Announcement from the phpBB Development Team:

We are very pleased to announce the availability of the phpBB 3.0.2 package. This version has seen numerous stability fixes, performance tweaks and general bugs fixed. Additionally one minor security-related bug was fixed.

With this release, we also re-introduced the code changes tutorial. Due to the different codebase in phpBB3, these are a lot bigger and a lot more complicated than they ever were in phpBB2
- also the reason why we introduced the automatic update package and automatic updater in phpBB, which is able to handle modded boards too by merging differences. We do not recommend the use of the code changes tutorial
- those are meant for professional users and support teams to help assist users having problems while updating.

Please note that we urge you to update. The versions we currently support here are phpBB 2.0.23 and phpBB 3.0.2.

Important changes since 3.0.1: Read More...
