XenForo 2.2.1 is now available for all licensed customers to download. We strongly recommend that all customers running previous versions of XenForo 2.2 upgrade to this release to benefit from increased stability.

Most importantly, this release fixes two potential security vulnerabilities in XenForo.

The issues are XSS vulnerabilities. XSS (Cross Site Scripting) issues allow scripts and malicious HTML to be injected into the page, potentially allowing data theft or unauthenticated access.

XenForo extends thanks to security researcher Vincent ibn Winnie for reporting the issues.

We recommend doing a full upgrade to resolve the issues, but a patch can be applied manually. See below for further details.

Some of the other changes in XF 2.2.1 include:
  • Fix erroneous phrase in success alert when posting a reply before registering
  • Ensure that service worker offline caching does not trigger session activity updates (or various other assertions)
  • Allow insertTable and xfBbCode commands to be added to custom dropdowns. Prevent paragraphFormat command being added.
  • Empty the mail queue when upgrading to 2.2 due to underlying Swiftmailer changes and catch errors (as well as exceptions) during mail sending to prevent queue items from becoming stuck.
  • Only bail out of toggling the editor preview when the editor is empty if you are not already previewing.
  • Fix displaying emoji phrases when the shortname contains an accented character and fix issue with accented shortname emojis from being converted.
  • Bail out of matching a URL to BB code media sites if the string matches censor words.
  • More consistently apply permission dependencies when passing from global to content-level permissions. Display permission changes due to failed dependencies when analyzing.
  • Expose unread state for conversations and conversation messages
  • Bypass global visibility check when trying to validate usernames for registration
  • Add missing phrases when Gravatar rebuild is run.
  • On the registration form, update the username field's explain text as usernames can be changed now
  • Ensure article preview images aren't underlined when hovered over
  • In the RTE, do not parse for emojis when smilies are disabled. This is consistent with how BB code is normally rendered.
  • Ensure that Attachment::getDirectUrl only returns raw display URLs when the attachment is viewable
  • Remove content voting links from HTML if the visitor cannot use them
  • Apply width: auto to the small logo to ensure it maintains the correct aspect ratio when resized
  • Fix email sharing link
  • Add PHPDocs to noPermission() and notFound() controller methods
The following public templates have had changes:
  • alert_post_pre_reg
  • app_nav.less
  • attachment_macros

Today, after a refreshingly short beta and release candidate phase, we are excited to announce that XenForo 2.2.0 is now prepared, seasoned, baked and served, replacing XenForo 2.1.11 as our primary supported XenForo version.

This release adds a collection of great new features to XenForo, including the ability to repurpose forums as article repositories, a new way to encourage guest users to register, a progressive web app and a completely redesigned rich text editor. Check out the following list for some highlights:
  • Forum and thread types system
  • Updated rich text editor
  • User profile banners
  • Username change requests
  • Search forums
  • Forum SEO controls
  • Writing before registering support
  • Progressive web app
  • Activity summary emails
  • Style archive import and export
  • REST API additions
  • Profile post attachments
This is not an exhaustive list of what's new in 2.2, and you can read more about the above and other new changes/improvements features in the Have you seen...? forum.

We have also added preliminary support for the upcoming major release of PHP 8.0.
Today we continue the release candidate stage of XenForo 2.2 with Release Candidate 2. We recommend that all customers running previous 2.2 versions upgrade to this release.

This release is similar to the previous betas, but indicates that we are now a step closer to the stable 2.2.0 release. This is still considered a pre-release version, so we do not recommend running it in production and ticket support for this version is not yet available.

More specific details regarding bugs fixed in this release can be found in the resolved bugs forum.

This is pre-release software. It is not officially supported.
We do not recommend running it in production.
Today we're happy to announce the next step towards a stable and supported release of XenForo 2.2 by moving onto the "release candidate" stage. We recommend that all customers running previous 2.2 versions upgrade to this release.

This release is similar to the previous betas, but indicates that we are now a step closer to the stable 2.2.0 release. This is still considered a pre-release version, so we do not recommend running it in production and ticket support for this version is not yet available.

More specific details regarding bugs fixed in this release can be found in the resolved bugs forum.

This is pre-release software. It is not officially supported.
We do not recommend running it in production.


Please remember that this is pre-release software. It contains known bugs and incomplete functionality. We do not recommend running pre-release software in a production environment, and support is limited at this time to questions here on the community forums.

Add-ons and custom styles may be broken after upgrading to 2.2. You must test your add-ons thoroughly or look for updates. Be especially careful with add-ons that cover similar features to ones that are added to 2.2; these may conflict with the core XenForo data. If data conflicts are found, they will need to be resolved in a new add-on release or by removing the add-on before upgrading to 2.2.

If you choose to run pre-release software, it is your responsibility to ensure that you make a backup of your data. We recommend you do this before attempting an upgrade. If in doubt, always do a test upgrade on a copy of your production data.
After last week's Wednesday-which-was-sort-of-Tuesday-a-bit release, we are back on our regular Tuesday release cycle with 2.2.0 Beta 6. We are hopeful that this may be our final beta release before we move to a Release Candidate stage.

We strongly recommend anyone testing 2.2 during this beta period upgrade as each beta version is released.

More specific details regarding bugs fixed in this release can be found in the resolved bugs forum.
This past Monday was a bank holiday in the UK, so as far as the working week goes, today is Tuesday, which means it's time for Beta 5. This release fixes a number of bugs found since the previous release.

We strongly recommend anyone testing 2.2 during this beta period upgrade as each beta version is released.

More specific details regarding bugs fixed in this release can be found in the resolved bugs forum.
Today, we continue the beta stage of XenForo 2.2 with Beta 4. This release fixes a number of bugs found since the previous release.

We strongly recommend anyone testing 2.2 during this beta period upgrade as each beta version is released.

More specific details regarding bugs fixed in this release can be found in the resolved bugs forum.

This is beta software. It is not officially supported.
We do not recommend running it in production.
