Changes affecting third-party developers and designers

Backwards-incompatible changes that may affect third party applications / plugins:

  • Methods that handle passwords in login handlers (authenticateUsernamePassword(), authenticatePasswordForMember(), changePassword()) now receive an object which can be cast to a string, rather than a normal string, for the password. This reduces the likelihood of a password being included in an error log.
  • The onPassChange MemberSync callback now receives an object which can be cast to a string, rather than a normal string, for the password. This reduces the likelihood of a password being included in an error log.

Enhancements / fixes for developers:

  • Added a new constant \IPS\DEV_LOG_HEADERS which allows you to log all headers being sent during responses.
  • Better abstracted code that dynamically builds class paths for areas that are no longer using iterators.
  • Improved some extension skeleton files to not cause a ParseError once the extension is created.
  • Fixed color fields not initializing for new rows added in a manageable matrix.

Fixes that only affect developer mode or third party apps/plugins:

  • Fixed some functions not being called from the root namespace and throwing warnings when in developer mode.
  • Fixed an undefined index loading form to add a new hosting server in Commerce.

Code-level fixes that may have been causing bugs in third party apps/plugins:

  • Added code comments to all of the default constant values in init.php explaining what they all do.
  • Ensured all default wizard instances are cast as a string before being sent to the output handler.
  • Fixed an issue when pluralization and sprintf functionality is used together and the placeholder is used in the pluralized string.
  • Fixed an issue with post before register where it was assumed content items would have a container.
  • Fixed an exception when post before registering is checked against a content item that supports reviews but not comments.
  • Fixed some ambiguous column concerns with the \IPS\Content\Item::_comments() method.
  • Fixed an issue editing titles via Ajax when the item class does not use containers.
  • Fixed an issue where the release date may not show correctly for third party plugins or themes.
  • Fixed some functions not being called from the root namespace and throwing an IN_DEV warning.
  • Fixed the widget configuration form being called twice which may result in some form elements duplicating.
  • Improved some extension skeleton files to not cause a ParseError once the extension is created.
