Key Changes
This is a maintenance release to fix reported issues.
In addition to a strong focus on overall stability, this release contains:
- Official PHP 7 support
- Major performance improvements to Activity Streams
Version 4.1.14.1 / 4.1.14.2: This is a small maintenance update to address issues some clients had with certain URLs. We have also seen clients having issues with many third-party plugins and this update will attempt to better capture those errors.
Important
This is the last release to officially support PHP 5.5 which is now completely unsupported by PHP. If your web host is still using PHP 5.5 you should contact them to upgrade to either PHP 5.6 or PHP 7.0.

'__indefart_post' => "a post in a topic", '__indefart_topic' => "a topic", '__indefart_answer' => "an answer to a question", '__indefart_question' => "a question",You must add matching strings which provide the name of the content type as it would appear with (but not including) the definite article using the "__defart_" prefix:
