What's new
# RaxBoard 1.8.6
A single, narrowly scoped fix — but one that has been quietly undoing admin work
on every board that uses add-on widgets.
**Widgets you placed no longer disappear when you update an add-on.**
Every add-on that ships widgets registers them in the widget catalogue, and each
entry is referenced by an internal id. Updating such an add-on removed those
catalogue entries and wrote them back fresh, which handed every one of them a
*new* id — while the widgets you had positioned still pointed at the old ones.
The result: after each add-on update, the widgets vanished from their positions
and had to be placed again by hand. Nothing warned you, and the widget itself
was never at fault.
The catalogue entries are now updated in place on upgrade instead of being
removed and re-added, so your placements survive. Uninstalling an add-on still
removes its widgets, exactly as before.
This affected every add-on that ships widgets — Media Gallery, Latest Threads,
Resource Hub and any third-party add-on doing the same — so if you have been
re-placing widgets after updates, that stops here.
No database changes and no new migrations: upgrading is the file overlay plus
the usual upgrade run.
