MbinOrg/mbin v1.8.1

on GitHub

I know, it has been a while. However, we are happy to release v1.8.1!

Mainly a lot of bug fixes / improvements. Composer package dependency updates. Lot of documentation and language improvements (we also got Catalan now fully translated, thanks!).

Feel free to upgrade to PHP v8.4 as well.

A noticeable fronted difference to point out is that we now put thumbnails in a lightbox by default. Although this can be changed by the end-user at: ⚙ Settings -> Under "Threads" section -> "Thread thumbnails opens full screen" option.

Comparison to previous stable version v1.8.0:
