3. Open the main forum page in your browser and follow the instructions.

Upgrade from 1.3
NOTE: Make a backup of your current forum folder before proceeding. Also, don't forget to make a backup of your forum database. Use mysqldump for MySQL and pg_dump if you are using PostgreSQL. If you're using SQLite, just make a backup copy of the SQLite database file. You can also make database backups via most administration tools, such as MySQL Administrator, phpMyAdmin and phpPgAdmin.

1. Turn the Maintenance mode on via the admin panel.

2. Disable all extensions via the admin panel.

3. Overwrite the old files with the new ones.

4. After owerwriting, verify that the cache, img/avatars and extensions (for pun_repository) directories are set enough write permissions (usually 777 or 755).

5. Clear the cache directory.

6. Go to the forum index and run the db_update.php script (this may take a while to finish).

7. Update all the extentsions.

8. Turn on all the updated extensions.

9. Turn the Maintenance mode off.

Extensions
List of extensions compatible with PunBB 1.4
Please avoid using extensions written for PunBB 1.3. Such older extensions may cause problems with your website's speed, security, and stability. At the moment, we are rather limited in terms of resources, so we have only updated and are now supporting the most important and popular extensions.

Known issues

• The info about the latest registered user is updated once every 30 minutes.

• We have reports about broken upgrades with SimpleScripts - do not use this method for upgrade.

Recommendations

• Switch off or remove the pun_repository extension: it hasn't been updated for PunBB 1.4

• To fight off spam, turn on registration confirmation by e-mail in your forum settings and set up the Fancy Stop Spam extension

• After installation, switch off (set to 0) the redirection timeout

• We haven't tested this forum version on Microsoft Windows servers ourselves, but we had reports about it working nicely on that platform

Thanks
We are grateful to all those who helped us test the new version and sent us bug reports.

This is a critical update. We strongly recommend that you update your forum!

1.3.5 to 1.3.6 changes:

• Fixed XSS vulnerabilities

• Fixed error with bans in admin/bans.php and profile.php

• Fixed invalid closing tag described in issue #32

Compare view: https://github.com/punbb/punbb/compare/1.3.5...1.3.6

Download PunBB 1.3.6: https://github.com/downloads/punbb/punb … -1.3.6.zip

This should make the project a little easier to manage, and in particular, make it easier for developers to contribute patches.

Having the project at Github will allow us to benefit from the fact many open source developers are already familiar with it, and allow us to take advantage of the simpler pull request process. As always, we welcome you to fork our repository, enhance PunBB to meet your needs, then submit a pull request to have it considered for inclusion in the master PunBB project.

Have a nice day! ;-)

Visit Downloads page for the PunBB 1.2.23 packages and patches. Or get the latest revision from SVN.

We would like to ask if it is necessary to include the official styles in the distributive as of the next PunBB version. This inclusion implies some benefits and disadvantages at the same time, which is why we are in doubt and would like to know the community's opinion.
