Invision Community 5.0.2 is now available via your Admin Control Panel

This release focuses on bugs reported since the release of 5.0.1 and features many UI improvements. You can see the full list of fixes in our release notes section.

This release also resolves several issues with Downloads screenshots and thumbnails.

What's next?

This week we'll continue to triage and manage incoming bug reports and we expect to have another maintenance release out next week to ensure that bug fixes are resolved as quickly as possible. We then expect 5.0.4 to follow within two to three weeks as we work in some larger fixes that will require more testing.

If we see anything more pressing, we'll release a patch which can be applied via your Admin Control Panel.

As always, thank you for your testing and reports. It really does help us!

The missing "Wallpaper backgrounds" have been fixed and should hopefully be available shortly when Matt pushes the patch. That bug slipped by me as it only seems to happen in some browsers. Regardless, that issue was my mistake, sorry all! 😅

Invision Community 5.0.2 Patch 1 released which fixes:

• Wallpaper images not showing in Chrome and Firefox (CSS issue)

• The core issue removing Downloads file thumbnails when Topic Sync is on

The issue with the downloads file thumbnails is complex and took a while to track down. You may notice thumbnail loss after applying the patch on existing Downloads Files, and this is because the bug puts the primary thumbnail path and filename into the core_attachments table, instead of creating a new thumbnail. This means when you edit a file, or create a new version, the topic sync function runs which deletes the attachment, and the thumbnail before recreating a new image but the old thumbnail path and filename is still in downloads_files_records which manifests as a missing image.

I am going to write an upgrade step for 5.0.3, but also a one-off script today to correct the data in core_attachments which should fully resolve the issue.

I just upgraded one of my sites.

How do I get the list view back for the forums?

Thanks

Click in the menu with your photo then in Theme Editor —> Page Layout.

Something like this.

If you go to the support area of your admin CP, patches are shown in there :)
