beta: phpBB 3.0 Beta 1 released

Posted on | June 19, 2006 | 1 Comment

the phpBB-team released the first public beta of phpBB version 3.0 (‘Olympus’) this saturday. phpBB is probably the worlds most often installed opensource bulletin-board system and therefor also an inviting target for automated mass-hacks. besides tightening security, new features in 3.0 cover many things previously accomplished by external extension as well as loads of new stuff: attaching of files and inline-media to posts, more flexible user-profiles, improved user-management, better performance due caching and support for Oracle-databases (here is a list of the Olympus feature highlights).

my first impression after a quick test-installation of Olympus: many of the new features are useful (I especially like the new administration-panel) and will make everyone hosting a phpBB-board want to upgrade soon. let’s hope that the phpBB-team will offer good migration-tools, otherwise the transition to 3.0 could be painful…
