| Title: Apprentice Join Date: Sep 2005 Posts: 447 ![]() | Hello, We are very pleased to announce the availability of the phpBB3 RC6 package. This is the sixth (and hopefully last) release candidate which is meant to become the Gold release if no more critical problems arise. This release is mostly the outcome of an external security audit performed by SektionEins. All items tagged as [Sec] were found by the company doing the audit and revealed some fundamental problems we were able to fix. We are proud that the audit revealed no sql injection vulnerability or critical command execution vulnerabilities. For release candidates full support is given, allowing language packs as well as modifications and styles. We only give support to those having a clean RC installation or updates from previous release candidates. Previous conversions or updates from betas will not be supported here. We encourage only those running the release candidates wanting to test out the new version, it is still recommended to wait for the full release; after all this is a release candidate. Please also note that we urge you to update - we only support the latest version. Bug reports submitted for previous releases will be closed as well as only the latest version being supported here. RC6 has seen some improvements as well as fixing some security issues. Some important fixes are:
Please refer to the changelog for a complete list of fixes since RC5: http://www.phpbb.com/support/documents. ... &version=3 A short explanation of how to do a conversion, installation or update is included within the provided INSTALL.html file, please be sure to read it. If you want to be on the safe side we suggest still waiting for later releases before you fully convert your 2.0.x installation. Important Due to the password storage mechanism changed, you will not be able to log in to your board if you try to use the updated database with files prior to RC6. Minimum Requirements phpBB3 has a few requirements which must be met before you are able to install and use it.
Security Security issues found should be reported to our security tracker in the usual way. Available packages If you experience problems with the automatic update (white screens, timeouts, etc.) we recommend using the "changed files only" or "patch" method for updating. With this release, there are four packages available.
Please ensure you read the INSTALL and README documents in docs/ before proceeding with installation, updates or conversions!. The automatic update package does not include the file includes/utf/data/recode_cjk.php. If you use a SJIS encoding or a variant you should replace this file manually with the version included within the full package. Download/Documentation
Have fun with the release, the phpBB Team More... | ||||

I wonder what the record is for most release candidates before a release lol.
