vBulletin 3.6.0

The vBulletin team is proud to present vBulletin 3.6.0 Gold.

vBulletin 3.6.0 is now our stable, fully supported version, superseding both 3.0.x and 3.5.x. While we will continue to support 3.0.x and 3.5.x with security and critical bug fixes, these lines are no longer in active development.

Many visitors to this forum will have been keeping tabs on the 3.6 beta and release-candidate versions that have been available for the past several weeks and will be familiar with what is new and improved in vBulletin 3.6. For those who have not seen what you can expect, there is a thread available here for your benefit.

What is a 'Gold' Version?

The term 'gold' in software terms has nothing to do with the color of the application. It refers to the practise of burning the final version of software to a gold CD-R in preparation for the manufacture of CDs for sale and distribution to customers, and is used to indicate that the code is finished. The official name of this new version is vBulletin 3.6.0.

PHP and MySQL Requirements

Please note that vBulletin 3.6.0 requires at least PHP 4.3.3 and MySQL 4.0.16 or later.

Installing or Upgrading vBulletin

Please see the appropriate manual sections: Installing vBulletin and Upgrading vBulletin.

Template Changes

Many templates have changed since 3.5.x in order to accommodate new features. As a result, you will need to revert several templates or some areas of your board will not function.

Changed Files

The majority of files have changed since the 3.5.x series, though a complete list is provided below.

Bug Reports

You may report bugs by clicking here. Before reporting a bug, please attempt to recreate the bug on a default, uncustomized style (especially if your errors are JavaScript related). Additionally, if you have used the plugins/products system at all, please attempt to recreate the issue with the plugins system disabled!

Wonder if it will be up and running again when I get home tonight?

Well they have just released a patch for it.
Shouldant be long before downloads with the patched version resume I guess.

Its back now.n :)

Will see if any problems have surfaced in the next 9 or 10 hours.
Then upgrade time :)

Sweet, that was quick.

I'll be upgrading either Saturday or Sunday probably.

From what I gather thats all it was.

IE didnt respect the MIME type for PDF's thereby allowing them to be potentialy exploited.

Milad made a thread listing hacks that were either verified to work or not to work. All other hacks were of unknown status. It's somewhere...

Well, anyone can contribute to the thread. :)

Well that sucks.... How about CMPS? Links?

And some others... like welcome headers

i upgraded my test site to see what would change... everything looks the same... all my old templates and hacks are there... but dont take my word for it... hopefully you have a testing site...

The warning system thats built in its really cool, have you noticed that?

Looks Good I will try it!

does that mean we should remove the inferno warning system after the new warning system?

Well there seems little point in having two warning systems.

Only if you feel the new one is better. And that of course should be based on your experience with both and not what others say.

The problem with that is, how to keep the old warning points on the new system.

And btw: does the new system also have the option to make it post a topic automatically for every warning, and does it send a pm to the user?

You have to upgrade to Photopost vBGallery 2.0.
