PhpBB 3.0.6 output

Today released a new version of phpBB, at number 3.0.6. For her running it took as many as 4 release candidates, but apparently, it was worth it - very interesting in the new version of the change.

The main changes have been caching system and anti-spam system. Due to numerous requests from phpBB users, the developers have finally added a quick response form to the topics, RSS (Atom) and the system for notifying moderators of complaints.

The noisy caching system has been changed. In the new version of the forum, you can not only choose the type of caching mechanism you need, but also disable it altogether (let me remind you that it was impossible to do this before). The caching options are now as follows:

• null (to completely disable the caching system)
• memcache
• APC
• XCache
• eAccelerator

To prevent spam attacks on the forum, the developers added plug-ins with a new, still being developed version of phpBB Ascraeus (that is, the so-called “back-port” was made):

• Classic and GD captcha (actually this is not an innovation, it was in 3.0.5)
• reCaptcha (based on recaptcha.net API by Mike Crawford and Ben Maurer)
• Q & A CAPTCHA (this is an analogue of the popular fashion AntiBot Question, based on text questions and answers)
• 3D waves (from Robert "Xore" Hetzler)

A brief and incomplete list of other innovations:

• Information about the relevance of the installed version of the script is now on the main page of the administrator section
• The display of additional fields in the user profile can now be managed in the admin section.
• For private messages are now available two options - "Reply" and "Reply to all." There used to be one combined.
• The ability of the user to delete his message, if it is the last in the subject, is now limited in time. The time is set by the administrator.
• Improved work with inactive users:
  
  • The number of users displayed on the page is configured
  • Added sorting by the number of reminders sent, by the number of messages and by the date of the last visit
  • Ability to view the messages of the selected user
  • Displays the number of reminders sent to the user
  • Display the date of the last reminder sent to the user
  
  
• You can now go to the list of unread messages in one click
• The ability to download avatars from remote sources can now be disabled
• Now you can both issue warnings forever or delete previously issued warnings.
• Email templates now follow all phpBB template rules
• When registering on the forum, the user can select the language he needs.
• The group leader can now not inherit the permissions set for his group.
• Added group for new registered users. They get into it automatically upon registration and exit when the number of messages specified by the administrator is reached. The group can be set as the default group.
