ThunderBoard beta 4 is out

This is a bugfix and feature release.

Changelog

• Rewritten most of the code and separated parsing processes into class functions;
  
• Fixed issue which prevented redirections to happen correctly;
  
• Edited the loading indicator, dropping Spin.js in favor of app-loading.js;
  
• Added template previews;
  
• Separated minifying settings into scripts and stylesheets;
  
• Moved the variable globalizer algorithm to a low-level hook. This saves memory and enhances page speed;
  
• Removed inline scripts minifying as it was slowing page rendering too much;
  
• Added a separate JS file to store ThunderBoard's front-end routines. This enhances reliability when browsing the site using PJAX, as functions are fired just once and they do not overlap anymore;
  
• Added versioning to automatically update cached resources without waiting for their expiration;
  
• Fixed minor issues.
  

Upgrade from older versions

If you are running older beta versions of ThunderBoard, here's an easy step-by-step tutorial on how to install the latest version:

• before downloading ThunderBoard, uninstall the older version from your board;
  
• download the latest ThunderBoard version, extract the .zip file, upload and overwrite the old files;
  
• install and activate ThunderBoard;
  
• enjoy!
  

Thank you! One question, really important for me - are post anchors fixed? I mean - click on the "last post" redirects me to the last post, not to the beginning of the thread.

No, they are not.

OK, so I will be waiting for beta 5... this is quite important for me (not mainly for me but for my users - thats why I cannot use Thunderboard on production on my live board).

I have found an issue - ACP - Minify resources -> when you select at least one of them, the FASTyle popup box in the top right corner is broken (it shows errors).

Thank you for your hard work, good job!

That's a FASTyle issue indeed which has already been fixed and will be pushed as a new FASTyle version soon. In the meantime, you must disable FASTyle if you want to enable the setting.

thank you for the update.

Thx for info! Btw I am testing beta 4 on my testing board - amazing, really fast! Really huge progress since beta 3

I have fixed the anchor issue here on MyBBoost. Will publish beta 5 when the bug fix list will grow a bit.

Thank you, good news :)

I have tested on my production board - still have issues with CSS buttons in my header area. After activation Thunderboard -> text with fontawesome is outside these buttons and the buttons are not rendered correctly. I can post you there my CSS for the buttons + header template content. Also same issue with <span class="smalltext"> in the header area - for some items it is ignored (for example PM unread/total counter).

Can you provide a link to your test board? Would be nice to have a direct look at the console.
