1.5.9 XenForo 1.5.9

Today, we are pleased to release XenForo 1.5.9. This release fixes a number of bugs and issues that were found since the release of 1.5.8. As this is a maintenance release, the vast majority of the focus was an increase in stability.

Some of the bugs fixed in 1.5.9 include:

• Improved compatibility with upcoming PHP 7.1 release.
• Add basic email typo detection for specific cases to reduce false positives with StopForumSpam checks.
• Indicate when a StopForumSpam result is from a general blacklisting rather than specific reports.
• Disable the rich text editor in Windows 10 Mobile Edge versions less than 14 due to problems using it.
• Fix a case where changing the price of a recurring user upgrade could cause some existing payments to not be processed correctly.
• Fix a situation where a user mention in a profile post was not displayed correctly.
• Fix user mention matching being case sensitive for accented characters.
• Fix a bug that caused transparent images may no longer be transparent after being resized.
• Ensure that profile post comments are not search indexed when the containing profile post has been deleted.
• Do not treat a "-" with spaces around it as a negation operator in searches.
• Allow some DB methods to work with custom database adapters.
• Do not show dismissed notices when the forum is closed.
• Better display of half star ratings in RTL languages.

See the Resolved Bug Reports forum for further information.
