A few issues have been bought to our notice in the BETA 4 release that needed correction for people to be able to use correctly. These have been mainly code changes, for performace, and for a few bug fixes.
Templates changed
- showthread - hard coded next/prev thread buttons
Templates added
- error_nonextnewest, error_nonextoldest - errors for if there are no move older/newer threads
- error_searchinvalidterm - if there is an invalid search term (too short)
Templates removed
- showthread_nextnewestthread, showthread_nextoldestthread - no need!
General code changes
- fixed [font] tag in upgrade4.php
- fixed PHP3 warnings
- make search result displaying much more efficient
- fixed install1.php
- fix for smilies with ", ', \ in them
- made showthread more efficient
- fixed upgrade1.php and install1.php
Schema changes
There are two more indexes to add. These are not crucial:
ALTER TABLE search ADD INDEX (querystring), ADD INDEX (userid)
If you have not yet upgraded to beta 4(.1), then these will be added when you do. If you have already upgraded to beta 4 then you should add these in manually by phpmyadmin or telnet. On no account should you try to run upgrade4.php again.
Upgrade instructions
From beta 4
Just upload the new files and run the query above. Also, to update your templates, import the vbulletin.style file from the ZIP, using your control panel. As usual, this will not overwrite any customized templates.
From previous versions

Thank you for your patience as we prepared this release.
Enjoy!
