Release 4.0.0

[Digitalroot]

Requirements

• PHP 7.3 or later
• MySQL 5 or later
• MediaWiki 1.31 LTS or later, including 1.35 LTS
• phpBB 3.3
• PluggableAuth MediaWiki extension

This release supports MediaWiki 1.35 and later by using the PluggableAuth MediaWiki extension. After installing PluggableAuth, this extension is a drop-in replacement for prior versions. If your LoginMessage or NoWikiError messages include HTML, such as links, they will need to be updated to use Wiki markup instead. For instance:

$wgAuth_Config['LoginMessage'] = "'''Please register on the forums to login.''' " .
    "[https://some.domain.com/phpBB/ucp.php?mode=register Click here to create an account.]";

This version also includes improved debug messages to troubleshoot configuration and authentication issues. See the Troubleshooting section of the README.md for more information.
