Releasing 3.1.0-a2

[nickvergessen]

Release Highlights

New Features

• Extension Routing - Extensions can now import routing files to split them up into different files.
• Responsive Design - Prosilver and the ACP style are now responsive designs, so the pages are more suitable for devices with small screens.

Notable Changes / Bug Fixes

• Convertor - The phpBB 2.0 to phpBB 3.0 convertor was updated, so it now also performs the changes from 3.0 to 3.1.
• {ROOT_PATH} in ACP - The template variable {ROOT_PATH} in ACP led to adm/ instead of the forum root. adm/ is now accessible with {ADMIN_ROOT_PATH}.
• Unable to revert config.remove migration - A bug was fixed, that would prevent reverting migrations, that use the config.remove option.

Known Issues

• Update on MSSQL - Updating a board from 3.0.x to 3.1 does not currently work on MSSQL
• Missing Layout on Update - The background color is not set on the Automatic-Update pages
• redirect from inside controllers/routes - redirect() is not working as intended if it is called from inside a controller/route.
