vBulletin 3.8.0 Beta 1
We're pleased to announce the first public beta of vBulletin 3.8.0, after running the earlier alpha releases here on vBulletin.com, we're satisifed that any serious issues have been resolved. Any customer with an active vBulletin license can download the beta.
There is an extensive blog post by Darren that showcases some of the new features and improvements that have been made to vBulletin 3.8.0.
Significance of a Beta Release
This is beta software. If you are not fully at home with backing-up and restoring your forum, dealing with bugs and regular upgrades, do not install this beta version.
Customers should bear in mind that this is a public beta, not a certified 'stable' release so the following caveats apply:

Customers should bear in mind that this is a public beta, not a certified 'stable' release so the following caveats apply:
- Beta software is unsupported and you install beta versions at your own risk.
- Some minor bugs remain unresolved at this time, so beta software should not be 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.
