phpBB2, the online forum software that is easily installed from the Account Manager, has been upgraded to the latest version 2.0.20. Major changes include:
- Prevent login attempts from incrementing for inactive users
- Do not check maximum login attempts on re-authentication to the admin panel
- Regenerate session keys on password change
- improved index performance by determining the permissions before iterating through all forums
- Better handling of short usernames within the search
- Improved handling of forums to which the user does not have any explicit permissions
- Added configurable search flood control to reduce the effect of DoS style attacks
- Enabled Visual Confirmation by default
- Changed default forum permissions to only allow registered users to post in new forums
If you are running a previous version of phpBB2, you will need to upgrade your forum manually if you wish to upgrade to this version.
