I receive this error with the new version:

PHP Code:

Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in /***/***/***/includes/class_bitfield_builder.php on line 312 


Any fix?

[akanevsky]

Why would you receive that error? Just installed it on a clean 3.5.2 board, everything is fine...
Must be your bitfield builder is broken.

[TheProfessor]

I'm running a 3.5.0 version and I don't think it's such a huge diffenrece to 3.5.2 - could you maybe check what kind of code in your plugin results in this error message?

Cheers, Max!

My hack does not modify bitfuild builder class ( which is where your error occurs ). Therefore, the problem is not caused by this hack. It caused by something else.
