[Bug 1207140] Re: YouTube iframe filter doesn't support the //youtube.com URLs YouTube now provides in embed code
The patches for 1.6 and 1.7 incremented the date portion of the database
version number, instead of just incrementing the last two digits. I
pushed through a couple of quick-fix patches to revert the database
version number back to what it should be (see the two previous comments
by MaharaBot), and posted an announcement on the Mahara.org developer
forums for anyone unfortunate enough to have deployed the HEAD of
1.6_STABLE or 1.7_STABLE to their site in the past 26 hours:

YouTube iframe filter doesn't support the //youtube.com URLs YouTube

Bug description:
In response to FireFox's change in not supporting iframes with a
http/https protocol that doesn't match the protocol of the parent
page, YouTube's embed code now lists protocol-relative URLs. These
start with "//www.youtube.com", no "http://". This is a standard type
of relative URL/URI, but our code doesn't support it.
Since we already store the allowed iframe domains without a protocol
in front of them, we should also support these protocol-relative URLs.
To replicate:
1. Open up a YouTube video on youtube.com
2. Click "Share" and then "Embed"
3. Make sure you have NOT ticked the "Use old embed code" box
4. You should get an iframe embed code, like this: <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/NkyEOrQiGMQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
5. Paste this into an external media block or a text block in Mahara
Expected result: You should be able to view the video once you've saved the block
Actual result: The block will not display the video
