Today, after a refreshingly short beta and release candidate phase, we are excited to announce that XenForo 2.2.0 is now prepared, seasoned, baked and served, replacing XenForo 2.1.11 as our primary supported XenForo version.
This release adds a collection of great new features to XenForo, including the ability to repurpose forums as article repositories, a new way to encourage guest users to register, a progressive web app and a completely redesigned rich text editor. Check out the following list for some highlights:
- Forum and thread types system
- Updated rich text editor
- User profile banners
- Username change requests
- Search forums
- Forum SEO controls
- Writing before registering support
- Progressive web app
- Activity summary emails
- Style archive import and export
- REST API additions
- Profile post attachments
This is not an exhaustive list of what's new in 2.2, and you can read more about the above and other new changes/improvements features in the Have you seen...? forum.
We have also added preliminary support for the upcoming major release of PHP 8.0.
