vBulletin 4.2.2 Alpha has been released

[vB.Org System]

The current 4.2.2 alpha 1 build has now been released as a public alpha.

All vB4 & vB5 licence holders should have access to download it in the members area.
The primary focus of 4.2.2 is php 5.4 compliance, however, a few other items/issues are included as well.

You are advised not to use this for production sites, as the build still has php 5.4 related errors.
Generally speaking however, these errors will not cause you any issues other than displaying warnings on the page.

Please run this version on a test set-up, using php 5.4, and log (in Jira) any other (5.4) related errors that you come across.
