vBulletin 3.6.8

vBulletin 3.6.8 is a maintenance release to improve the stability of vBulletin as well as providing required compatibility for the vBulletin Blog addon. The Blog therefore will require 3.6.8 as a minimum to function.

Changed files and mandatory template changes are listed below.

We have also fixed various bugs since vBulletin 3.6.7 was released, these fixes include:

• 22080: Internet Explorer locks up on forumhome
• 22260: Quick Reply causes errors with PHP 5.0.5
• 22242: Show edited by appearing incorrectly
• 22289: Email activation can lead to the wrong usergroup being selected
• 22667: Suspected file versions identifies addons incorrectly
• 22293: Support for Safari 3.0 on Windows
• See other bugs fixed in 3.6...

Upgrading from Previous Versions

3.6.8 is a maintenance release and we recommend that all customers upgrade to benefit from many bug fixes and stability improvements.

No patch or plugin is available to bring previous versions up to 3.6.8 without a full upgrade, as the various changes to implement all the bug fixes represent a large number of changes. To get the fixes from 3.6.8 onto your own board, you must perform a full upgrade.

Full instructions for upgrading vBulletin are available here.

PHP and MySQL Requirements

Please note that vBulletin 3.6.x requires at least PHP 4.3.3 and MySQL 4.0.16 or later.

End of Life for PHP 4 announced

The PHP group recently announced that support for PHP 4 will end on December 31st, this means there will be no security updates or bug fixes for PHP 4 after this point. We seriously recommend that you consider upgrading to the latest version of PHP (5.2.3) and MySQL (5.0.45). vBulletin 3.6.8 supports both of these without any problems, though you may need to disable strict mode for MySQL, see here on how to enable 'force_sql_mode'.

Note: We will continue to support PHP 4 in our currently released versions.

Download vBulletin 3.6.8

As usual, vBulletin 3.6.8 is available for all customers with valid, active licenses to download from the vBulletin Members' Area.

Hi Kall,

Hi derek,

Sorry... looks like I missed it out. I will try to have it done by tomorrow.

[Kall]

Awesome. 7 hours, not bad.

[derekclarke]

Thanks for sorting it out...

[derekclarke]

Any Idea when these will be updated to 3.7.0?

Thanks
Derek

Yep, all of the vBE styles get updated within 14 days of a non-beta release of the vB software.

When they choose to do that is anyone's guess.

*edit* lol, days, not hours.
