What's New in phpMyChat 1.96
Highlights

- fixed a null selection bug on the calendar
- fixed a layout bug on the calendar info page
- fixed the buzz_popup page to correctly build the table

- installer/updater process improved
- improved sound notifications for entrances
- added Cokie Consent policy pop-up information to comply with EU/national cookie laws
- sending mail has been fixed; the new Sender Policy Framework (SPF) was introduced to prevent email source address spoofing and many ISPs implemented this protection, so the From: field had to be removed from email headers
- GeoIP databases updated to latest version from maxmind.com
- IE11 recognized like H browser (mozilla/gecko)
- added new feature: sound notification on new event in chat window (new chat message, user entrance, etc.) - it uses cookies
- removed option in profile for users to enable/disable sound notifications in chat (it was introduced in 1.94-RC5 but we dropped it as the cookiebeep above is enough)
- changed the 5 ip fields in the database to varchar(100) to allow IPv6 connections to the chat (Important: this is a bug fix for users being kicked out on login without any error!)
- added IPv6 support
