There's a new version of SMF available, and I will be running the update at some point within the next few days. Of course, if it breaks any major features, I'll revert it until a workaround can be found.

I will give a warning about 30 minutes before I actually run the update.

Please take note of the following:
- Keep a backup of ALL content posted to the site (whether attachments or posts themself) from when the 30-minute warning is given, until I confirm the update is complete. I cannot guarantee it won't be lost in the update and/or any nessecary reversions. Also, just in case, you may want to keep a local copy of anything for a few days after the update.
- Any modifications I've made to the site may get reverted by the update. Especially those that add functionality (rather than just adjust cosmetics), be cautious with using them for a little while after the update, and report any problems right away - if you're not sure if something's a problem, report it just in case.
- Don't panic if the site is unavailable during the update. I'll stay on #lix during the update so I can let people know if there's any unexpected problems.
- I'm expecting the update itself - if all goes well - will take about 5 minutes at most, if that. However, I'll also need to run a backup beforehand, which may take a bit longer.

EDIT: The update has been completed.
So far, no issues have been noticed as a result of it. Please let me know if you find any.

No regressions so far. All of these bugs are still fixed:

* clicking Javascipt smiley button inserts space after smiley code
* text files attached to PMs are truncated by (number of newlines) chars
