Overview

This is a bugfix update which brings further testing and compatibility with PHP 8/8.1, Xenforo 2.2.9, along with feature improvements. PHP 8 improvement is part of the goal reaching public stable release.

Meta system​

Meta entities (objects in the database to hold meta data) are now much more optimized, with automatic deletion and placeholders depending on whether supported content types are soft or permanently deleted.

Clearing meta fields in the Google Live Preview will now accurately delete associated meta objects if they are present.

This was also a key task before public stable release.

Manage Index popup​

This popup has been improved, when clicking on the index status icon for supported content. You can now preview the inherited index method and the name of the parent category, to better understand why your content is showing a red or green index symbol. This is a first step in creating a more useful popup. This popup will be migrated to a more comprehensive "Manage SEO" panel in future releases. This is also a step in reaching public stable release.
