Well PunBB is just FluxBB using really, Its just using the same code.

No themes are currently available because Paul is working hard on the new style sheet over on FluxBB.

As PunBB is using the same code as FluxBB, You should be able to use any of the FluxBB / PunBB extensions / styles on either of the forums.

in the future fluxbb will be moving away from what punbb will be. yeah they are using the same code base, but hopefully punbb will use there own ideas and only use fluxbb for security updates.

there is a descusion about if fluxbb is going tableless on most of the pages or not now punbb don't have to copy that but most likley will because it will allow cross compatiblity of styles and mods. now it would be good if punbb didnt use there tableless code beucase they might end up relying on fluxbb's mods and styles too much.

Hi,

Can I upgrade from 1.2.19 to 1.3 ?

Thanks.

Yes. Use db_update.php (see extras) script to migrate. Don't forget to back up your DB before update.
NB: 1.3 should not to be used in production mode until final release.

Thanks.

a) There are more and more differences between PunBB and FluxBB with time. The most significant is notification system for new versions of extensions installed. Though we are mostly concentrated on extensions now.
b) Dump old forum. Replace it with 1.3 (keeping old config.php), start db_update.php (from /extras/) and follow instructions. Remove db_update.php and install.php when finished.
c) Yes.

a) If this is the same thing anyway, should I just switch to fluxbb?
b) If not, how to I upgrade from punbb 1.2 to 1.3?
c) Does the theme that is being used here come with 1.3?

Anatoly, why 1.3 not in trunk? It not main version?

It's in RC status. It hasn't reached stable yet. 1.2* is still the current stable version.

Exactly! 1.3 is RC. 1.2 stable version, but not main version now (and i happy).

You are welcome to use public SVN to track changes: http://punbb.informer.com/svn/punbb/

Another checkout, my SVN directories have had a lot of changes lately. Seems like all the projects I follow have been changing their repositories. I archived the old SVN for nostalgic sake, it had the history of the 1.2 branch.

RC archives updated.

Thankyou.
