vBulletin 3.7.0 Release Candidate 2

THIS IS PRE-RELEASE 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 VERSION

Progress towards vBulletin 3.7.0 becoming our 'stable' version and replacing 3.6.x is going well, and the time has come to put out our second release candidate version.

Any customers currently using any other pre-release version of vBulletin 3.7.0 should upgrade as soon as possible.

What does Release Candidate mean?
Release Candidate, or RC for short, means that we believe vBulletin 3.7 will be ready to be declared a "stable" and "supported" supported release once it has undergone some final testing. The only known bugs that may remain are trivial.

RCs will be released until only trivial bugs are being fixed. Once this happens, the next stage is to move on to "gold" or, as it's officially known, 3.7.0.

This is still pre-release 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 version but rather wait for the final, 3.7.0 version.


Customers should bear in mind that this is a release candidate, not a certified 'stable' release so the following caveats apply:

• Pre-release software is unsupported and you install beta and RC versions at your own risk.
• Some minor bugs remain unresolved at this time, so pre-release software should not be deployed on production sites.
• You should always back up your database fully before attempting to install pre-release software.
• If you choose to install this version, you should be aware that we plan to release new RC versions in rapid succession as bugs are fixed and holes are plugged. Do not install this RC 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).

what is going on here? Just released 3.6.9 yesterday and today 3.7.0 RC2?

you did not follow the release timeline rapidphim... 3.7.x serie is a different release from the 3.6... the 3.6.9 you see yesterday is a bug fix for the 3.6 version.
