Topic: PunBB 1.3 final release

Congratulations! PunBB 1.3 is finished.

Most significant (for users and moderators) 1.2.20 to 1.3 changes:

    * Extension system based on hooking technique. One click extension installation, no need to modify forum's code anymore.
    * Full UTF-8 support.
    * More customazable styles, templating system.
    * New layout: markup, CSS, language files updated, markup helper functions added.
    * URL rewriting schemes, nice URL's built-in.
    * Split/merge topics functionality.
    * Multiple groups for moderators allowed.
    * Searches are now case-insensitive, extern.php improved, more global, per-group and per-user options added.
    * Certain "bad" characters are silently stripped out from the text input.
    * Got rid of extras folder, README added.
    * Hotifx system based on extension system for quick bugfixes.

Note: language packs and modifications for PunBB 1.2 are useless in 1.3. You are welcome to make a 1.3 translation to your language. Visit language packs page in wiki to take a part.

Downloads: visit Downloads page for the 1.3 packages. Or get PunBB from Subversion repository.

Migration: updating script (from 1.2.*) is included into the package. See wiki article for instructions.

Documentation: use PunBB wiki. There is some lack of information at the moment, but we hope to improve it with your help.

Extensions: you are welcome to download extensions from official PunBB extensions repository.

PS: Please, correct me if I forgot to add something important here.

Re: PunBB 1.3 final release

PunBB Forums will be updated to 1.3 soon. Official extensions will be installed here, though separate clean 1.3 demo will be present. We'll also pay more attention to the documentation and official themes.

Re: PunBB 1.3 final release

I take you went straight to 1.3 because you devs wouldn't want to wait for FluxBB 1.3 anymore, I wonder if you plan to update your code to match FluxBB's in the future, say a v1.3.1, I'm interested in extensions compatibility.

Re: PunBB 1.3 final release

I update my RC to final and I'm getting this error message:

An error was encountered
Your PunBB database is out-of-date and must be upgraded in order to continue. Please run db_update.php in order to complete the upgrade process.

When i run db_update.php I get an error "Internal Server Error" :S timeout maybe?

I think the dev team is aware of this db_update issue.

It doesn't matter, I've made the changes directly into the db.

Re: PunBB 1.3 final release

Much of it was implemented in PunBB 1.3 beta (it was before FluxBB), wasn't it?

Re: PunBB 1.3 final release

grudon66 was just looking for trouble. But we have clearly stated that the code is paritaly used from fluxbb, and we dont have to keep thanking them when we release a version, Its under the GPL.

Sorry. Unactive due to personal life.

Use

define('FORUM_TURN_OFF_MAINT', 'true');

instead.
This may be added to config.php.

Try with a echo in the ft_about_end hook.
