We are pleased to announce the release of phpBB 3.3.4 "Bertie’s garden work". This version is a maintenance release of the 3.3.x branch which adds support for WebP images, improves the wording in email templates, and resolves various issues reported in previous versions.
The fixes include, among others, further improvements on PHP 8 compatibility as well as an issue with database names containing a dash that could prevent some admins from accessing the Administration Control Panel (ACP).
A small change that was also introduced is the possibility for CAPTCHAs to define a custom message that is displayed when a CAPTCHA is shown due to exceeding the maximum allowable number of login attempts.
The full list of changes is available in the changelog file within the docs folder contained in the release package. You can find the key highlights of this release on the wiki at https://wiki.phpbb.com/Release_Highlights/3.3.4 and a list of all issues fixed on our tracker at https://tracker.phpbb.com/issues/?filter=15690
