Today, the Best of Joomla! team is proud to announce the release of our first release candidate for FireBoard 1.0.5, RC1. There are many new features and improvements to existing functionality in FireBoard 1.0.5 over FireBoard 1.0.4 and prior, most of which have already been described in the release announcements for the various pre-release versions, and in the related forum threads that was posted at the beginning of the beta process, but here is a brief list of just a few of the highlights. NEW bbcode config settings NEW Parser features: trim long URLs (no need for a mambot any longer - can be switched off) NEW auto embed features: convert most youtube and ebay urls into embedded flash player (can be switched off) NEW My Discussions tab for default_ex: See you favorites and all threads you ever replied to Major SQL improvements - Cut 30-40% of SQL calls on Recent Discussions and new My DIscussions tabs Major rework: Forum permissions check re-written. Saves SQL calls and should work all over the board including search. New little feature: You can embed eBay items just like videos inside a user post. We have also added an initial version of a Dev Team Credits page. This will be updated for the final release. New hide and spoiler tag implementation Legacy config file support - in addition to the database config, an old style config file is created Message text tooltips for default_ex on recent discussions and categories Various CSS and template fixes for default_ex - template scales now in various sizes Spoiler tag added to editor toolbar Update category stats after bulk move and delete RSS browser auto detection More bbcode purification for video and ebay tags e.g. in tooltips 1.0.x SEF problem with page ankers fixed Fixed slash in signature fbsession optimizations broken default_ex tabs in IE and Opera fixed Re-written autolink detection - 4 regex collapsed into 1 Multiple selections for deleting smilied and ranks enabled (backend) Fixed parser issue with extra non tag related in text - caused famous doubling of post text Moved topic - ghost message no longer shown in category view Team credits page updated ... and so much more.
