​

2.0 Final has been released

« on: June 11, 2011, 07:43:37 PM »​

Simple Machines Forum Team is proud to announce the release of the long awaited SMF 2.0 Final version to the public.

This release marks the transition of SMF 2.0 into the current stable release of SMF, as well as the rebirth of the SMF project as open source software, as it was meant from the start.
As of now, SMF is licensed under the BSD License.

Also, SMF 1.1.14 was released, addressing a vulnerability found in SMF 1.1.13 allowing display name spoofing as well as fixing a MySQL 5.5 compatibility issue. We strongly recommend that all users of 1.1.x line to upgrade as soon as possible.

For users of SMF 2.0 RC5, this release consists primarily of several bug fixes - most notably it fixes the login protection and possibility of real name spoofing. These issues have serious security implications, and we urge users to upgrade to it as soon as possible. For users of SMF 1.1, the changes between 1.1 and 2.0 are too numerous to list here - but we're sure you will be pleased with the new features SMF 2.0 has to offer.

The following are the more important changes and fixes since SMF 2.0 RC5:

• Fixes to login protection system
• Real name spoofing prevention
• MySQL 5.5 compatibility fixes
• Several PostgreSQL related fixes
• Fixes to integration hooks
• Several user interface fixes
• Fixes related to member profile updates
• Fixes to upgrade scripts

For a complete list of changes, please find the changelog as usual, on the downloads page, and the list of known issues in SMF 2.0 in the Online Manual.

With this release we'd like to take the opportunity to recognize the effort and dedication of all the people who have volunteered their time to help the SMF project. We would like to thank everyone, past and present, who has contributed to the development of SMF over the past years.

Finally - please do not use this topic for support requests. You will get a much quicker and better response by posting in the relevant support board!

Very long time in the making

 

No you're wrong. Very Very Very long time in the making lol. Well finally its out and I hope they can get back on track. Did you update?

 

I just updated my forum....I will see the results

 

Good luck let us know how it goes, and if you like what it has to offer.

 

Coming over from the other thread, I agree there wasn't anything new that I noticed since RC5. Seems like all they did were fixes before releasing it.

 

Hopefully they can start doing that now as all the problems and drama seem to be over.

 

I agree, and its a good reason why I switched from SMF to vBulletin. I wasn't happy with how SMF was going especially with the updates, but this is great news.

 

Anyone mind giving a small review? Im thinking of running one of my forums under it, but I don't want to jump into it if its still crappy.

 

It's not worth it, MyBB or even phpBB3 is much better. I'd go with MyBB if I were you.

 

Yea, Im on phpbb3 right now but I can't find any themes that arnt overused lol

 

Definitely not worth it Daniel, you are much better of with MyBB or phpBB, but my preference would be MyBB.
