phpBB 3.0.12 maintenance was released and they advised to apply this upgrade as soon as possible. Following is the complete announcement:

-------------------------
We are pleased to announce the release of phpBB "Richard 'D¡cky' Foote" 3.0.12. This version is a maintenance release fixing various bugs but not adding any new features. We have updated the list of bots/spiders, further improved compatibility with recent PHP versions, and support MySQL fulltext search on InnoDB for those MySQL versions which provide it. The custom BBCode token LOCAL_URL has been modified to operate closer to its description. If you have any custom BBCodes using the token you should test if the custom BBCode still functions correctly or if you need to replace the token with the new RELATIVE_URL token. Moderators are no longer exempt from post approval, instead the permission "Can post without approval" is applied as it is for all other users. We now reject very long password inputs immediately to save on resources during password checks.

We urge you to update your installation as soon as possible. Our support team will only support phpBB 3.0.12, updates to phpBB 3.0.12 and conversions to phpBB 3.0.12. Submissions to our trackers for older versions will not be accepted, please make sure you update before you submit a bug report.

If you use a language pack other than the default "English [GB]", you should check our downloads section, an update may already be available.

We would also like to say a special thank you to everyone outside the development team who has contributed a patch to this release: Marc Alexander, Patrick Webster, Fyorl, erangamapa, Senky, Igor Wiedler, Vjacheslav Trushkin, Andy Chase, Gaëtan Muller, Callum Macrae, Carlo, MattFriedman, Vinny, Adonais Romero González, Bruno Ais, Crizz0, DavidTobin, JordanRogers, Joseph Warner, Martin Beckmann, Matthew Fonda, MichaelC, Oyabun1,Sajaki, Victor Nagy, gamerchan, hjpotter92, riadhchtara, westr.

If you experience problems with the automatic update (white screens, timeouts, etc.) we recommend using the "changed files only" or "patch" method for updating.

Full Package: Full phpBB 3 source code and english language files.

Automatic Update Package: Update package for the automatic updater, contains changes from previous release to this release.

Changed Files Only: Complete files, but only those that were changed since previous releases of phpBB 3. This archive contains changed files for every previous release.

Patch Files: This file contains diffs against the previous phpBB 3 release, which can be applied with the patch utility.

Select the package most suitable for you. We recommend the following methods depending on your situation:

- For new installations you should use the Full Package
- For updates of boards without modifications you can use the Automatic Update Package (guided update) or the Changed Files Only package (manual update).
- For updates of boards with modifications you should use the Automatic Update Package. If you are confident with patch files and patching you can use the Patch Files Package.
- Style Authors and Translators may use the Code Changes Package to update their styles or language packs.
- International Support Teams may use the Patch Package in conjunction with the Code Changes to better support users with problematic conflicts during their update process or to help them update code sections.
- If you are a hoster/provider, you may want to use the Patch Files Package to update all of your client installations.

*Please ensure you read the INSTALL and README documents in docs/ before proceeding with installation, updates or conversions!*
