Title: SMF 2.1.3 Released
Post by: shawnb61 on November 21, 2022, 02:06:14 PM
Dear Members,

Simple Machines is pleased to announce a new patch for the 2.1.x line of SMF, which pushes the version number to 2.1.3.

Notable changes in SMF 2.1.3



Please see the change list on GitHub (https://github.com/SimpleMachines/SMF/issues?q=is%3Aclosed+milestone%3A2.1.3) for more information.

How to update to 2.1.3

If you are currently using version 2.1.2 you can perform the update using the Package Manager (Administration Center > Package Manager). There you should see a notification about 2.1.3, including a "update your forum" 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 version 2.1.0 - 2.1.1, you can use the process described above to apply previous update patches successively until you reach version 2.1.3.

If you are currently using any older version of SMF (including SMF 1.x, SMF 2.0.x, or one of the SMF 2.1 Betas or RCs), you can upgrade directly to 2.1.3 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 SMF 2.1.0 or higher, 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 2.1.x Support Board (https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?board=254.0).

Thank you for using SMF!

Regards,
Simple Machines

Wow, big thank you to all the team for this new update, that's much appreciated!

Since being a novice in all of this I wonder if that means I also have to revise all the changes I made to my theme php files and a couple of files in Sources?
For instance, in 2.1.2, unread PM notifications in the dropdown menu weren't a link (only the PM title) so I customized my theme to address that. Would I have to change anything back?

Yeah, sorry about that. I thought this was such a generic question that I asked it here. My apologies!

Great to see! Probably one of the biggest patches SMF has released (in terms of the number of changes it makes).

As there seems to be no easy upgrade path, can I hire anyone to update my Forum from SMF 2.0.19 (https://www.modelboatmayhem.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=credits)  to current SMF?

Upgrading Smf is pretty easy. What do you mean by "As there seems to be no easy upgrade path"?

Yes, you can hire someone by posting here:

I thought the forums died 10 years ago, working with this version of SMF 2.1.3. you understand that it's really cool, everything is very modern, dynamic, efficient, practical, thank you very much for making me believe again in the power of the forum communication system
