What's New in phpBB 3.2.7
This version is a maintenance and security release of the 3.2.x branch which fixes two security issues, introduces further hardening, and resolves various issues reported in previous versions.
Notable Bug Fixes
- Cookies for domains with special chars - Added support for cookies on domains with special characters [1]
- Support Q&A plugin on MySQL 5.7 - An SQL query in the Q&A plugin failed to execute while using MySQL 5.7 [2]
- Form token in login forms - Some login forms were missing form tokens and older styles did not support logging in [1][2]
- Inability to change topic type - A missing event dispatcher caused an internal server error when changing topic types [3]
- View PM folder broken - An incorrect PM state caused an undefined index error [4]
- URL links incorrectly shortened - Links were incorrectly shortened when posted inside the [url=] BBCode [5]
Notable Changes
- Update dependencies to latest versions - Updated dependencies like Symfony and the TextFormatter to their latest versions [3][4]
- Deny installations of 3.2 on PHP 7.3 - Due to the dependencies used in phpBB 3.2 and its minimum PHP version 5.4.7, it's currently not possible to run phpBB 3.2 on PHP 7.3 [5]
Hardening
- Remove support for backup download - Removed support for downloading database backups via the ACP UI. This is to prevent the possibility of a database compromise on gaining access to a founder account [6]
