I'm glad to announce yet another development release. First off, I'd like to state that this is called a 'Private' Alpha because I am not releasing any packges for this release but all of the source is freely availible in the SVN code repository.

Almost all of the updates planned for this release have been achieved. They include:
- Completed/fully working user system
- Improved security
- Topic posting implemented... read more

I am glad to finally announce the latest development release. First off, I'd like to state that this is called a 'Private' Alpha because I am not releasing any packges for this release but all of the source is freely availible in the SVN code repository.

Most of the changes in this release were as I mentioned in the 0.0.7 release. They include:
- Improved query management and compatibility
- Made the showforum and showtopic pages fully functional
- Optimized queries in pages which are database utilization heavy
- Optimized loops in the index and other pages
- Started rewriting and reworking almost all of the user management system, and that is currently in the works... read more

The latest development release and coding enhancements. It's considered 'private' because I am not releasing any downloadable packages, you must get the latest source from the SVN repository. So, as far as improvements in this version, most classes, mainly the DBAL (database abstraction layer) have been fully debugged and are completely functional, and some additional functionailty has been added to them. In the global file (gobal.php), a few security enhacnements have been made that prevent anyone from using an invalid data types with user session/coookie data. So basically, this means if someone tries to enter a string into their user_id cookie, as to try and perform an SQL injection attack, the script will halt and output a system critical error, preventing any further action. Besides that, I have gotten the index page fully functional as of today and it should work properly if you enter the right SQL data into the database (of course after restoring the SQL file provided in the repository). I have also added a screenshot of the MadBB index page in 0.0.7 to the project's screenshots page.... read more

So, I finally figured out how to use SVN and uploaded all the current source code that I have created so far. Every new version release I will post the code into the repository from now on. Well enjoy.
