A bug fix release. If your site has been running Proclaim since before March 2026, two settings screens have been silently discarding your input since then — this release repairs the database and both screens start saving correctly.

Podcasting 2.0 fields wouldn't save

Filling in Funding/Donation URL, Funding Button Text, Content License, License URL, Publisher Name, Podcast Index Verification, or Publishing Schedule on a podcast and clicking save showed "Item saved" — and then reopening the podcast showed the field empty again. The database columns for these fields were added to fresh installs back in March 2026, but sites that already existed at that point never received them, so every save of these fields was silently discarded. This update adds the missing columns; the fields will save normally afterward.

Linking a teacher to a Joomla user account had the same bug

Teachers → User Account had an identical gap: on any site that existed before March 2026, choosing a Joomla user to link to a teacher record never persisted. Fixed by the same database update.

No action needed beyond updating — both fixes are automatic once the update completes.
