Guess what? The 3rd and last Beta version of MyBB 1.8 is out! After this version (unless something very bad or unexpected happens), we’re rolling out 1.8.0 Stable/Gold for all of you. We need your help testing Beta 3 though so we can release 1.8.0 as stable as possible.

NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT READY TO BE USED ON A LIVE WEBSITE.

You can see the currently open issues for Gold https://github.com/mybb/mybb/issues?direction=desc&labels=1.8&milestone=2&page=1&sort=updated&state=open">here.

Color legend:


     
  • Dark Blue – Small (new) feature/change
     
  • Light Blue – Enhancement
     
  • Orange – New Feature

We’re not mentioning bug fixes below (the same bug fixes applied to the 1.6 branch are also applied to 1.8 as of now and the bugs for 1.8 only are not mentioned as that would only be important if 1.8 was already stable.), only small feature changes, enhancements and entirely new features.

Some of the enhancements mentioned below are related to the previous Beta versions (1st and 2nd) of 1.8 and they should appear as one only in the final list of enhancements for MyBB 1.8.

[HEADING=3]Download[/HEADING]

 

ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS NOT READY TO BE USED ON A LIVE WEBSITE! DO NOT UPGRADE YOUR LIVE WEBSITE TO THIS VERSION.

The download can be found http://resources.mybb.com/downloads/18/beta/MyBB%201.8%20Beta%203.zip">here.

[HEADING=3]Upgrade[/HEADING]

 

You are NOT supposed to upgrade any 1.6 boards to 1.8 Beta 3 hence why we do not provide upgrading instructions. This is because you will not be able to upgrade from any of the Betas to 1.8. While we’ve done some work on the upgrader to guarantee that users no longer experience errors, this hasn’t been tested thoroughly. This is our number one priority in the next development phase.
