Looks like there's a new release out for the back-end.

A new feature release 3.3.4 is available.

If you guys are happy, i'll break out the wallet and get our guy to implement it.

One of these days i'll get around to setting up a test board and trying some upgrades myself when needed. But at the moment i'm just happier throwing some money at this guy as he does this stuff day in day out.

Obviously there'll be a short downtime when he does it.... and sometimes he surprises me when he does it

[weeksy]

OK, i've got hold of the expert... he's on the case... expect the board to go down in the not too distant future.

Noooo!

I'll have to do some work!!!

Upgrade complete and paid for

[Skub]

What did the upgrade do? Do we have more bhp and better fueling,or does the whole plot just handle a bit better?

I'm asking,but prepared to not understand the reply anyway!

Greetings everyone,

We are pleased to announce the release of phpBB 3.3.4 "Bertie’s garden work". This version is a maintenance release of the 3.3.x branch which adds support for WebP images, improves the wording in email templates, and resolves various issues reported in previous versions.

The fixes include, among others, further improvements on PHP 8 compatibility as well as an issue with database names containing a dash that could prevent some admins from accessing the Administration Control Panel (ACP).
A small change that was also introduced is the possibility for CAPTCHAs to define a custom message that is displayed when a CAPTCHA is shown due to exceeding the maximum allowable number of login attempts.

The full list of changes is available in the changelog file within the docs folder contained in the release package. You can find the key highlights of this release on the wiki at https://wiki.phpbb.com/Release_Highlights/3.3.4 and a list of all issues fixed on our tracker at https://tracker.phpbb.com/issues/?filter=15690

The packages can be downloaded from our downloads page.

The development team thanks everyone who contributed code to this release: 3D-I, Christian Schnegelberger, Dark❶, DinHere, rxu, Matt Friedman, Alfredo Ramos

I think in honesty we could arguably skip about 5 of the updates/versions, then just jump to the latest every 12-18 months... but... well, we're a bunch of middle class layabouts, so we can afford to keep it as up to date as possible IMO.

We take regular off-site backups etc, which again I pay for, same as with this update.... But, it means if the board dies for some reason we have a decent chance of getting it back up.

Any post upgrade issues then?
