Download vBulletin 3.5 RC2

Many websites have a forum where users can engage in various discussions with each other. To do this in a well-arranged form, a handy piece of software is needed so that you can assign different rights with which the forum can be managed. vBulletin is one of these forum packages and has been developed for a web server with a PHP-MySQL environment. The second release candidate was recently released by the developers with the following message:

Release Candidate 2 brings vBulletin 3.5 a step closer to becoming our main supported release. Note, however, that this is still not considered a stable release, though we hope it will become so.

This release is almost entirely bug fixes. The only two changes of note are fairly minor:

• The eAccelerator datastore method has been removed due to issues inherent to eAccelerator itself. If you are using this method, you will be seemlessly converted back to the standard database method. (More technical details are provided within class_datastore.php.)
• Product IDs can now be 25 characters long.

As this is still not considered a stable release, the same caveats from previous beta releases still apply:

• Pre-release software is unsupported. You should install pre-release versions at your own risk.
• You should always back up your database fully before attempting to install pre-release software.
• If you choose to install this version, you should be aware that there may be a new version released within a very short period of time. Do not install this version if you are not willing or able to keep up-to-date with new releases.
• ImpEx does not support the 3.5 code yet, and will not support it until the release of 3.5.0 (stable).
