We are pleased to announce the availability of the phpBB3 Beta4 package. With this fourth beta release we are again a great step forward.

With this beta an update path is provided, though being not fully supported. We decided to give away the proposed update package to let it properly test and fix any remaining issues encountered before using this as the primary method of updating. This means that you should test the update and report any bugs or issues you notice, but not depend on a successful update – you should still not use this beta in a live environment and you should always be able to completely remove your installation to perform a fresh install.

If you decide to do a new installation without testing the updater, please be sure to remove any remaining files, especially those within the cache directory as well as not reusing your database. [break]
