Empty remote_url_allow_hosts now blocks all remote host access in new version
In this version, empty<remote_url_allow_hosts></remote_url_allow_hosts>will block all access to remote hosts while in previous versions it did nothing. If you want to keep old behaviour and you have emptyremote_url_allow_hostselement in configuration file, remove it. #20058 (Vladimir Chebotarev).
