--------------- VBULLETIN 2.3.1 RELEASED -----------------

vBulletin 2.3.1 has been released to fix various minor
bugs and to patch a potential security hole. We recommend
that you upgrade as soon as possible, to make it easier to
upgrade to vBulletin 3.0 when it is released.

For complete information about this new release, including
upgrade instructions, please visit the vBulletin
announcements forum:

---------------- VBULLETIN 3 BETA 5 ---------------------

vBulletin 3 has been available to all customers since
version 3.0.0 Beta 3, and has now progressed to Beta 5,
which was relesed on Monday of this week. This version
is not labelled as 'stable' as it is still essentially
a beta, but any customers who wish to try out the new
vBulletin version are invited to do so.

For Beta 5, a lot of work has been put into re-phrasing
the control panel text, following reports of problems
relating to gender and plurality in non-english
languages. As a result many phrases that existed in
Beta 4 no longer exist, and many new phrases have been
created.

We now encourage those people who are running
vBulletin 3 and who intend to translate their boards
into non-english languages to attempt to translate
the control panel text, as available in the admin
control panel language manager, and to report back if
they experience any problems that we should look into.

Please see this post for more details:

vBulletin 3 is proceeding well, and the next release
will be either Beta 6, or the first Release Candidate,
depending on how much testing we believe is necessary
for the new and improved WYSIWYG editor, which will
make its firsts appearance in the coming days.

--------------------- BUG TRACKER ------------------------

We have recently introduced a new bug tracking system at
vbulletin.com, in order to streamline the management of
bugs for vBulletin 3 and future products.
