phpBB 3.0.10 released

Greetings community,

We are pleased to announce the release of phpBB 3.0.10. This version is a maintenance release fixing a number of bugs as well as adding some minor new features. It contains two new caching backends: WinCache for Windows servers and a Redis backend. The number of login attempts without having to solve an anti-spambot task can now be limited by IP. Username and password fields are no longer incorrectly autocompleted in the ACP.

We urge you to update your installation as soon as possible. Our support team will only support phpBB 3.0.10, updates to phpBB 3.0.10 and conversions to phpBB 3.0.10. Submissions to our trackers for older versions will not be accepted, please make sure you update before you submit a bug report.

If you use a language pack other than the default "English [GB]", you should check our downloads section, an update may already be available.

We would also like to say a special thank you to everyone outside the development team who has contributed a patch to this release:
Callum Macrae, Vjacheslav Trushkin, Maël Soucaze, Patrick Webster, Alan, David King, Marc Alexander, Tabitha Backoff, Wendy Liu, dmauri and Victor Nagy. You can find a full list of contributors on our redesigned Area51 development section: http://area51.phpbb.com/contributors.

If you experience problems with the automatic update (white screens, timeouts, etc.) we recommend using the "changed files only" or "patch" method for updating.

  Complete files, but only those that were changed since previous releases of phpBB 3. This archive contains changed files for every previous release.
• Patch Files:
  This file contains diffs against the previous phpBB 3 release, which can be applied with the patch utility.

Select the package most suitable for you. We recommend the following methods depending on your situation:

• For new installations you should use the Full Package
• For updates of boards without modifications you can use the Automatic Update Package (guided update) or the Changed Files Only package (manual update).
• For updates of boards with modifications you should use the Automatic Update Package. If you are confident with patch files and patching you can use the Patch Files Package.
• International Support Teams may use the Patch Package in conjunction with the Code Changes to better support users with problematic conflicts during their update process or to help them update code sections.
• If you are a hoster/provider, you may want to use the Patch Files Package to update all of your client installations.
