Released 2x XenForo 2.1.12 Released Upgrade | XenForo 2.1 ENXF 2.1.12

Some of the changes in XF 2.1.6 include:

• We need to detect if an icon defined as fa includes an fa prefix, such as fab etc., and if it already includes one, don't prepend our own.
• Check that we do actually have some valid content before we start working with it, and bug out if not
• Ensure we don't overwrite the rebuildDefaultData array in rebuild jobs. Additional data should be initialized in the defaultData array as normal.
• When viewing the approval queue, ensure the "Spam clean" option only displays to moderators who have permission to use the spam cleaner.
• Store the master Toggle cookie data for a set time, rather than per session (1 year). Support being able to specify the expiry date of each storage item and default it to 1 day. Fix some bugs which may have prevented entries from expiring when needed.
• Enable Facebook story.php links to embed like normal Facebook posts.
• Generally improve support for Duotone FA icons, especially in usage of addon.json.
• When moving posts into an existing thread, ensure we only change the thread's visibility if the first source post is now the target's first post.
• Fix incorrect logic in AbstractField for entity structures that may not support display grouping.
• Workaround a weird quirk where some browsers may not render a broken image placeholder if the alt/title attributes are empty.

• Ensure that xfUniqueId() returns the new id attribute value if one was set.
• Revert a previous change related to the conversion of some non-emoji characters to images.
• Adjust styling of deleted structured list items (thread list etc) so that only the correct parts are underlined.
• In the Admin CP template editor, ensure content of <xf:js> and <xf:css> tags are highlighted appropriately.
• Prevent XF.CheckAll from updating disabled checkboxes.
• In the news feed, ensure the reaction item is consistent so that "your post" links to the actual post.
• If no error message exists when we check the permission for quick close/quick stick then give a generic no permission message.
• Further fixes to sticky form submit row positioning with relation to notices.
• In Markdown parsing, do not match a string of asterisks or underlines as valid blocks of bold or italics.
• Prevent unexpected spacing changes when editing a message in the RTE that has tables
• Support embedding IGTV URLs.

• Ensure favicon / title alert count indicator still displays for counts greater than 999.
• When trying to find matching transactions when processing payments, ensure we limit it to transactions from the same provider.

• Force invisible reCaptcha to be visible on the login form. Creates a minor BC break in all Captcha classes that will need to be observed by any third-party captcha providers
• Reduce number of queries on the node moderator lists with a new getFullNodeListCached method.
• Update the xf_thread_read table after a thread merge to reflect the earliest read date for each source thread for each user, so that unread posts from source threads are not marked as read when they are merged into a destination thread whose original content has itself already been read

• Fix timestamp issues after timezone/DST changes
• When loading recently used smilies/emoji, prioritize smilies over emojis when there are conflicting shortcodes. (This may still lead to the incorrect icon being shown, but only when the conflicting emoji is inserted instead of the smilie.)

XenForo 2.1.1 is now available for all licensed customers to download. We recommend that all customers running previous versions of XenForo 2.1 upgrade to this release to benefit from increased stability.

We have also made some improvements to the importer framework. Notably it is now possible to perform a multi-process import in order to make better use of multi-core processors. If you run an import via the CLI and you add the --processes option with a value greater than 1, then multiple PHP processes will be used to perform the import, instead of a single CPU core being used as is the PHP default. Your results may vary, but with the number of processes set to equal the number of physical cores on a sufficiently powerful server, you should notice a significant increase in performance.

You can also run your import command with the new --finalize option which will run the finalize stage automatically after the data import has finished.

While we're talking about importers we should also point out that we are today also releasing XenForo Importers 1.2.0 with a new "Invision Community Forums" importer, XenForo Media Gallery 2.1.1 which reintroduces a number of importers originally included in XFMG 1.x and XenForo Resource Manager 2.1.1 which includes an XFRM to XFRM importer. See below for more information.

If you are upgrading from XenForo 2.1.0, please be aware that there is a new option called "Convert Markdown-style content to BB code" which is now disabled by default. If you would like to use Markdown-style formatting in your messages, you will need to enable this option first.

The following public templates have had changes:

• app_nav.less
