vBSEO 3.5.0 RC3 now available!

Hello vBSEO customers and friends,

vBSEO 3.5 RC3 is now Available
The vBSEO development team has been hard at work putting together our latest 3.5 release, Release Candidate 3. RC3 Final fixes all reported bugs since RC2 Final and core changes in vB 4.0.2. You will now find a link for RC3 in the http://www.vbseo.com/downloads/ area for all licensed customers who wish to test this pre-release software.

vBulletin 4.0.3 Tested!
While vBSEO 3.5 RC3 is theoretically "Release Candidate" software, it has undergone extensive testing, both, through our own QA process as well as many many customer installations in both, vBulletin 3 series and vBulletin 4 series. In addition, vBSEO 3.5.0 R3 has been tested against the upcoming vBulletin 4.0.3 (in Pre-release state) and we don't anticipate changes for vBulletin's 4.0.3 Final release. If any updates are required for 4.0.3 we will let everyone know.

Note: If this is your first time upgrading from anything other than RC1 or RC2, please be sure to read our prior announcement vBSEO 3.5 Release Candidate 1 is here! for file deletions. vBSEO 3.5 RC1 and higher use different file names and directories for a more optimal structure that matches vB's new schema and security.

Where is 3.5 Gold?
RC3 is our last anticipated Release Candidate build before vBSEO 3.5 Gold. We are planning a *short* RC phase followed by the final vBSEO 3.5 Gold release. Of course, as always, the schedule will highly depend on bug reports and problems that we may encounter during this phase.

Important Notices:

• Make sure you backup your settings before upgrading
• Make sure that config.xml is chmod 666 to be able to set a new password for your Control Panel
• Please report all bugs discovered via the vBSEO Plugin Bug Reporting Forum, NOT via this thread.
• As this is not final software, installation on live boards is not recommended. Fixes to problems may not be readily available until the next release.

vBSEO Sitemap 2.6 Beta 2 Released!
We have released vBSEO Sitemap 2.6 Beta 2 publicly alongside the RC3 release. This new build adds compatibility with the new CMS URLs in vBulletin 4. 2.6 is the only version that should be run alongside vBulletin 4 for best compatibility. RC3 works correctly with sitemap 2.6 Beta 2.
The updated sitemap is compatible with both vBulletin 3 and vBulletin 4. It is available via the http://www.vbseo.com/downloads/ area for all licensed customers.

Enjoy!

Thanks for your support. It seems that the file wasn't available for the package builder.
Please send the updated file to me. Once I receive it, I'll ask the developers to create a new package so that Spanish language will be included.
