After a full year, here is a new patch to fix a few little bugs and ensure compatibility with PHP 8.2.

Be aware that some templates have been updated, so if you have modified a template, make sure not to accidentally overwrite your own.

If you're updating from an older version than 1.6.8, it's recommended that you delete the entire "chickenpaint" folder before replacing it with the new one.  If you already have 1.6.8, there are no updates for ChickenPaint and you do not need to touch this folder.

As usual, Wacintaki is no longer under active development, but I will continue to release patches as issues arise.  New versions of PHP always manage to break something.  8)

If you have 1.6.8 or newer, get the 1.6.8 to 1.6.9 update, as it has far fewer files to update than the primary patch.

Head on over to the products download page to get patches for 1.6.7 or older.
