SMF 2.0.18 Released

[SMFHacks]

SMF has released SMF 2.0.18 which adds PHP 7.4+ support. I have also tested on PHP 8.0 and seems to work fine as well!

Simple Machines is pleased to announce a new patch for the 2.0.x line of SMF, which pushes the version number to 2.0.18.

The patch is focused on PHP 7.4 support as well as other issues encountered on previous versions such as

Policy acceptance missing id_member.
Addresses PHP parse errors when using SMF file cache
Avoids truncating Settings.php until after we have a lock on the file
Tighten up security checks, bring in sync with 2.1
Brought the UTF16-to-UTF8 logic over from 2.1
Always include email address when downloading user's own profile data
Fix missing info affecting logging for new registrations
Fixes bugs with multi-version jumps (via CLI) where settings weren't refreshed
Set utf8 as default going forward
