Update time!

Today I present the newest version (i skipped a version, dont be confused) 1.4.4 which will be RC3.
Introducing a few new features as requested and a bunch of fixes:

v1.4.4rc3

- Fixed a bug which would cause intense logfile spamming
- Fixed steam sessions not being permanent

v1.4.3rc3

- Fixed quotes in Steam usernames messing up the register template
- Fixed browser error when redirecting from steam login back to the forum url (primarily) on Windows machines
	(directed to https:// instead of http://, now replaced with an option in the STC settings)
- Fixed group maintenance function not using cache for group data when the maintenance operation is split up in multiple steps
- Fixed potential security flaw in useradministration if using custom query fields
- Added Cron job to update user <-> steam group assocations every night (basically does what the mainenance script does, now once every night)
- Added option to disallow unlinking of steamaccount. In this case, unlinking is only possible through admincp
- Added ability to unlink account completely with a checkbox as the last field, updating usergroups as well.
	(before, if you set the steamid to empty string, it only removed the steam assocation, but didn't change the usergroups)
- Added memcached as optional cache system
- Reworked file cache system
- Updated steamconnect cache dir option, now a writable cache directory is required.
- Updated some option description strings to better describe which values to use.
- General code optimization

Anyone who had the browser error that the connection has been lost will be happy, because this is now solved.

The requested feature that users aren't allowed to unlink their account is now available too (optional) from the admincp settings.

If you're having a huge forum and want to make use of memcached, you'll find the optional memcache system there as well. xcache may be supported in the future if necessary, altough I think most will be covered with memcached, since it's clearly the more popular choice.

For anyone who uses the feature of usergroups depending of certain steamgroups the user is in, the update functionalities to monitor users leaving/joining said steamgroups now runs every night, so this should be improved as well.

Update process is straight-forward:

1) turn off your vbulletin
2) import the xml file as product, choose overwrite when uploading
3) upload and overwrite all existing files within the upload directory of the archive. Images may be omitted, if you use your own custom ones of course.

NOTE: To anyone who uses a logfile to log all steam connect actions, make sure to empty the logfile since it may have grown to a large filesize. There has been a bug which caused intense logging which has now been fixed.

Let me know if any problems turn up or anything doesn't work correctly.

Remember: Always back up your forum before performing updates!
