[mxbb-news] mxBB-Portal version 2.7.5 (critical update) released!

[<mxb...@li...>]

Hi everyone,

The mxBB Development Team would like to announce the immediate release of
mxBB-Portal version 2.7.5.

This is basically a maintenance release that in addition to a couple of
critical bug fixes address several security issues. All Users of mxBB-Portal
are strongly encouraged to upgrade to this release as soon as possible.

Summary of Changes:

* The trigger to this release: Security fixes related to latest phpBB
releases affecting our code.

* Fixed redirection issues after login/logout affecting servers under
Windows platforms.

* Improved template engine. This is much wiser, able to find .tpl files
almost everywhere.

* Installation script fully rewritten, much simpler, intuitive,
error/mistake proof, user friendly.

* Removed unnecessary phpBB scripts we had duplicated in our includes
folder.

* Fixed problems related to SQL reserved words. We're now compatible with
MySQL 4.1.x!

* Attempt to restore compatibility with PostgreSQL. We don't have a test
platform, though.

Meanwhile, work continues on development of mxBB-Portal 2.8... we're
moving... ;-)
