    3.8.10

    I see 3.8.10 beta in the member area, but I can't find any release notes for it.
    Are there release notes available?
    Will there be a GA release of this at some point?
    Will 3.8.10 work with PHP 5.3.3?

    My understanding is this release addresses the IPN changes being made by PayPal.

    Thanks in advance.

    This link should show you what's in 3.1.10 Beta 1:
    3.8.10 Beta 1

    The PayPal IPN changes are covered by this:


    There will be a full release at some point but it's fine to use the current vB3 and vB4 betas (but not vB5 betas) on production systems.

    The official minimum version of php for all branches of vBulletin is now 5.4. With vB3, you might find php 5.3 works but if it doesn't there's nothing we can do.

      What is the link to get the Beta?

      BTW - I've been registered here for many years so I'm really not a "new" member. Just haven't been here in a while. vB user since around 2002. Not sure why the box on the left is showing me as having registered in 2014. Running vB 3.8.9 since last year.

        It is available in the members area, same place as all other versions. It will be in the version dropdown.

          Is it possible to get a patch release of this? I'm terrified of having to upload everything and wipe out all the hacks that have accumulated over the years.

            No, we don't provide patch releases in place of full upgrades and never have. If it could be done with a patch, we would release one. There are far too many changes.

              OK, so a few weeks ago, I installed 3.8.10 Beta 1, and now I see there's a Beta 2 due to a security issue where you created patches for older versions. Can we get a patch for 3.8.10 Beta 2 from Beta 1? I really don't want to have to do a complete install yet again.

              Thanks in advance!

                if im not mistaken you only need to overwrite the files not run the script so pretty painless

                  To upgrade from Beta 1 to Beta 2 you DO need to run the upgrade script. There is no patch for the beta versions.

                    How do I report a bug in the Beta2 upgrade.php?

                    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=', expecting ')' in /xxx/xxx/xxx/vb3.8.10.b2/upload/includes/functions_misc.php on line 689

                        Are you effin' kidding me? I just finished a major upgrade to get PHP 5.4 working so I could install Beta 1. Beta 1 works fine under 5.4. Why can't the 1 or 2 lines that are causing this bug under 5.4 simply be rewritten so I'm not forced to do another majorly disruptive upgrade?

                        Meanwhile, I'd still like to know how to report this bug.

                            Note that to successfully run the upgrade script itself on an older PHP version you must also edit install/upgradecore.php line 425:
                            Code:
                            if (version_compare(PHP_VERSION, '5.5.0', '<'))
                            Otherwise you will just get this message:
                            This version of vBulletin requires PHP version 5.5.0 or greater. Your PHP is version 5.3.29, please ask your host to upgrade.

                              Please do NOT do this. 3.8.10 requires php 5.5 or above. Removing the check in the upgrade script will allow it to run but the software will not work.
