    MyBB 1.4 end of life

    MyBB 1.6 was released almost 8 months ago and since then has proven to be stable and secure. Therefore we will be concluding maintenance and support for the MyBB 1.4 series, and we encourage everyone who has not already done so to upgrade to MyBB 1.6 as soon as possible.
    The end of life date for MyBB 1.4 will be the 1st of July, 2011.
    After this date:​
    • We will not be offering official support for MyBB 1.4
    • There will be no further maintenance or security releases for the 1.4 series
    • The 1.4 support forums will be closed and archived
    If you require information on how to upgrade please consult our upgrade instructions, if you need further support please visit the support forums.

    Yea, 1.6 is basically the same just with few changes. MyBB 1.6 wasnt anything big at all.

    Upgrade from 1.4 to 1.6 is near seamless. I was able to fix my (heavily customized) theme in a matter of a few minutes - if you haven't made any changes to a template it's updated automatically; if you have, you just have to go to Find Updated Templates in the ACP and fix them manually there.

    Oh, thanks for clearing up the confusion for Mr Joker, I too never had problems with 1.6 when I used it. MyBB is always stable.
