Hi there,
We've just released Osclass 8.2.0.

Download: https://osclass-classifieds.com/download
Full changelog: https://osclass-classifieds.com/changelog
Blog: https://docs.osclasspoint.com/osclass-820-release

Changelog summary:

• IMPORTANT: New image uploader library implemented - UPPY.IO image uploader.
      Uppy.io will be selected as default image uploader on all new Osclass installations (does not impact existing installations).
      No theme modifications are required.
• IMPORTANT: Images on item publish/edit page can now be reordered.
      Reordering no more use "naming of files" as way to sort images inside listing.
      Works for existing & newly uploaded images all together.
      Only works with Uppy.io image uploader.
      No theme modifications are rquired.
• IMPORTANT: Profile picture uploader got new library - UPPY.IO.
      Admin can define in backoffice what library to use (cropper or uppy).
      Integration guide created on docs: https://docs.osclasspoint.com/integrate-user-image-uploader-to-user-profile
      Existing integrations may not need any update, as script are now automatically loaded and previous construction is kept.
      Uppy.io will be selected as default profile picture uploader on all new Osclass installations (does not impact existing installations).
• Important: Major improvements in RSS feeds (yoursite.com/feed). Many new item fields added.
      RSS feed can now be disabled as well. When disabled, page returns 404.
      New hooks and filters created to support flexibility of data in RSS feed.
• Important: Logic for collecting listing statistics has changed. Now, only 1 stat counts towards 1 user session.
      This change applies to all "stats", including item views, premium views and reported stats (spam, misclassified, duplicated, expired, offensive).
      Why? 2 reasons: a) item & premium views were very unaccurate, b) this helps to significantly decrease database load caused by spam bots hitting all possible links, including "mark as...".
• Important: Big update with item_form and item_edit hooks, those now support different variants (ie. item_form_top), that allows to customize publish/edit page.
      Plugin now can use custom variants of hooks and show data based on category selection on numerous places (ie. below category, blow description etc.).
• Send to friend form can now be disabled in listing settings.
      Disabling send to friend form will not disable whole send to friend page, as it's used by many themes to manage custom forms.
• New hook user_locale_changed, when user locale has been changed.
• Numerous updates to core Osclass emails those will try to identify correct user locale.
      Admin emails are not sent anymore in user locale, instead they are always sent in site default locale.
• It is now possible to define default currency for each language.
      Language settings were also split into several sections.
• New setting available: max category levels (nesting) - it is possible to set how many subcategories your Osclass will support.
      There is hard limit for levels value, minimum is 1, maximum is 12. Previous Osclass versions supported only max 4 levels.
• Improvements in ReCaptcha configuration. It is now possible to disable ReCaptcha using checkbox and keep API keys defined.
      Warning: if you use built-in recaptcha, it will get disabled automatically after update. Make sure to enable it in Spam and Bots settings.
• Fixed bug with search url that added language code twice - when "language code in url" option enabled.
• Fixed bug with specific categories (contains number in slug) on search page, those on PHP8 would not result in 404 page if they does not exists (i.e. category a1a2)
• Fixed problem to unzip language, theme or plugin because ZipArchive could not read parent directory in ZIP archive.
• When downloading/sharing language zip, empty folder is first created for compatibility purpose.
• Following keywords are now supported in structure of item url: {CATEGORY}
• New option to run/get data from Osclass via ajax using "custom_hook" action that execute "ajax_custom" hook.
• Added limit 50000 records into Tools > Cleanup to avoid getting PHP memory errors in case there are millions of records to be removed.
      This brings need to repeat process several times, but makes feature functional for every situation.
• CURL PHP extension added into requirement list to install Osclass.
• Fixed small security vulnerable in backoffice with widgets (KVE-2023-5009).
• Fixed bug with category_multiple_selects (category multiselect on publish page) that did not selected last level of category, when category ID was provided.

Enjoy! 

It has been noticed that there is a delay in loading images on my website www.adycart.in. Prior to the upgrade, there were no issues with image loading delays. Are there any additional settings that I need to configure?

Ceeate own thread if you have problem.

Update went smoothly... Fantastic image upload and reorder possibility. Great work! Thank you for this early christmas gift

Rearrange images, what does this mean? Give some examples so we can understand it better and how really useful would it be for an already working site?

Rearranging images means that the user can move existing and new images on the item new or item edit page. It is also possible to add new images with a camera now. Uploading multiple images at the same time is now also possible. Moving images is very interesting for users because they are used to this on almost every classifieds website. You load a photo in any order and later move them to the desired position.

That's correct.

It is unbelievable how you have managed to keep the backwards compatibility so high.

That is EXACTLY how other releases lost the game.

Thank you for that great update and the whole script.

Sure, let me create a new thread, but I can't stop myself from appreciating developers who consistently provide the latest updates with unique functionalities. It has been a seamless experience. The process of updating OSClass 8.2.0 was smooth and is greatly appreciated

Well done team.
Upgrading soon.

Thanks.

Yet only limit seems to be PHP version that is increasing every year and libraries used in Osclass increasing minimum PHP version.
Besides that there are usually minimum or no need to somehow limit backward compatibility.
In most cases, anything developed for Osclass 3.0 or higher should work on Osclass 8.2

Uploading user profile images only in SIGMA theme takes place, other themes (BENDER, BETA) fail. While it says the upload was successful, the image is not uploaded to the user's profile.
