This release focuses on fixing several bugs, some of which were introduced in the previous release. In addition, several enhancements were added to improve performance and backwards compatibility with outdated software and code. A short summary highlighting important changes:
- Backwards compatibility with PHP4 installations and old coding (e.g. TYPE= in plugin.php)
- Preventing large (wide) images from breaking the website layout
- Fixed several bugs in the ‘Event calendar’ plugin which caused events to display a day before the actual event was set to occur.
- Fixed a parsing issue where the & entity would multiply. An update routine has been added to clean-up and fix installations which were exposed to this bug.
- Miscellaneous bug fixes which can be found in the changelog.
