XenForo Maintenance Release 1.0.3

XenForo Limited published their third maintenance release 1.0.3 to its customers via an announcement (http://xenfo.ro/17652/)

Version 1.0.3 is not just a bug-fixer, but additionally includes a few new things - we will mention them in a second.

This release helps improve stability and fixes bugs reported by the community. And it brings the next major update version 1.1 a step closer. But more about version 1.1 in our July Newsletter.

"Today, we are pleased to announce the release of XenForo 1.0.3, the third maintenance version of our forum software. This version contains primarily bug fixes and tweaks, but also includes a few nuggets of new functionality where appropriate.",XenForo Limited.​

To upgrade: Backup first. Then download the .zip (upgrade) and put it on the server, replacing the existing files. Then run /install from the browser (the upgrade step obviously).

To install: Create a new empty database, get the .zip (full) and put it on the server in the location where you run xenforo 1.0.3 from - and then run /install from the browser (the install step obviously).

To convert away from any board software to XenForo: contact us Pricing starts at $49. Please note: from June '11 onwards we will forward the xenfans.com services to a third party web site, run by one of our team members.

Ok, so what's new or has changed?

• Tedious mass mail issue addressed.
  Naughty people can't flood your inbox. A minor annoyance, but at least it's fixed.
  
  
• Improved stability.
  Source code tweaks and bug fixes have been addressed. Making it a more stable product.
  
  
• File Health Checker.
  Allowing board admins to review the health of their installation, worth checking out after your 1.0.3 upgrade.
  
  
• Google+ button.
  Adding a +1 share of content, alongside existing Twitter and Facebook.
  
  
  
  
• ImageMagick Handler.
  A new option alongside PHP's GD for those who longed for this. (Thanks Scott!)
  
  
• Report Permissions.
  Control which usergroups are allowed to report content.
  
  
• Log Out Confirmation.
  An overlay in the form of 'are you sure?', preventing accidental logouts.
  
  
• And a bunch of template changes.
  My recommendation is to back up your template, revert it to 1.0.3's version, and re-apply your customization.
  

Have fun with XenForo 1.0.3 - we have already upgraded xenfans.com - and it went flawless. But please do feel free to contact our staff if you need help installing 1.0.3, upgrading to 1.0.3, or if you finally feel it's stable enough to import your old forum to xenforo. We're here to help. Oh, and don't forget to post on our board if you have any problems, questions or just want to give some feedback about xenforo's 1.0 and your experience with it.
