vBulletin 3.7.0 Beta 3 Released
 

vBulletin 3.7.0 Beta 3

THIS IS BETA SOFTWARE.
IT IS UNSUPPORTED.

If you are not fully at home with backing-up and restoring your forum, dealing with bugs and regular upgrades, DO NOT INSTALL THIS BETA VERSION

This release combines a roll-up of all the bug fixes made since the release of vBulletin 3.7.0 Beta 2 with extended functionality for the social groups system.

If you are already running vBulletin 3.7.0 Beta 2, you should upgrade immediately to Beta 3 so that you will not be running into any known bugs.

New Social Groups Functionality
vBulletin 3.7.0 Beta 3 introduces more features for social groups, allowing them to be set up with different membership schemes; those being:

• Joinable without owner confirmation
• Joinable only with owner confirmation
• Joinable only by invitation

(Once again)
Significance of a Beta Release
This is beta software. If you are not fully at home with backing-up and restoring your forum, dealing with bugs and regular upgrades, do not install this beta version.

Customers should bear in mind that this is a public beta, not a certified 'stable' release so the following caveats apply:

• Beta software is unsupported and you install beta versions at your own risk.
• Some minor bugs remain unresolved at this time, so beta software should not be on production sites.
• You should always back up your database fully before attempting to install beta software.
• If you choose to install this version, you should be aware that we plan to release new beta versions in rapid succession as bugs are fixed and holes are plugged. Do not install this beta version if you are not willing or able to keep up-to-date with new releases.
• The ImpEx import system does not support the 3.7 code yet, and will not support it until the release of 3.7.0 (stable).

More...

Beta 3 is finally here! Awesome, that means the Gold release shouldn't take too long now. :D

Hi, we are working on it, Bets Regards. Installed.

ya know, we can have 14 betas before a list of RC and then the Gold...

as new settings were added, it may be the best time to suggest some changes to what was added... before the RC... (RC means release candidate, where no more additions are made.)

I don't imagine many more releases will be made. It's pretty darn stable, and no ones had any major problems with it. I'm running it live for a very, very active community, and it's running like a charm - loving the performance boost!

Seems stable and fine here as well. No problems with data loss or errors, except a few minor options not selectable due to a clash with vB Credits. Heck, quite a few version 3.5 modifications seem to still work. But for anyone who really doesn't know what works, these do for a start:

PM Search
vB Shout
Photoplog (new version)
ibProArcade
Ishop

A few others as well I think...

I think we should wait until the gold part.

*installed*

works great for now

if you are not a coder or are not comfortable with this system yet, sure it is the best thing to do...

Cool! I'll be upgrading as soon as possible. :D
