Major Bugs

The installation problems introduced by MySQL 5.5 should be resolved now. The legacy upgrader has been retired and replaced by a new script. I've updated the documentation accordingly in How To Upgrade From Old Versions. This new upgrade script has been tested with XMB 1.8 and found to be fully compatible with that version. Admins of older boards are advised to upgrade to XMB 1.8 before trying any newer version.

The viewthread and forumdisplay scripts have been further optimized and now show noticeable performance improvements on big boards. (See the patch forum for details)

Foreign characters entered in profiles on English-only boards will now be displayed correctly.

The CAPTCHA system is no longer disabled when using debug mode. Also, the image dimension settings have been fixed so that you can make the image itself larger or smaller.

Image attachments that are uploaded with the wrong filename extension (e.g. A JPEG file named mypic.gif) will be gracefully renamed like 'mypic.gif.jpg' and then attached normally.

The Firefox and Opera BBCodes have been corrected so that multiple smilies will insert correctly.

The greater than/less than option for Prune by post count has been fixed.
