8. Extensions

9. Backwards Compatibility

• replaced GetConfigValue("setting") with config['setting']
• replaced config['root_url'] with config['base_url'] - since mode_rewrite is handled in the run function root_url became obsolete

10. Known Issues

1. To use Captcha, you must ensure that the session settings in freecap.php do not differ from the default values or your config settings, else Captcha can't pass its values to the session. In the following link you find a workaround:
   • Fixing Captcha And Session^[link13]
2. toc action does not recognize include page structure^[link14]
3. broken POST & reset of Session in menu section via user settings which requires you to logout and login to refresh the changed bookmarks / menu
   • HOTFIX: add the {{menu}} action into a seperate page and edit the menu items / bokkmarks there
4. Not compatible with PHP 5.4! - see bugs:422^[link15]
