CMSB v3.51 Beta 1 (April 5, 2019)

Hi All!

We've just released v3.51 beta 1 (beta list members will get an email shortly). 

As mentioned in the release of v3.50, this and future releases of CMSB will now require PHP 7.1+. Please make sure your PHP version is up-to-date before upgrading!

In addition, we've made a number of smaller improvements and bug fixes, including some library updates (FontAwesome 5, HTML Purifier 4.10.0), improving compatibility with various MySQL versions, and improving memory usage during the backup process. See the full changelog below.

An important note for sites with custom CSS themes: As part of updating to FontAwesome 5, we have made some changes to the default CMSB theme CSS. If you use custom themes - particularly if you employ FontAwesome icons in your CSS - please review the instructions in the changelog to see if you will need to make any updates to your theme.

CSS UPDATES/CUSTOM THEMES
As part of the FontAwesome 5 update, some updates have been made to the base CSS theme templates included with CMSB.
If you use a custom CSS theme that is based on these theme templates, it will likely need to be updated.
Please compare to the new versions to match these changes if necessary. The specific changes are:
- The selector ".dragger, .label" (original line 17) has been changed to ".label"
- The block "ul.main-navigation-menu > li > ul > li.current > a:after { ... }" (original lines 64-71) has been fully reworked.
To see the differences compare /3rdParty/clipone/css/theme_blue.css.old with theme_blue.css

Also note that if your custom theme added any FontAwesome icons using pseudo-elements, they will also need to be updated
as per: https://fontawesome.com/how-to-use/on-the-web/advanced/css-pseudo-elements
