I ask others to correct me if I've missed anything here.

As far as I know (based on my own experience and the reports here), pretty well everything in versions 2.2.9-post3 and 2.3.0-beta1 works perfectly with both vb 3.7 and 3.8. There are a few minor fixes needed to the code, basically to fix the integration with user profiles and to make the 'human verification' checks work.

1) User profile support. For both the 2.2.9-post3 and 2.3.0-beta1 code, you need to edit two LDM plugins, as described by Simon Lloyd in this post:

He says to change

PHP Code:

case "3.7": 


to

PHP Code:

case "3.8": 


in two places. You can also add the line

PHP Code:

case "3.8": 


immediately after the line

PHP Code:

case "3.7": 


Then the code will work with both vb3.7 and 3.8.

2) Human verification (only needed with the 2.2.9-post3 code):

In local_links.php, lines 1701 and 1819:

change

PHP Code:

if (VALID_VB_VERSION=="3.7") { 


to

PHP Code:

if (VALID_VB_VERSION>="3.7") { 


Ditto in local_links_search.php at lines 740 and 1014
