Digests 3.2.3 (RC10) Released

In this version (compared with 3.2.2):

• Improvement: $user->format_date() is used to create dates that show correct date abbreviations based on the language pack used. Thanks to Petr Hendl, the Czech digest extension translator, for finding this built-in approach. Consequently, I removed the dateFormatToStrftime() function.
• Bug fix: Balance load previously ignored inactive users only. Now it also ignores bots, meaning normal users and founders are the only user types balanced.
• <br /> tags changed to <br> tags, since HTML 5 is not particular like XHTML.
• Improvement: make_tz_offset() checks for invalid user_timezone strings. If it is invalid, UTC is used for the timezone.
• Bug fix: Fixed a bug in the validateDate() function. It was incorrectly finding every user_timezone string invalid.
• Improvement: The digests cron calculates the date and hour digests were last run successfully, and uses this to determine if digests should be run. This should solve the potential hour creep problem and allow digests to go out for the hour on the hour even if the last time they were successfully sent out was not on the hour.
• Bug fix: The cron includes includes/functions_content.php only if it is not already loaded.
• Bug fix: Created a circuit breaker that prohibits a digest from going out as a duplicate if the timestamp for the time a user last received a digest indicates it is for the current date and hour.
• The cron adds a language pack only if it has not already been loaded.
• Improvement: Curly single and double quotes are now used in language strings.
• All hours processed by the cron show successful completion, even though individual digests may not go out successfully. This keeps the cron from getting stuck indefinitely at a certain date and hour.
