Topic: PunBB 1.2.21

A new security bug was reported for the latest 1.2 revision: a user could subscribe to the forums he didn't have a permission to read (if one knew the forum ID).

This bug is fixed and PunBB 1.2.21 is released. It is recommended that you update your PunBB 1.2.* installation.

Thanks to Smartys for report.

Visit Downloads page for the PunBB 1.2.21 packages and patches. Or get the latest revision from SVN.

Is the PunBB 1.2 branch going to continue to be maintained?

Good question. Seems things have halted here. I hope things pick up.

Yes, it is. If you have some suggestion or you have found some bugs, post it in an according forum.

Re: PunBB 1.2.21

I will be starting a community forum and decided to use PunBB. May i know what version is most stable to use? smile

Re: PunBB 1.2.21

Version 1.2.21 is most stable to use. You may upgrade to this version.
But you can use version 1.3. There are 2 branches: 1.2 and 1.3. Version 1.3 is more modern.
Version 1.3.4 is most stable to use.

Re: PunBB 1.2.21

But I heard that there was a huge problem converting from PunBB to other platforms.

Now is this true?

Or was this problem fixed?

Re: PunBB 1.2.21

I agree. Version 1.3.4 is the most stable version for me so far. So I suggest you use that.

Re: PunBB 1.2.21

both versions probably will be discontinued once punbb 2.0 is released.

Re: PunBB 1.2.21

I heard Punbb version 2.0 is on its way. Is this true? When will it be released?

Re: PunBB 1.2.21

I don't really know about PunBB 2.0 but as of May 2009 the latest release was PunBB 1.3.4 with the XSS vulnerability fix.

Re: PunBB 1.2.21

Would you guys recommend holding back installation until PunBB 2.0 is released or is it still some way off?

Also, V2 going to be a major overhaul?

I was going to set it up on a site this weekend for the first time but if v2 is due out it seems a bit silly learning the install/running/operating procedures only to have to learn it all again in a few weeks.

Re: PunBB 1.2.21

Re: PunBB 1.2.21

I don't know where you got the news regarding punBB version 2 but as far as I know 1.3.4 is the latest version and everything's been stagnant in the punBB world lately. sad

Re: PunBB 1.2.21

Well in that case, maybe it's smart to use version 1.2.21 as what the admin has recommended.  My clients will be disappointed if ever the later versions will just crash.

How can you say that it's quite stagnant lately? You mean, no support, no updates?
