vBulletin Blog 2.0.0 Beta 4

It's time for another Blog 2.0 beta release, hopefully the final beta release. This release contains bug fixes for issues reported in the previous beta. We recommend anyone using Blog 2.0.0 Beta 3, upgrade to avoid running into known issues. Some of the previous Beta 3 downloads were labeled as Beta 4. If you're version says Beta 4 and you downloaded it the day Beta 3 was released, then you really have Beta 3. You will still need to download the "real" Beta 4.

Details of the features and enhancements included since v1.0 can be found in my previous announcement or in my blog.

Note: You must be running vBulletin 3.7.3 or later to install any Blog 2.0.0 Beta release! Blog 2.0.0 final will require vBulletin 3.7.4.

Significance of a Beta Release
This is beta 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 beta version.

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

Beta software is unsupported and you install beta versions at your own risk.
Some known minor bugs remain unresolved at this time, so beta software should not be on production sites.
Some unknown major bugs may exist, if you do not wish to be surprised by them, don't install this beta.
You should always back up your database fully before attempting to install beta software.
If you choose to install this version, you should be aware that we plan to release new beta versions in rapid succession as bugs are fixed and holes are plugged. Do not install this beta version if you are not willing or able to keep up-to-date with new releases.
