vBulletin 3.5 Beta 2

If you are currently running 3.5 Beta 1 or are considering upgrading an existing board, please be sure to read the entire announcement.

The majority of changes that 3.5 Beta 2 brings are simply bug fixes for various issues in Beta 1. However, there are some changes of note:

* Beta 2 brings a totally rewritten message editor. This new editor has more extensible code, more features and should be quite a bit faster (especially for IE). There are a significant number of mandatory template changes because of this (please see below). More extensive information about the new message editor is available here.
* The phpinclude_start and phpinclude_end templates have been removed. You should use the global_start and global_end hooks instead.
* The forum description field is no longer limited to 250 characters. In addition, boards that like to use HTML markup in their forum titles will notice that the forum title within <title> tags will no longer include HTML.
* To open or close a thread from forum display, you now use a double-click instead of a single-click.

As this is still a beta release, the same caveats from Beta 1 still apply:

* Beta software is unsupported. You should install beta versions at your own risk.
* Known issues exist within this version. You should not install beta software 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.
* ImpEx does not support the 3.5 code yet, and will not support it until the release of 3.5.0 (stable).

Javascript Issues
As Beta 2 contains some fairly extensive changes to various javascript systems, you may need to warn your users that they should expect to have to empty their caches or do hard-refreshes from time to time to make sure that they have the latest javascript code.

Installation / Upgrade
These use the same process as all previous vBulletin 3 releases. Please refer to an earlier release announcement for full instructions.
