You will need to upload the new /xenbase/ folder to take advantage of the latest Font Awesome 4.7.0 if you use the local Font Awesome version

Here's a list of the current changes in 1.5.11, there's a lot of improvements in this release so we hope you enjoy!
  • ADDED Off-Canvas Sidebar ability (activates by default on the Wide Width Setting)
  • ADDED Option to reduce navigation size while floating
  • ADDED By default all rating stars are powered by Font Awesome ( Style Properties -> [XB] Font Awesome
  • ADDED New design to the social logins, far easier to customize now as well
  • ADDED Option to hide visitor text and just use FA icons (requires the FA icons to be enabled) Style Properties -> [XB] Font Awesome
  • ADDED Font Awesome 4.7.0 which comes with 41 new icons some of which are really nice!
  • ADDED Option to activate the responsive message controls at your desired width (default ResponsiveWide Setting)
  • ADDED Option for tags to easily style them. You can set your own height: Style Properties -> [XB] General Setup
  • ADDED Option to style the polls in the style properties -> [XB] Misc Pages
  • ADDED Option to split the default XF login / sign up link into 2 separate links. Enabled by default but can be turned back to the old method by going to Style Properties -> Login Bar.
  • FIXED Floating navigation landing on random spots after page load
  • FIXED user tabs in the moderator bar where the username alert bubble was flickering when hovering menus
  • FIXED Button in quicksearch being out of alignment in mobile
  • FIXED Left some old html inside the quick search nav dropdown
  • FIXED Missing upload button on FireFox, quick CSS fix provided here
  • FIXED a problem where the sub-nav had a margin-right to compensate for the quick search even if it wasn't in the default location
  • FIXED Message control overlay not closing after unchecking box
  • FIXED Message control icons being out of alignment
  • ADJUSTED Social links, you may need to revert your property: Style Properties: ├ ─ Social Links -> Social Icon CSS for the changes to take place. Essentially made them easier to style.
  • ADJUSTED Conversation headers to remove the avatar spacing to allow more room
  • ADJUSTED The sidebar visitor panel was hiding if the user panel was enabled
  • ADJUSTED Layouts now hide the Date + Post # in the message footer if the header bar is enabled
  • ADJUSTED Navigation popups no longer inherit the popup styling from the default popups (this xf design choice would sometimes add unwanted effects to the navigation popups)
  • ADJUSTED The way XF calculates the main navigation and sub nav to allow for further customization without the extra hassle
  • REMOVED: "Enable New Posts Link", this was an option with the old setup of the user panel but going forward you can use the template: navigation_visitor_tab_after which will work better as it loads in the user panel and in responsive
  • REMOVED: "Enable User Avatar" in the User Panel options, it is now controlled via the normal option in [XB] Header And Navigation
  • REMOVED: "Hide Text in User Panel" This is now covered by a property via: Style Properties -> [XB] Font Awesome, essentially you need the font awesome icons in the user navigation enabled anyways to hide the text

Common 1.5.11 Upgrade Problems:

I can't see my sub-navigation?
We added a new setup to calculate the way XF determines the height of the navigation and sub-nav... you may have an outdated navigation template if you're not seeing your sub-nav. Double check that the template is not out of date. Additionally make sure you don't have the "Disable Sub-Navigation" option checked in Style Properties -> [XB] Header and Navigation

My tags look messed up?
You may need to revert: Style Properties -> [XB] General Setup -> Tags CSS, then re-style with the color customization you previously made.
