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).
