Developers

Alterations made to the delete_comment_additional hook

Added a new parameter $comment_ids and moved the hook above the delete query.

Removed the comment_form_action hook

This hook has been removed from mod.comment.php.

Field Type code deprecation warning

We have noticed in a number of third party Field Types that developers are accessing the field_id via $this->settings[‘field_id’]. This is incorrect and is not a supported property of that array. We have included a hack for this point release to allow these Field Types to continue working, however this hack will be removed in ExpressionEngine 2.1.2.

Please update your code to use $this->field_id as documented as soon as possible so that sites using your Field Types do not break in future releases.
