MyBB 1.6 is out!

[Deleted member 5665]

Today was the grand release of mybb 1.6!

Blog: http://blog.mybb.com/2010/08/03/mybb-1-6-released/

Today marks the 2 year anniversary since MyBB 1.4 was released. It is an honor to announce that today, we are releasing MyBB 1.6 Gold to the general public and that it is now available directly on the MyBB website.

MyBB 1.6 may be one small step for forum software, but it is one giant leap for MyBB. There are over 40 new features that have been built in to MyBB and countless tweaks, fixes, and performance optimizations since MyBB 1.4.

We’ve also updated the MyBB website to contain a feature tour of what is available in MyBB 1.6: http://www.mybb.com/features.

We recommend that all users upgrade to 1.6 so they can take advantage of the great new features in MyBB 1.6, but we recommend you plan your upgrade first. More information on upgrading and changes to templates, themes, plugins and languages can be found below.

Personally I’d also like to thank this community, for your everlasting support and for all of you who have been with us every step of the way. You’ve made this happen; MyBB is your forum software. Above all, I would like to thank every single team member who has made this journey with us. My debt to you is beyond measure. Thank you so much for the time, sweat, and effort you’ve given to this project and community. We are all grateful to you.

Flash! Oh-oh! Saviour of the universe!

Anyways, congrats MyBB. I'll wait until 1.6.1, but still. Ryan puts a lot of work into his product, and his progressive style of forum development shows.

I'm either going stupid or dumb but wasn't there supposed to be a plugin downloaded INSIDE the admin panel? all i see is the newest plugins with their links. :O

Look like all the plugins and styles need to updated for them to work with 1.6.

Wont be installing till plugins are updated. Just a personal preference even though I downloaded it right when the time hit 1 😛

You would be a fool to upgrade now, but its epic news! Well done! I will sure upgrade when the mods and style's are updates to the newest version.

Why? That's how bugs are found.

When I tested Mybb 1.6, it was pretty much stable. I didn't notice anything that would disrupt members or the forum.

Yeah that is good, but I will wait until the mods are there, not sure but I stick with that option. I guess I will have to download it again and re-install it.

That is actually interesting. They didn't have to do that, because the majority of plugins and styles only needed a change in the code saying that they're compatible with 1.6.
