UseBB Community

After UseBB 0.3.2 was released, I started working on version 0.4, which should be the last version with an incomplete user interface (not ACP). That indeed means that 0.5 should be fully usable by a normal user, although changes might (and probably will) still occur in future releases.

Many people asked me when the ACP will be ready. In fact, it will only be fully completed in release candidates (RC's) of 1.0. I will however do my best to start the ACP in 0.6 and already implement basic forum configuration into that version.

Well, in the mean time the development of UseBB 0.4 has been relatively active until now. The following is already done:
- Added topic subscription feature + subscriptions overview in Your Panel.
- Added detailed online list.
- Added feature #301: Search engine friendly URL's.
- Added feature #337: Allow all kinds of user names.
- Added feature #338: Allow users to delete their own posts.
- Added block when lower leveled tries to edit posts of higher leveled.
- Added real name and skype profile fields.
- Added changable password min length.
- Fixed bug #331: cyrillic languages+entities.
- Fixed bug #336: Problems on SF.net.
- Fixed a bug where everything is marked unread as a result of session data lost.
- Fixed various BBCode parser bugs.
- Location bar is now more populated over the board.
- Template parser now collects all info and parses at the end (more possibilities).
- Various template improvements and translation corrections.
- Added more security with additional code.
- Better general error message without information disclosure.

If you are interested and have the time, please test 0.4-CVS as much as you can and submit bug reports to the community forum. Thank you.

As a last point: I think (not sure) UseBB 0.4 will be released in about 2-3 weeks.
