phpBB 3.0.12 released

We are pleased to announce the release of phpBB “Richard ‘Ducky’ Foote” 3.0.12. This version is a maintenance release fixing various bugs but not adding any new features. We have updated the list of bots/spiders, further improved compatibility with recent PHP versions, and support MySQL fulltext search on InnoDB for those MySQL versions which provide it.The custom BBCode token LOCAL_URL has been modified to operate closer to its description. RELATIVE_URL token. Moderators are no longer exempt from post approval, instead the permission “Can post without approval” is applied as it is for all other users. We now reject very long password inputs immediately to save on resources during password checks.

We urge you to update your installation as soon as possible. Our support team will only support phpBB 3.0.12, updates to phpBB 3.0.12 and conversions to phpBB 3.0.12. Submissions to our trackers for older versions will not be accepted, please make sure you update before you submit a bug report.

If you use a language pack other than the default “English [GB]”, you should check our downloads section, an update may already be available.
