We just released Revive Adserver v5.5.1

The new version 5.5.1 of the Revive Adserver software contains fixes for a number of small bugs and inconveniences that have been identified after publication of v5.5.0.

Changes in v5.5.1 of the Revive Adserver software:

• We fixed an issue preventing username and password from being always requested during upgrades from 5.3.x and older versions. Running an upgrade with an active logged-in session on the browser could result in the admin account requiring a password reset at the next login.

• We fixed an issue with non-ASCII (e.g. accented) characters not being properly encoded when sending e-mails.

• We fixed an issue with the CLI installer not setting permissions properly.

• We removed legacy checks for register_argc_argv being enabled. In fact it is recommended to keep it disabled ony SAPI, other than “cli”, for security reasons.

• We removed references to safe_mode, which has been removed from PHP a long ago.

• We fixed a fatal TypeError being triggered during delivery under some circumstances.

• We fixed a potential out of memory error during maintenance in case of database issues.

• We added proper escaping when displaying custom application name and UI colour settings.

Full release notes for v5.5.1 can be found on our Github page.
