MyBB Community Forums

A preview version of MyBB 1.8.35 expected to address several stability and PHP compatibility issues is now ready for public testing.

During this phase we welcome board administrators, developers and our Community to verify installation, upgrading, compatibility, and general stability using test and/or staging environments before an official upgrade is released and applied to live boards.

* Non-production use only: Pre-release versions, including upgrades to/from/between them, are generally not supported. Test packages may contain errors that may be difficult to recover from on active boards.

* Pre-release: The software can be installed or upgraded by placing/overwriting files from the package. The final release may include further modifications including those addressing security issues, and separate update packages for use with the previous version.

* Dynamic build: The provided code is attached to a repository tag that may be updated when additional public updates are pushed.

Interesting, thanks for all the hard work team.
Maybe it's time to get back to MyBB again
