Extension Description:
Will add a colour to the forum category when new post is made.
- Rewritten to work through phpBB's own events and template events. It no longer changes phpBB's core files (`includes/functions_display.php`) or the prosilver template (`forumlist_body.html`), so phpBB updates leave it alone.
- No longer needs the `dmzx/editor` extension.
- The header of a forum category is coloured, with a soft glow, when one of its forums has unread posts for the reader. Guests see nothing special, since phpBB treats everything as read for them.
- Upgrading from 1.x: disable the old extension and click `Delete Data` first (this restores the two files 1.x changed), then replace the folder and enable it again.
- Requires phpBB 3.3.0 or newer, PHP 8.1 or newer.
- Update composer.json.
