Every weekend, Bob gets to do another upgrade

Bob, 5.1.3 alpha is out

Full list of the update

We're proud to announce the release of vBulletin 5.1.3 Alpha X. This is a maintenance release focused on resolving issues within the software. All together over 175 issues have been resolved in vBulletin 5.1.3 Connect. We've also fixed issues with PHP 5.5.X and PHP 5.6.X in this release.

Pagination
In addition to the pagination in the floating filter bar, many pages throughout the system have had page navigation added at the bottom of the page. This navigation is in line with the page number based navigation that customers have been asking for.
The following locations have been affected:

Forums Channel - Topics tab

Forums Channel - Latest activity tab

Forum Topic Page - Posts tab

Site Builder: Delete Pages
We've added a the interface to allow the deletion of custom pages. When editing a custom page, the Delete Page control will appear in the upper right corner of the Site Builder Tools.

AdminCP Style
The CSS applied to the AdminCP has been updated to improve readability and usability based on customer feedback. You can view screenshots here: http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBV-12728

Customer Feedback
We're continuing to make a number of improvements to the look and feel of the software based on customer feedback. These are often small tweaks and fixes to the layout that may not be immediately apparent. One of the changes in this category is a link to the top of the page in the footer navigation bar. Other changes in vBulletin 5.1.3 Alpha include removing the border radius on the lower corners of the footer and adjustments to the post display including a line between the signature and post content.

This version is available to all customers with an active vBulletin 5 Connect License.

I was about to give some credit for this "bug fix". http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBV-12550

But at the bottom there is a comment from QA that says they have no servers with PHP5.6 to test on.

Ok, it is still beta. But let's hope they put in some decent testing time in on PHP5.6 before the gold release.

Bob, what version PHP does your server have?

5.1.3 originally had removing a lot of white space listed in the planned release notes
That's gone and not listed in the planned 5.1.4 release either

Good to see that they are addressing the amount of queries required to render a page, however small the reductions are good.

Good to see that some aesthetic changes are taking place too.

I have 5.5.12 now. I plan to do a test of 5.6 so I think I'll do it for the test site. It's real simple to change php versions on the fly with IIS.

Looks like that vulnerability could not have come at a better time if you have been following a thread on vb org
http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showpost.php?p=2507155&postcount=67

And they still say the hook system was removed because it made vb vulnerable to hacking

A big giveaway to how vB is going is the replies made to the official announcement thread of the release of this upgrade .. Since Monday, the day of the announcement there have been 11 posts, 5 made by Staff, 1 made by a Staff in disguise he also made this thread http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/foru...as-anyone-realized-how-awesome-vbulletin-5-is the rest made by 3 other members ..

Have you got any proof that the above linked thread is a member of staff in disguise?
Who ever it is, uses an American dictionary, which if true, rules out the likes of Mark and Paul

I would also not determine that person to be staff in disguise. It is just someone who doesn't really use the software properly yet.
