Today, we are pleased to release XenForo 1.4.7. This release fixes a number of bugs and issues that were found since the release of 1.4.6. As this is a maintenance release, the vast majority of the focus was an increase in stability.

This release follows our principle that third-point (x.x.X) releases should always be more stable than the preceding version, so for the most part you will not find new features in this release. Major new features will be reserved for second point versions (x.X.x).
Installation and Upgrade Instructions
