Bug Fix: The category value from the URL was used unescaped in a database query on the category topic list (security) - Bug Fix: Adding a forum category and saving forum settings did not check the user owns the profile (security) - Bug Fix: The category modify and transfer forms were saved without form validation, so a modified category title or description was not checked (security) - Bug Fix: Topics and categories could be watched without access to the forum, and watch emails (with the post text) went to users who could no longer view the forum (security) - Bug Fix: A reply used the forum profile ID sent with the form instead of the topic's forum for the locked topic and blocked user checks (security) - Bug Fix: Read only categories, the "allow private profiles" setting, forum access and pinning/locking were only enforced by hiding buttons, not when the topic or reply was saved (security) - Bug Fix: A topic opened under another profile's forum URL was shown there, with that profile's privacy and settings - it now redirects to the topic's own forum (security) - Bug Fix: A topic solution was saved as sent instead of being one of the configured solutions (security) - Bug Fix: Setting a topic solution could report the wrong color, and a solution line without a color showed an empty option - Bug Fix: The last poster's password hash, email address and account keys were stored with the forum category info - existing categories are cleaned up on upgrade (security) - Bug Fix: On the site search results page the forum turned off the quota check for the searches of every module - Bug Fix: The forum RSS feed listed posts from the forums of private profiles, and a profile's feed dropped the other feed conditions (security) -

Bug Fix: Deleting a reply could set the category "last post" info to the wrong user - Bug Fix: When no profile was private, forum search results for non-admin users dropped the posts of profiles 1 to 9 -

Bug Fix: Two categories whose names gave the same URL (e.g. "Support" and "Support!") could be created, and a duplicate or too long category name ended on a database error page - Bug Fix: Reply attachments were saved even when the quota does not allow attachments, and topic forms and saves checked the attachment quota of different profiles - Bug Fix: New topic emails promised an unsubscribe link and showed none, contained HTML, and a forum owner watching a category got two emails per new topic - Bug Fix: Quoting refused the forum owner on followers-only profiles, failed without the Followers module, and replaced the text already typed in the reply box - Bug Fix: The user activity list showed posts from forums the viewer cannot see, and the active users count counted a user on two IP addresses twice - Bug Fix: Setting a solution did not update the solution icon, and a solution name with an apostrophe could not be selected - Bug Fix: Old category URLs returned "not found" after categories were turned off instead of redirecting to the topic - Bug Fix: Viewing an older topic moved the category "last viewed" time back, so other topics showed as new again -

Bug Fix: "New posts" flags on topics and categories could be wrong: "mark all topics read" in one category could mark or unmark topics on the forum index and New Posts, a page without unread topics marked the whole category read (also unread topics on later pages), "mark all read" on the forum index did nothing for a user without earlier visits, a topic opened from a link (email, search) kept its flag in the cached topic list, and topics in a category created after the user's first visit were shown as read - Bug Fix: HTML inside a BBCode [code] block in a forum post was shown even when the poster's quota does not have the BBCode formatter (requires Jamroom Core 7.1.0) - Bug Fix: An edited post kept its old text and title on the timeline until the cache expired (on PHP 8, and with the Redis cache) -
