The UBB.threads System Requirements Test script has been updated, the 20190727 release has the following changes:
- Added: Added a filesize display, which will show filesizes as they're expected (as bytes/megabytes/gigabytes; see $conf["filesize"]).

- Added: We now check for the PHP function "exif_read_data" which can read your device orientation for photo uploads.

- Added: We now check for the UBB.threads configuration variable "IPGEO_LOOKUP" (Enable Reverse Geo-IP Lookups).
- Added: Introduced a basic troubleshooter which will detect issues with your UBB.threads configuration
- Added: Added a troubleshooter for chmods greater than 755 while operating under suphp for both your forum and forum admin folders.

- Change: The "max_execution_time" notice now recommends a value no higher than 60.

The UBB.threads System Requirements Test script has been updated, the 20201025 release has the following changes:

Added: Added a new debug mode which will allow one to see what values the test script arrays contain.
Added: Added new configuration checks for v7.7.5 values (Pinterest, Like Locked Threads, etc.)
Added: Added the ability to submit your server and UBB.threads configuration values to the UBB.threads developers (UBBDev.com); this will allow us to troubleshoot your UBB.threads configuration or server configuration issues (note that all usernames and passwords are not sent with your payload; these values will display as they do within the Test Script as "[Scrubbed for Security]"; you can validate what values are sent by viewing the source of the test script on your webserver and scrolling down to the "<input type="hidden" name="payload" value="[h2]UBB.threads Configuration[/h2]" line).
Added: Added the HTML5 Valid badge, with updated coding for displaying the script URL on a target server.
Change: The MySQL/MySQLi check has been retooled to not display a warning when mysql_ commands are missing when the mysqli_ commands are present (mysqli_ commands are present in PHP5); the MySQL functions were removed from PHP in PHP7 in favor of the MySQLi functions.

TLDR; Debug Mode, New Configuration Checks, Can now submit configurations for support, HTML5 Badge, Don't display a mysql_ warning when mysqli_ is present.

The UBB.threads System Requirements Test script has been updated, the 20210801 release has the following changes:

Added: A Current MySQL Connections calculation has been added to the Maximum Allowed Connections variable
Added: Script Version Reporting (current UBB.threads Test Script version) is now also submitted with the Submit Server Information payload.
Added: The current (as of release) versions of UBB.threads, PHP7.4, and PHP5.4 are now displayed for max/minimum release comparison.
Change: PHP5.4 is now a minimum (due to now utilizing the PHP Short Array Syntax)
Change: Fontawesome CDN version updated
Change: UBB.threads URLs have all been updated, VNC Web Services properties (VNC Web Services, UBBDev, UBBWiki) and UBBCentral no longer utilize WWW in the URL
Change: The minimum/maximum UBB.threads version calculation has been retooled and PHP8 is now a factor in calculations (which results in an error as UBB.threads v8 has yet to be released).
Fix: Properly defining arrays prior to utilizing them
Fix: Properly sanitizing both $config arrays (parsing is now done within the while loop vs relying on filtering earlier in line)
