vBulletin Project Tools 2.0.0 Release Candidate 1 Released

vBulletin Project Tools 2.0.0 Release Candidate 1

This release contains bug fixes for issues reported in the previous beta. For the most part, the issues were not significant, so we have moved into the release candidate stage. If everything goes as well with this release as it went with the last beta release, we're very close to a stable release.

We recommend anyone using a previous Project Tools 2.0.0 beta upgrade to avoid running into known issues.

The standard installation/upgrade instructions apply.

Note: You must be running vBulletin 3.7.0 or later to install any Project Tools 2.0.0 Beta/RC/stable release!

Significance of a Beta/RC Release
This is beta/RC 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 unsupported version.

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

• Beta software is unsupported and you install beta versions at your own risk.
• Some minor bugs remain unresolved at this time, so beta software should not be on production sites.
• 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.
