vBulletin Blog 2.0.0 Release Candidate 1 Released

vBulletin Blog 2.0.0 Release Candidate 1

It's time for another Blog 2.0 beta release. This release contains bug fixes for issues reported in the previous beta. We recommend anyone using Blog 2.0.0 Beta 4, upgrade to avoid running into known issues. This version requires vBulletin 3.7.4. If you are using Beta 3 on vBulletin 3.7.3, you will need to upgrade to vBulletin 3.7.4 before installing this release.

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 3.7.4 or later to install Blog 2.0.0

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.

About Blog

vBulletin Blog is a fully featured blogging add-on that enables community members to create their very own online blogs within vBulletin. Giving members a place to post thoughts, ideas and musings will keep users returning to the community again and again, and advanced administration features allow forum owners and moderators to keep control and integrate Blog into vBulletin’s existing look and feel.

vBulletin Blog makes it simple for community members to create their own space within the community. Getting started is as simple as posting the first message (using the same familiar vBulletin editor). There is no lengthy setup process - blog owners are free to personalise their blog at any time by defining a title and a description that will appear at the top of every blog post.
