[mxbb-news] mxBB Portal 2.8.0 Release

[mxBB P. - N. a. R. A. <mxb...@li...>]

Hi everyone,

Following on from our recent update The mxBB Project Team is proud to
announce the much-awaited release of
mxBB Portal version 2.8.0, the "Gold" edition!

This is the culmination of many months of development and bugtracking, and
is the successor to out Release Candidate Version which was made available
at the end of January.
At the moment both the updated 'Core' code and a selection of modules are
available, it is intended that over the next few days / weeks there will be
many more updated modules made available.

mxBB 2.8.x is a completely new development line that adds many new features
and fixes. This is a major update; it's essentially a rewrite of the legacy
2.7.x code, replacing old code with a new OO (object-oriented) design.

This is the first 'full' public release of the new 2.8.x line after various
rounds of Beta testing and a previous RC edition.
It also includes several new features including the ability to have
different pages with different themes, and the ability to choose a theme for
your Admin Panel.

The number of differences between this and the Beta version are minimal, so
please check the
release notes for RC1 for further information :-

As always, if anyone wishes to help contribute to the project then please do
not hesitate to get in touch with myself, mhewitson, or Jon.

We hope you enjoy this new release!
