5.0.3 - A 🎅 Nikolaus 🎅 Bugfix release of new Serendipity Styx 5.0.0 ++

THANK YOU for support and help ! Read the ChangeLog, please.

Styx 5.0.3 since 5.0.2

• Fixed the adding category issue
• Improve some more variable checks
• Fixed some ImageMagick image tool issues
• Fixed several plugin issues with spamblock and nl2br
• Fixed several silently logged fail errors
• Ready for brand new PHP 8.5

For the real major NEWS updates regarding Styx 5.0, please read below release candidate and beta Announcements.

Having ironed-out lots of these issue, it is still expected that we will get some exception errors with non-deeply checked plugins that are not so much mainstream. If you run into these please file a core issue or plugin issue over at GitHub or mention them in the discussions. Just paste the error exception with the stack trace and explain what you did to get there, so it is easy to reproduce. Normally you can just resume with your work afterwards by going back in your browsers history or by returning to the start page of your Backend or Frontend.

Thanks again; See you soon on next 😎 Serendipity Styx 5.1 revision !😃

The next version will be Styx 5.1.0, which will finally clean up old UTF-8 language file directories, apart from exiting new improvements. Please update your local or development plugins and themes until then! This is announced in the upgrade tasks to 5.0.0.
