Mbin Releases

We are excited to announce the release of Mbin v1.7.2! This version focused on bug fixes rather than new features.

For Users

• The CSRF issues are a thing of the past, so if you let mbin sit for a while you should still be able to vote and comment on things
• You should now stay logged in for 4 months
• the textarea toolbar now has a button for adding a spoiler
• You should not get mention or created thread notifications by blocked users anymore
• The body field of a thread is not marked as required anymore, so you can edit image or link posts that have no body

For Admins

• Cleaned the prod.log so you don't get spammed with irrelevant information

• We added down vote modes. You can set it to either

  • enabled (default): the current behaviour
  • hidden: downvotes are hidden, so there is no counter on the downvote buttons anymore, but they still get counted and they are still weighed into the sorting
  • disabled: downvote buttons are hidden and remote downvotes are not counted anymore, and they don't weigh into the sorting anymore

• reduce invalid requests getting to controllers -> remove irrelevant errors

• sessions are now stored in the DB instead of redis

• Valkey is now listed in the docs as a valid redis replacement
