vBulletin 5.2.0 Connect Alpha 2 is now available.

[vB.Org System]

We're happy to announce the release of vBulletin 5.2.0 Alpha 2. Altogether over 100 issues have been resolved in vBulletin 5.2.0 Alpha 2. This is a major update to the software.

[warning]This version of vBulletin should not be deployed on Production Servers at this time. [/warning]

PHP Hooks
In addition to the other methods used for expanding vBulletin 5, we have implemented PHP Hooks in 5.2.0 Alpha 2. This will allow expansion of the software through third-party PHP Classes. This implementation is currently fairly basic and we're looking for feedback from third-party developers on both the implementation and placement of hooks. The current implementation is basic. More on PHP Hooks below.

Protocol-Relative Links
In order to better support running sites under both HTTP and HTTPS, we have converted all internal links to protocol-less links. This allows the browser to request the proper URL for including Javascript, CSS, and linking through forms and other tools.

Responsive Markup
In order to facilitate cleanup and enhancement of the responsive capabilities of themes, a new Responsive Markup Library has been added. This library will be used more in the future.
