[UseBB-Announce] UseBB 1.0 released

[UseBB T. <co...@us...>]

The UseBB Team is happy to announce the final version 1.0 of the light
and Open Source PHP/MySQL bulletin board package "UseBB".

This final version fixes a number of bugs found since 1.0 RC3, adds some
small feature enhancements and improvements to the default template.

Upgrading is, as always, recommended. Visit
http://www.usebb.net/downloads/ for downloads. Information about
upgrading is available in the docs/index.html document.

The UseBB Project has its roots in 2002 with the development of a
personal message board system "SBBS". A year later, the UseBB project
was founded on 22 October 2003. With the current release, we have
finally reached the stable 1.0 version we have been working on as long
as since February 2004. After over two years of development, we have
completed our goal to build a light, easy-to-use and safe Open Source
PHP/MySQL forum application for small communities.

However, our work does not end here. Since March 2005, we have been
planning our next version, 2.0, to incorporate advanced functionality
and an easier object oriented framework while retaining and even
increasing the simplicity of our product. UseBB 2.0, powered by PHP 5,
will be available at earliest in 2007, together with the launch of our
complete new website and community forum. For more information, check
out the development section at http://usebb.sourceforge.net/.

What concerns UseBB 1.0, we will keep releasing bug fix releases (1.0.x)
as long as there is a fair number of PHP 4 users to serve.

At this point, the only thing that rests for me to say is a big thank
you to all the people who helped us with reporting bugs, giving bug
fixes, bringing up new features and fresh ideas and of course all the
people who are using our product. Last but not least, thanks to
SourceForge.net for hosting file releases and CVS.
