XenForo 1.5 End of Life Reminder

As we first notified you back in December 2018, XenForo 1.5 is now considered a legacy product and is no longer in active development. As such, we ended support and upgrades for it back in May 2019, but committed to releasing security updates, should issues arise, until 31st December 2019.

That time is soon upon us so, once again, we want to take this opportunity to remind you that now is a good time to begin planning your upgrade to the latest version of XenForo 2.1 in order to continue benefiting from support and updates, if you haven't done so already.

With the release of XenForo Importers 1.3.0 (see above), we no longer recommend using XenForo 1.5 as a viable migration path to XenForo 2.1 and the XenForo Importers add-on for XenForo 2.1 should now be used instead.

Some of the changes in XFI 1.2.5 include:

• Add missing phrase when configuring vBulletin 5 forum importer.
• When importing from vBulletin 5 ensure that the node_name values are unique to avoid duplicate key errors.
• When importing from vBulletin, attempt to resolve a stored IP address to the ipdata table (if it exists).
• For the vBulletin smilie import, attempt to get the old VB board URL (and convert to valid UTF-8) within the step so a corrupted value cannot block the import from starting.

Some of the changes in XFI 1.2.4 include:

• When rewriting embedded attachments, ensure we are working on the correct post content.
• Support vB4 style inline attachment settings such as alt-text, link, size and alignment.
• Convert vBulletin video BB code to our media equivalent where possible.
• Ensure soft-deleted blogs from vBulletin are imported as such
• If an imported vBulletin notice has no message, set a default value to prevent an error.
• Add support for vB5 style JSON IMG/ATTACH tags
• When importing RSS feed definitions from VB make sure the display tokens are replaced to display the feed content properly.
• Bail out of rewriting messages with updated ATTACH BB code in vB5 if $message would be empty.
• When importing from vB5, ensure quotes are rewritten in the correct format.
