Dear Members,
Simple Machines is pleased to announce a new patch for the 2.0.x line of SMF, which pushes the version number to
2.0.19.
Notable changes in 2.0.19- Ensures compatibility with PHP 8.1 MySQLi error mode.
- Fixes a bug where members could not download their basic profile data if RSS feeds were disabled.
- Fixes a bug where double encoded entities could appear in RSS feeds and SSI functions
- Fixes bugs related to birthdates in member profiles.
- Improves protection against race conditions when saving Settings.php
- Avoids an issue with certain versions of Chrome and Edge where viewing one page of a multi-page topic could cause unread posts on the next page to be incorrectly marked as read.
- Security improvements.
Please see the changelog (https://download.simplemachines.org/index.php?thanks;filename=smf_2-0-19_changelog.txt) for more information.
How to update to 2.0.19If you are currently using version
2.0.18 you can perform the update using the Package Manager (Administration Center > Package Manager). There you should see a notification about 2.0.19, including a "click here to install" link. If you do not see this notification in the Package Manager, please run "Fetch Simple Machines files" from the Scheduled Tasks page (Administration Center > Maintenance > Scheduled Tasks), and then try again.
If you are currently using any earlier version of the
2.0.x line, you can use the process described above to apply previous update patches successively until you reach version 2.0.19.
If you are currently using
an older version of SMF, you can upgrade directly to 2.0.19 from whichever version you are currently using by using the "Large Upgrade" package from the Download (https://download.simplemachines.org) page. Be aware that using this upgrade method will require you to reinstall any customizations that you have added to your forum, so if you are running a version of the 2.0.x series, it is recommended that you apply the successive patches instead of using the Large Upgrade.
If you are having problems downloading the patch from the admin panel, you can download the patch package from the Package Manager Updates (https://custom.simplemachines.org/upgrades/) page and install it via the Package Manager, as you would any other mod package.
Please refer to the Online Manual for more details about patching (https://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Patching) and upgrading (https://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Upgrading).
Finally, as always, please do
not use this topic for support requests. You will receive a much quicker and better response by posting in the 2.0.x Support Board (https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?board=147.0).
Thank you for using SMF!
Regards,
Simple Machines
Congrats on the release, thank you to the team! :)

Congratulations to the Smf Team for the new release and a big thank you for all your hard work. Keep it up guys and gals :)
Thank you once again team. I'm loving SMF!
congratulation ;D ;D ;D
Glad to see this, thank you everyone involved :)
Happy to see a new update :)
LOL, as if server admins don't have enough to do currently :)
Top work all, thanks :)
Great job everyone :D this counts as a christmas present :P
Regards!
Thank you to everyone who has been working on this update and releasing it.
*grumbles* *sighs* now I have to try to deal with all the errors to update :laugh:
joking
thank you for all of the hard work
Great ! Thanks.
Thanks for update :)
Maybe it would be worth to mention in first post that unofficial fix for birthday date (https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=576665.msg4081406#msg4081406) should be uninstalled before applying this patch?
For some it will be obvious, for others not so much ::)
Thanks for this release, and now I'm waiting for SMF 2.1.0 to finally be released. ;)
Important: If you installed this patch (https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=576665.msg4081406#msg4081406) which fixed the display of the date of birth in SMF 2.0.18, uninstall this patch immediately before installing SMF 2.0.19
Excellent to see updates still being done even at tough times!

It's also pointed out in Package Manager.
Note the RSS string function unofficial patch would need to be uninstalled also.

Yayyy thank you for another update!
Cool beans!
Congratulations everyone :)
Upgrade was a breeze thru package manager.
All working well. Thanks Team. :)
Thanks for the update. I usually get Emails about this but didn't this time.
Thank you for the update!!! :)
Cool Thanks Worked A Treat ;D
Worked without a hitch. Thank you devs.
Thanks, so far so good, although I'm tempted to bite-the-bullet and upgrade to the 2.1 RC4 core to get better mobile support than what I've already patched and to begin porting the theme over seeing as this forum itself has done that...
Congrats on the release!
Thanks to the Team and merry xmas everyone :)
Hello,
I am having difficulty updating to the French language (smf_2-0-19_french-utf8). I have the following message:
Étape 1: Login
The upgrader found some old or outdated language files, for the forum default language, french-utf8.
Thank you for your answers

Sometimes I feel like a lot of people don't read the first post. All they see is the topic title and click reply ... (https://i.imgur.com/vWJyuta.gif)
might be best on these types of announcements just to close them to replies 🤷�♀️
+1
This was suggested many times in the past and shot down.
Because making am announcement and locking itvus not condussive to the feeling of community
Also, sometimes the comments we get are actually useful information like pointing out mistakes we've made :P

Thank you el-brujo. Double thank you for Aleksi "Lex" Kilpinen and the SMF team who allowed me to lead a forum since 2007.
Happy New Year to you
Some users have reported problems running the large upgrade packages, with error messages about outdated language files. The large upgrade packages for 2.0.19 available at https://download.simplemachines.org have now been fixed to solve this problem.
If you have already successfully updated to 2.0.19, no further action is needed on your part.
If you previously had trouble running the large upgrade, please download a fresh copy from https://download.simplemachines.org and try again.

Not sure of the history but this is why when 2.1.4 comes out it's important to have that VERY prominently in the announcement - if it's added in later fewer people will see it. :)
It is always in the initial release announcement and usually in big red letters. Still doesn't help.
