, consisting mostly of bug fixes, interface tweaks and fine-tuning of the new Curve theme.

We strongly recommend all users of earlier development releases to upgrade to this release, for it contains several security fixes.

While we are confident that there are no major problems with this release, we want to remind you that it is still not to be considered stable software. We do not recommend its use in live environments and if you are not comfortable with using this release candidate, we advise you to wait until the release of the final version before using the 2.0 line.

Highlights of this release include:
* Several security-related fixes.
* Better compatibility with RTL languages.
* Added curvy headers to loads of tables throughout SMF for the best Curve experience.
* Fine-tuned conversation view in the personal messages section.
* Improved read tracking of topics; e.g. topics are now marked as read by pages, to allow easier resuming of reading.
* Several tweaks to the WYSIWYG editor; now automatically disabled on mobile devices.
* Post screens (new topic, etc) are center aligned again.
* Buttons are now aligned much more consistently throughout SMF.
* Row color alternation to most of the tables in the administrative areas.
* Redesigned profile statistics centre.
* Fixed install and upgrade script for PostgreSQL.
* Updated help section.
* Revamped SSI examples page.
* Rephrasing of several error messages.
* Improvements to the package manager's archive extraction algorithm.
* Toggling of full size versions of resized images.
* Altered styling for quotes and code blocks.

Those interested in the detailed changelog may like to download it from our download page.

Finally - please do not use this topic for any  support requests. You will get a much more prompt response by visiting  the relevant support board!

New announcement: Twitter Topics - Important Update

If you are currently using Twitter Topics features you will have to update the settings under Twitter Topic Settings in the admin area and click the twitter signin button to link your accounts.

We have updated our system to support OAuth for Twitter which will be required for everyone to use by August 16, 2010. If you do not upgrade by then the twitter topics for topics will not worked till you have it linked.

Benefits are that we are no longer storing your username and password for twitter which will make it more secure and the OAuth unlocks more potential api uses.
