ElkArte 1.1.8 - Release announcement

October 05, 2021, 03:00:37 am

Today, we are pleased to release ElkArte 1.1.8. This is the 9th release in the ElkArte 1.1 line.

This release addresses some bugs and some security issues identified after the release of ElkArte 1.1.7. A few enhancements to existing functionality were added as well.

This is patch does contain security fixes and we strongly encourage anyone running any previous version to update to the latest.

This release follows our semantic version (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH), meaning that third-point (x.x.X) releases should contain backwards-compatible bug fixes and enhancements, so for the most part you will not find major new features in this release. Major new features will be reserved for second point versions (x.X.x).

Refer to the release notes on the forum for a complete list of updates. Release Notes
