Hi everyone,

phpBB Group announces the release of phpBB 2.0.22. This release addresses several bugfixes and some security issues.
Language pack authors may note that one additional language variable had been added.

As with all new releases we urge you to update as soon as possible. You can of course find this download available on our downloads page. As per usual four packages are available to simplify your update.

• Full Package
  Contains entire phpBB2 source and English language package
• Changed Files Only
  Contains only those files changed from previous versions of phpBB. Please note this archive contains changed files for each previous release
• Patch Files
  Contains patch compatible patches from the previous versions of phpBB.
• Code Changes
  Contains step-by-step instructions in MOD format for updating heavily MODified installs

Select whichever package is most suitable for you.

Please ensure you read the INSTALL and README documents in docs/ before proceeding with installation or updates!.


It is important that you carry out both parts of the update - updating the files and running the database update script - for updates to be complete.

Such as?

I was referring to the slow development of phpBB3. They have never really been "on the ball" when it comes to developing new versions, but they have always been pretty good with security/bug fixes.

Chris

Ahh, right. My apologies.
