XenForo 1.0.0 Release Candidate 1 moves us one step closer to a stable release. This release includes a number of bug fixes, as well as a few small feature changes. The focus is now solely on working towards a stable release. We'd like to thank all our customers and everyone else who has helped us to reach this milestone.
All licensed customers may now download the new version from the customer area.
Installation and upgrade steps are listed below, though they remain unchanged from previous versions.
This is Unsupported Software
While we have moved on from the beta distinction, please remember that this release is not officially supported. Support is limited at this time to questions here on the community forums.
If you choose to run unsupported software, it is your responsibility to ensure that you make a backup of your data.
What is a Release Candidate?
After a number of beta releases, the functionality of the product should be complete and the rate of bugs being reported (should) slow to a trickle, allowing the development team to work through the backlog and reduce the number of bugs to a handful. We have now reached this point in the development of XenForo 1.0.0, so the time is right to produce a release candidate.
This means that the software is proposed as stable, and a period of time is allowed to verify the proposal. If no major bugs are found during that period, the software will be released as 1.0.0. If major bugs are found that are considered sufficiently important to delay the release, we will see a second release candidate. This process continues until no major bugs are discovered during the probation period for the latest release candidate.
Notable Changes
A number of notable changes are listed below the installation and upgrade instructions, including Feeder Previews, Style Previews, Tweet Buttons, Discouraged IPs and more.
