The fourth beta of SMF includes numerous fixes for bugs reported since Beta 3, and includes a set of updated templates for the default theme which have been designed to be more semantic in order to improve accessibility.
Major changes since the last release:
Fixed a considerable number of bugs reported since Beta 3, including several bugs affecting internationalization.
Updated key templates for the default theme to make more semantic (These are the index, board index, message index and display templates).
Added new installer.
Strengthened protection against flooding the login and reminder systems in an attempt to brute force passwords.
Added back end code to allow theme variations (such as different colors), which is not used by default but may assist theme authors.
Added resizer to the WYSIWYG editor window.
• Semantic Templates
Please note that there is a risk that the new semantic templates may impact how other 3rd party or edited themes are displayed to the user after an upgrade. Whilst Simple Machines have carried out testing to identify and eliminate such problems, there’s always a possibility that some problems will not be detected. As such, we recommend that people do not upgrade production forums until they have tested the impact of the upgrade. If you do detect problems following the upgrade please post a topic into the support board detailing the nature of the problem, and we’ll do our best to assist as quickly as possible. Note that any problems that do occur are likely to be relatively minor, and easily remedied. If a problem does occur, and you fix it yourself, please post what the cause and fix were – so we can ensure the upgrader fixes these things for future upgrades.
The packages include everything you need to install a fresh board, or to upgrade from 2.0 Beta 3.1 – or any previous version of SMF. You can checkout the changelog on the download page for a full list of changes. We're also very keen to hear your feedback, positive and negative, to help us continue to improve the software.
