Forum Core Update

This update fixes a number of bugs and issues that were found since the previous update. As this is a maintenance update, the vast majority of the focus was an increase in stability.

However, we have replaced the Flash-based attachment uploader with an HTML5-based approach. This has increased compatibility with mobile devices and removes Flash as a dependency for multiple file uploads.

Some of the changes in this update include:

• Add a CAPTCHA to account confirmation email re-sending if you've previously requested a resend recently to limit potential abuse.
• Limit the number of times you can change your email within a short period of time to limit potential abuse.
• Improved PHP 7.1 support with memory limit checks and numeric input handling.
• Allow autolinking to include links containing "[" characters.
• Allow the bounce parser to identify several other bounce message patterns.
• Maintain ICC profiles when using the Imagick image processor only if supported by Imagick.
• Move the Facebook logo sprite to be served locally as the existing URL no longer functions.
• Add some padding around the message content element to prevent characters from being cut off in certain specific cases.
• Fix sizing of the attachment thumbnail placeholder for non-image attachments when using a large thumbnail size.
• In messages, only output the "person" metadata for registered members.
• If the internal data path is a non-local path, ensure we use a local path for temporary files.
• Adjust several phrases to use the more general wording of "the site" rather than "the board".

Media Gallery Update

This update fixes several issues:

• Changes to support the new HTML5 uploader.
• Prevent an attempt to copy an image unless it has actually changed.
• Better support for transcoding video uploads on macOS.
• Add a missing index on the xengallery_comment table.

Forum Core Update:

• Disable the HTML5 uploader for older versions of Android (< 5, not using Chrome) due to incompatibilities.

• Capture errors parsing bounced emails and log them for future analysis.
• Prevent recursive calls to the image proxy by short circuiting to the final image.
• Limit the number of image proxy records removed at a time to prevent memory errors.
• Adjust multiple external calls in templates/JS to always use HTTPS.
• Prevent the likes received list from being completely blank in specific situations.
• Don't display the "log in or sign up" message on threads that have been explicitly closed.
• Fix an incorrect permission check when quoting a user that could lead to a phantom alert being created.
