Has anybody experimented with or used the latest phpBB version: 3.2.0 Rhea?

I think its pretty similar to 3.1.10 except the updating of some images.
 
Is there any security patches updates?
 
That update hardly has any cosmetic updates. I havent tried it though. I couldnt find anything in the changelog.

phpBB is free and open-source, IPS is neither free or open-source... You cannot compare them.
 
I've used a demo board with Rhea installed. Like you stated not too many changes, but I like the addition of the clever quotes and support of php7.
 
I had my hopes up for this update, then they released it and I just couldn't bring myself to like it. I thought they'd surpass Xenforo or IPB in some instances, but they're not. MyBB 2.0 is coming out soon that's already surpassed phpBB and it hasn't even be released yet, and Xenforo and IPB have supported php 7 for a while now, let alone has already had the features they finally got around to improving a little bit.
 
Like @Thomasss MyBB 2.0 is coming out, I agree that it will definately surpass phpBB. SMF 2.0 is coming out soon too, I bet that will be better than it.

Couldn't of put it better 😛 Honestly there wasn't many changes and though PHP 7 support is nice, loads of software have it already.

Can't wait for MyBB 2! Hopefully it'll be better 😀
