Offline user searching and more
New Features
- Offline User Searching
The search box will now search for offline users as well! To start out, only registered users who have logged into ArrowChat will show up. Guest name searching will be available in a future update.
- @User in Chat Rooms
You can now grab the attention of others users in chat rooms by using @UserName. The user's name will appear highlighted.
General
- HUGE performance boost. We've identified a few SQL queries that were taking a lot of server resources and fixed them.
- Added Elgg 2.0+ support.
- Guests can now change names in embedded and mobile chat.
- Using the 'allow mode' for group permissions now changes the chat room's group permissions from disallow to allow as well.
- Running maintenance no longer deletes admins or mods.
- Removed Smarty implementation.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed a memory leak with slimbox.
- Fixed Gravatars loading on http instead of https.
- Fixed an issue that caused the popout chat room icons to disappear.

- Fixed an issue with announcements in the admin panel.
- Fixed a rare issue with chat rooms not staying open.
Upgrade Instructions
Only perform these instructions if upgrading from v2.0.x. Otherwise, please follow the v2.0 upgrade instructions: http://www.arrowchat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2320
- Step 1: Backup your existing files
It's very important that you backup your files in case something goes wrong. You'll then have the old files that may help you fix any issues. - Step 2: Download and replace all files
Download the v2.1 update from our site and replace all the files on your server. Again, make sure that you backup language and theme files before doing this to make the transition easier. Replacing all the files will not delete any settings or information. - Step 3: Run the upgrade folder
Run the /arrowchat/upgrade/ folder in your browser (ex. http://www.yoursite.com/arrowchat/upgrade/) and follow the on-screen instructions. - Step 4: Update your theme
Make sure to update your theme files as there have been some changes to the CSS. - Step 5: Update your language (non-English)
There have been a few additions to the language file and non-English languages will need updating.
