What's New in v1.1.0 Development Version?

The upcoming v1.1.0 release introduces significant performance, security, and developer experience enhancements:

• BBCode & HTML Support: Custom blocks now support full BBCode parsing (BBCode formatting, smilies, and links) in addition to raw HTML mode.
• HTML Security Analyzer: Integrated ACP editor warnings for risky HTML tags (script, iframe, alert, location.href, mixed HTTP resources).
• Twig Template Syntax: Full migration to phpBB 3.3+ Twig syntax across all ACP and frontend templates.
• AJAX Status Counter Updates: Dynamic real-time updates of active/disabled block summary counters in the ACP without page reloads.
• Language Support: Added official Portuguese (pt) and Brazilian Portuguese (pt_br) translations with dialectal accuracy.
• Developer Template Events: Added template hooks (vinny_sidebar_left_before, vinny_sidebar_left_after, vinny_sidebar_right_before, vinny_sidebar_right_after) allowing third-party extensions to seamlessly inject content around sidebars.
