phpBB 3.0.5 released

by Acyd Burn » Sun May 31, 2009 4:58 pm
Hello,

We are very pleased to announce the availability of the phpBB "quite furry" 3.0.5 package. This release fixes numerous bugs since the 3.0.4 release, corrects style issues, fixing one very minor security bug as well as increasing performance and scalability again. We also decided to add a few new minor features.

New features and important changes are:
Added and refined CAPTCHA options to better protect against new version of CAPTCHA crackers.
Added an option to the registration screen to allow users to refresh the displayed CAPTCHA.
Performance improvements for native fulltext search.
Added a new search option. The admin can define the maximum number of words allowed to search for. This option gives control about the maximum search load.
Search indexing should no longer stall for some installations.
Conflicting files are able to be downloaded now within the automatic updater for manual inspection.
The database updater now checks for an incompatible database schema in case the database version got updated. The admin will be notified about possible solutions and repair scripts.
We now set the connection encoding for MySQL versions 4.1.0 to 4.1.2. This may fix some conversion issues with special characters.
Language pack authors now see errors/notices within their language pack if they enabled DEBUG_EXTRA.
Flash files now display again after update to flash player 10.

Please note that we urge you to update. phpBB 3.0.5 has seen a lot of bug fixes, some being quite important for a smooth operation of your forums. With this release our support team will only give support for phpBB 3.0.5, updates to phpBB 3.0.5 and conversions to phpBB 3.0.5. Submissions to our trackers for older versions will not be accepted, please make sure you update/upgrade before you submit a bug report.

If you use a different language pack than the one provided with the download head to our language packs download section. You may find already updated language packs for your language.

Sembra un parto

[Darkman]

Ho visto che in fondoalla pagina sono indicate le Query, ma devo essere sincero...

Xome deve interpretare un normale utente queste informazioni?

[Silver Surfer]

In effetti servono più all'admin, specialmente se hostato su server con database a query limitate, ad esempio su Altervista.
La velocità può servire come termine di paragone, ad esempio se installi mod che potrebbero rallentare la board.

[Darkman]

Un campanellod'allarme allora.

Per fare un esmpio pratico, quale è la soglia minima ottimale e quale quella di allarme?

E il Gzip?

Un campanellod'allarme allora.

Per fare un esmpio pratico, quale è la soglia minima ottimale e quale quella di allarme?

E il Gzip?

la soglia minima non esiste, parlando di velocità, quella dipende essenzialmente dall'host che ti ospita: ad esempio voi con SOS PC avete dei refresh molto veloci già di base, ma se ad esempio la index la apri con 0,65s e la stessa index con TagBoard la apri in 1,215s, puoi valutare la perdita di velocità che la TagBoard ti ha comportato.

Il Gzip è la possibilità nativa che ti offre phpbb3 di comprimere i contenuti del forum al fine di rendere meno esose le richieste server;
attenzione però che molti host hanno già in dotazione una cosa simile ( ad esempio altervista già comprime i contenuti per conto suo) quindi potresti in certi casi addirittura provocare dei rallentamenmti involontari attivandola.
Io la tengo disattivata, come puoi constatare.

[Darkman]

L'avevo notato il valore nullo.
Quindi untermometro del forum comparativa in assoluto e relativamente nel tempo e con altri hosting.
Adesso mi è chiaro lo scopo, per l'attuazione ci vuole pratica e competenza, prima o poi ci arriverò, spero.

[Silver Surfer]

per attuarlo questo controllo (o debug) richiede solo l'eliminazione di due slash dalla riga di commento presente nel config.php
Roba da un secondo netto.
