Hi everyone, 

We've just released CMS Builder v3.59, this is the official release with a few more fixes since the last beta release.  

This is mostly a maintenance release with some PHP 8.x fixes and performance improvements.

Here's the changelog: 

*** June 2, 2023 - Version 3.59 (PHP 8 now required)

SERVER REQUIREMENTS
- This software version REQUIRES: PHP 8.0+ and MySQL 5.5+

MINOR CHANGES
- Server Info: "Admin > General > Server" has been updated to display more info about server
- Server Info: "Admin > General > Server" now provides links for viewing MySQL status and variables
- Backups: CMS Backups are now created as temp files and renamed on completion to prevent partial backups on error
- Translations: Added some additional text to the translation system

It may have been a custom mod on my part that I did not document. It is a very handy mod.

cmsb/lib/menus/default/list_functions.php

function _getColumnDisplayValueAndAttributes($fieldname, &$record) {
  global $schema, $tableName;
  $fieldValue  = @$record[$fieldname];
  $fieldSchema = @$schema[ $fieldname ];
  if ($fieldSchema) { $fieldSchema['name'] = $fieldname; }

  // default display value and attribute
  if (!is_array($fieldValue)) { $fieldValue = htmlencode($fieldValue); }
  $displayValue = $fieldValue;

  //$tdAttributes = "style='text-align:left'";
  $tdAttributes = "style='text-align:left' data-column='$fieldname'"; // JAS mod

Another mod I find useful is adding a clearfix to the tabgroup to prevent unsightly display when displaying some text in a separator tab

## cmsb/lib/fieldtypes/tabGroup.php

around line 40

$html .= '<div class="tab-content clearfix" id="sectionTabContent">'; // JAS add clearfix
