Finally, Simple Machines Forum Team has finally released the much awaited stable and final version of SMF called SMF 2.0.
QuoteThis release marks the transition of SMF 2.0 into the current stable release of SMF, as well as the rebirth of the SMF project as open source software, as it was meant from the start. As of now, SMF is licensed under the BSD License.
For users of SMF 2.0 RC5, this release consists primarily of several bug fixes - most notably it fixes the login protection and possibility of real name spoofing. These issues have serious security implications, and we urge users to upgrade to it as soon as possible. For users of SMF 1.1, the changes between 1.1 and 2.0 are too numerous to list here - but we're sure you will be pleased with the new features SMF 2.0 has to offer.
The following are the more important changes and fixes since SMF 2.0 RC5:
• Fixes to login protection system
• Real name spoofing prevention
• MySQL 5.5 compatibility fixes
• Several PostgreSQL related fixes
• Fixes to integration hooks
• Several user interface fixes
• Fixes related to member profile updates
• Fixes to upgrade scripts
