This update has removed a patch which is previously used to protect users against session exhaustion problem that hurts when heap session table is used, which is common and is suggested by phpBB developers in the MySQL 3.x age. Unfortunately, the continued phpBB development has more and more (ab)use of the session table and simply rejecting anonymous session is no longer feasible, as it causes problem for many places in phpBB especially for its new features. Instead of using the patch, users have to re-create session table if they used heap session table in the past, to prevent the DoS problem. This would not cause serious performance penalty for newer MySQL versions.
