vBulletin 3.5 Beta 4 Released

vBulletin 3.5 Beta 4

The majority of changes made to Beta 4 are bug fixes. However, there are some additional changes of interest:

• New paid subscription payment APIs (2checkout, Worldpay, Authorize.net)
• Threads with posts awaiting moderation now appear with an indicator icon on forumdisplay
• Always Moderate Group's Posts usergroup permission replaced with Follow Forum Moderation Rules permission to allow YES to be positive in line with other usergroup permissions
• Memory leaks in inline moderation javascript controls eliminated

As this is still a beta release, the same caveats from previous beta releases still apply:

• Beta software is unsupported. You should install beta versions at your own risk.
• Known issues exist within this version. You should not install beta software on production sites.
• You should always back up your database fully before attempting to install beta software.
• If you choose to install this version, you should be aware that we plan to release new beta versions in rapid succession as bugs are fixed and holes are plugged. Do not install this beta version if you are not willing or able to keep up-to-date with new releases.
• ImpEx does not support the 3.5 code yet, and will not support it until the release of 3.5.0 (stable).

Javascript Issues
Beta 4 contains changes to various javascript systems so you may need to warn your users that they should expect to have to empty their caches or do hard-refreshes from time to time to make sure that they have the latest javascript code.

Installation / Upgrade
These use the same process as all previous vBulletin 3 releases. Please refer to an earlier release announcement for full instructions.

Changed Files
As this is still a beta, full changed file lists will not be provided.

Added return false; to the onclick event for the leading breadcrumb image to combat this bug.

Then, move the entirety of that <if> block up in the template so that it sits right below $poll
