Serendipity Styx 3.3.0 release

N° 2021/1 - The Serendipity Styx 3.3.0 release

Due to PHP 8 and its stricter error reporting many hidden flaws have been ironed out.

Styx 3.3.0 applies

• Once more Styx continued its work to clean up old occurrences for the new Series 3 branch, in example the old mysql and sqlrelay db include files and remaining type references
• Removed outdated feed RSS 0.91 and ATOM_03 templates files and references
• Allow backend configuration sets for plugin_html_nugget textareas
• Strongly improved the “B46 [Black Edition]” bootstrap theme for having advanced lists view features
• Improve “Spartacus” for reading the full requirements array, which allows to check extended plugin requirements on UPGRADE
• Removed outdated “bulletproof” core template to additional_plugins pool
• Removed “pure19” core template completely, considering the “pure” 2020 Standard themes flexing grid as good enough for all
• Updated Smarty and Rich Text Editor (CKEditor) library assets
• Added lots of improvements and bug fixes for themes all over
• Added more slowly growing (experimental) support for upcoming file format “avif”, an AV1 codec based new image format. PHP 8 and GDlib still do not not support it yet. So, please wait!
• Improved the serendipity_die() mode for errors vs maintenance mode
• Improved core APIs
• and more!
