Software Update SMF 2.0.19

[SteveD CB500K0]

Just a bug-fix update:

• Ensures compatibility with PHP 8.1 MySQLi error mode.
• Fixes a bug where members could not download their basic profile data if RSS feeds were disabled.
• Fixes a bug where double encoded entities could appear in RSS feeds and SSI functions
• Fixes bugs related to birthdates in member profiles.
• Improves protection against race conditions when saving Settings.php
• Avoids an issue with certain versions of Chrome and Edge where viewing one page of a multi-page topic could cause unread posts on the next page to be incorrectly marked as read.
• Security improvements.

It means that it is time for donation as, Steve has been working for FREE but, running costs need to be paid for

I think the PHP 8.1 error was making me get up for a Pee in the night - thanks for the fix.

I was about to reply to Julie about the importance of the PHP 8.1 MySQLi error mode.

It is critical to the continued use (and indeed existence) of humans on this planet...


Actually, PHP 8.1 isn't even available yet. We use 7.4 so no need to worry too much about existential threats.

So it's not PHP 8.1 causing Teds Nocturia, that's OK then 😁😁😁😁
