XenForo 1.1.4 Released

XenForo 1.1.4 is the fourth maintenance release in the 1.1 series. While it's primary purpose is to fix bugs, this release also includes some small feature improvements as well. These are detailed below.

Amongst the bug fixes, there are several minor security improvements:

• Images are checked for certain content to ensure that the image does not contain code that could be executed with incorrect server configuration (such as in Nginx). Thanks to Chris Deeming for reporting this.
• 1.1.4 now mitigates clickjacking attacks using X-Frame-Options. Thanks to Vikram Pawar (w4rl0ck_d0wn) for reporting this.
• Server error logs now more aggressively filter out passwords before logging. Thanks to Slink for reporting this.

We recommend all customers upgrade to 1.1.4 to benefit from the increased stability and security improvements.

More Stable

This release of XenForo 1.1.4 follows our principle that third-point (x.x.X) releases should always be more stable than the preceding version, so for the most part you will not find new features in 1.1.4. Major new features will be reserved for second point versions (x.X.x).

Installation and Upgrade Instructions

Full details for how to install and upgrade XenForo can be found in the XenForo Manual.

Very easy update.

 

Was it easy to update, any mods conflicting?

 

Yes the TMS, though there is a fix already in the Release thread in the feedback forum. And my userbars aren't working the best but should be fixed soon.

 

I'll likely need to wait for @Miner to update the style before we upgrade here.

 

but no albums

i thought about porting to vb4 sites I have to XF but the lack of albums has stopped me.

 

The Update for us was quite easy and simple. I didn't have any issues....

the only mods i see not working properly are "Post Ratings like"....it works but it has 2 rows of the same icons allowing people to double rate the same post....

and as far as Albums?
My members are using the USER ALBUMS addon from Xenforo and it works perfectly well for us.
