This is the July maintenance release, IPB 4.7.12 with fixes and improvements.  Detailed change log below.

On top of this update, we moved the Forum to a new webserver running on new Ryzen 7000 series hardware and DDR5, a nice upgrade but also up to date software and latest PHP as the old server was on dead centos 8, so not just performance but also security improvements.

Infrastructure changes:

• Moved to a new and upgraded dedicated server.
• Latest software updates to improve security
• Updated to latest PHP 8.2
• Fixed a google captcha error.
