- Added and refined CAPTCHA options to better protect against new version of CAPTCHA crackers.
- Added an option to the registration screen to allow users to refresh the displayed CAPTCHA.
- Performance improvements for native fulltext search.
- Added a new search option. The admin can define the maximum number of words allowed to search for. This option gives control about the maximum search load.
- Search indexing should no longer stall for some installations.
- Conflicting files are able to be downloaded now within the automatic updater for manual inspection.
- The database updater now checks for an incompatible database schema in case the database version got updated. The admin will be notified about possible solutions and repair scripts.
- We now set the connection encoding for MySQL versions 4.1.0 to 4.1.2. This may fix some conversion issues with special characters.
- Language pack authors now see errors/notices within their language pack if they enabled DEBUG_EXTRA.
- Flash files now display again after update to flash player 10.
