Updated my test board (locally), no issues so far with all of the extensions in development there installed. :)

I guess this needs to be documented, poked mrgoldy about.

Great,
I thought it would be useful to let people know and then note down in the changes the addition of the user interface for ACP mass-emails. :)

Issues resolved by pulling in the updated s9e/text-formatter might deserve a mention in the Bug Fixes list that goes public.
  • Certain emoji characters no longer render correctly after phpBB 3.2.6 (PHPBB3-16074)
    • BBCodes using {TEXT} token in HTML tags may not work after phpBB 3.2.6. (PHPBB3-16053)
