Title Attachment upload-failure creating ghostly content
Description If an attachment fails to upload correctly (typically due to it being too large, or a corrupt image), then the content entry will remain on the server without a properly associated Comcode textual resource. This can result in a 'ghost entry' being displayed in place of a proper resource if the '0' textual resource has been written-to previously (such as by editing one of these failed entries).
Affects All users
Fix This will be fixed in the next release.

Title Catalogue long-text fields do not display correctly
Description Catalogue fields of 'a block of text (no comcode support)' do not respect whitespace when displayed.

A fix is described here. Please note that this fix will not cause properly display in the ocPortal preview box at the add/edit stage, due to limitations of how the preview system is designed.

Title Chat stability improvements
Description The chat system used to cease checking for new messages if a reqest failed, meaning that no new messages would appear, even if they were being posted correctly. These files correct the problem.
Affects Users of the chat system with bad connections

Title Errors sending emails to default admin/test users
Description A 'recoverable error' relating to failure to send e-mail, will be displayed when ocPortal tries to send an e-mail to a member without an e-mail address.
ocPortal doesn't normally allow members to not have e-mail addresses, but the default admin/test members are an exception. If these members are present on the forum, then personal topics started with them, or replies to topics they are tracking, will trigger the error message.
Affects OCF users
Fix Please assign an e-mail address to your admin user.

A workaround for new users will be introduced in the next patch release.
