To implement spiders as a system group we are making a breaking change in 1.8.0. If you are using
req.uidto determine if a user was logged in or not in your plugins you need to change it toreq.loggedIn.req.uidused to work because logged in users always had a positiveuidand guests had a uid of0. With 1.8.0 spiders will have a uid of-1so we added aloggedInproperty on the request object.https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/2304

Hi folks, congratulations with the release. I am looking forward to install it. Should I run this on a staging environment? How do I know if the plugins are working, is there a whitelist somewhere? I am using question-and-answer but it doesn't have the compatibility flag in package.json.

@jw-sbat Always make sure the plugins you are using are working fine before deploying to production. Even if the plugin doesn't specify compatibility directly it could still work. That property specifies a minimum nodebb version.
