Topic: PunBB 1.3RC2 is out

Most significant 1.3 RC to 1.3 RC2 changes:

  • New layout: markup, CSS, language files updated, markup helper functions added.

  • Added split/merge topics functionality.

  • Added a "database revision number" to the code. This feature provides a way to track whether the database needs to be updated or not.

  • Added constants to various included files to be used to indicate whether a certain file has been loaded or not, removing the need to use include_once/require_once.

  • Added global DST option and the default email setting for new users.

  • Search (searches are now case-insensitive), extern.php, URL rewriting improved.

  • More helpers added to the DB layer and used everywhere in the forum.

  • Got rid of extras folder: install and db_update moved to admin; README, COPYING and .htaccess.dist added to the forum root.

  • Added phpDoc comments to the start of every PHP file, replacing the existing GPL notice.

  • Lot of hooks added.

Download packages:

You may also check it out from Subversion repository.

UPDATE: PunBB 1.3 RC2 demo is available at http://punbb.informer.com/demo/punbb13rc2/ (DB is automatically restored every 2 hours from the SQL dump).

Please, report bugs in 1.3 core talk forum.

PS: Official extensions may not work correctly now and need to be updated for the new 1.3 RC2 markup.
This will be done in a week or two.

Re: PunBB 1.3RC2 is out

You did say that when the rc2 was done, you will crate the new punbb styles.
Where are they?

I said we will start working on the styles after RC2 release (because of markup changes).
And we have started this work already.

BTW: 2, 3 and 4 of November are Federal Holidays in Russia - the Unity Day is being celebrated.
So we (devs) will come back on November 5-th and fix all the bugs found :-)
I'll try to publish one style tomorrow, but this is not promise.

hotfix_13rc2_request_password released for the incorrect action URL in the "restore password" form. Use admin console to install it.

1. Copy old files.
2. Overwrite. Though you'd better remove all the old dirs and put new ones, because their contents differ:
2.1. Remove all the old files and dirs.
2.2. Get back /img/avatars/ and /extensions/ from the previously copied directory.
NOTE: Keep the config.php.
3. Open index.php in your browser. Follow instructions.

Partially. We have developed PunBB 1.3 keeping an eye on FluxBB development. Some changes have been imported, we have made the others. See Trac timeline for details.

Good job big_smile

Btw, when the database update is done, there's no link that points back to the forum index.

Procedure is the same. Just don't forget to backup your PunBB files and database. But all your mods installed will not work on 1.3.

It is not recommended to use 1.3 RC2 in the production mode. It still contains several bugs (including reported above) that are to be fixed in 1.3 final release.

Some extensions' code is being executed in this hook.
Try to define FORUM_DISABLE_HOOKS constant in your config.php (this will disable hooks) and disable all the extensions in admin console then.
