Changes affecting third-party developers and designers
Spoiler
- Upgraded Whoops to version 2.9.1.
- Added support for web push notifications. To support these kinds of notifications, you will need to add parsemobile* methods in your Notification extensions.
- Added a $count parameter to \IPS\Content::definiteArticle/_definiteArticle(). If an integer is passed, a pluralized phrase will be used, if available. You should add pluralized strings for any __defart_* strings you've already created. The key should be in the format __defart_*_plural.
- Added constant ACP_SESSION_TIMEOUT to allow administrators to control how long AdminCP sessions are valid for.
- Added a per-application setting to hide the application on the announcement creation form (this setting's use may be expanded in the future).
- Added theme settings to control header height (desktop & mobile sizes), which are used in the existing CSS variables.
- Added version to the filename of exported apps/plugins/themes/languages.
- Added \IPS\DateTime::roundedDiff() and \IPS\DateTime::roundedDiffFromSeconds() to return a human-readable rounded diff of two datetime objects, or a diff based on a supplied number of seconds, respectively.
- Added a new 'enforceMaxLimit' option for \IPS\Form\Helper\Password elements to bypass the max 72 character limit.
- Added an option to set orderResults to FALSE for \IPS\Helpers\Form\Item instances to return results in the order the user specified.
- Added a new javascript utility method to adjust external links to force them to open in a new window: ips.utils.links.updateExternalLinks. This is called automatically on the contentChange event, but may also be called manually in situations where the contentChange event is not fired.
- Improved the extensibility of Cache/DataStore methods.
- Updated some uses of border-radius to use existing CSS variables.
- Changed template groups and locations to be case-sensitive, which fixes an issue enabling designers mode on a server using a case-sensitive file system.
- Changed the logic that controls how pagination is shown in templates. The data-role="tablePagination" element should now always exist in the table DOM; it will be shown/hidden dynamically if pagination is required after AJAX requests.
- Fixed an error that can occur when dev sync runs if you are not logged in and the application has a whatsnew.json file in its latest version folder.
- Fixed broken progress bar when enabling designers mode.
- Fixed numeric values passed to the REST API /core/members/{id} endpoint not always adjusting the property, and sometimes causing an SQL error.
- Fixed the "Upcoming Events" widget not showing when developer mode is enabled.
- Fixed an issue using the hide option for contentAction when deleting a member via the REST API.
- Fixed eq() pseudo-selector no longer being supported in theme hooks.
- Fixed required() pseudo-selector not working in theme hooks.
- Fixed \IPS\Content\Statistics not working for applications that use a database column prefix.

- Fixed an error that can occur when sessions are cleared.

- Fixed an undefined index notice parsing valid ICS feeds with no events in them.
- Fixed an inaccurate Redis log entry indicating read server used instead of write server.
- Abstracted code in \IPS\core\modules\admin\members\members::export() to make it easier to apply hooks to member list exports.
- Removed ability to reorder queries for upgrader in the developer center. Developers should manually reorder the JSON file if necessary.
- Removed the onOtherAppUninstall() method from application Uninstall extensions in favor of onOtherUninstall().
- Removed several deprecated methods and properties throughout the Suite and verified core code no longer references those methods and properties.
- Enforced the $type parameter for \IPS\Email::buildFromContent() and \IPS\Email::buildFromTemplate() with an error if the type is not specified.

- A number of caching improvements have been implemented, please make sure your pages are sending no-cache headers if you do not want them cached.
- Non-AJAX requests that retain a CSRF token in the URL with a 200 response code will now trigger a development error recommending to redirect the request or otherwise remove the CSRF token. Leaving a CSRF token in the URL while generating a page can represent a security risk if remote images (for example) are embedded on the page, as the CSRF token could be susceptible to interception by the remote party.
- Support for notification sounds in the browser has been removed. If you rely on playing sounds, you will need to implement this functionality in your application.
- Add new method was added to the IPS\Content\Item class which is called when an item is deleted. It's receiving the comment/review ids which are going to be deleted, allowing you to remove any additional cleanup calls based on the comments and reviews in this item.
- Updated the ModCP content restore (soft delete) to use the built in restore() method instead of using its own code.
- Account settings will no longer prompt for re-authentication if the account does not have a way of re-authenticating. Applies mostly to custom SSO integrations.
