vBulletin 3.7.0
Today, the vBulletin team released version 3.7.0. Our site will be down while I update us to the more secure version.
There are many new features and improvements to existing functionality in vBulletin 3.7.0 over vBulletin 3.6.x, most of which have already been described in the release announcements for the various pre-release versions, and in the First Look thread that was posted at the beginning of the beta process, but here is a brief list of just a few of the highlights.
What is a 'Gold' Version?
When talking about software, the term 'gold' is not related to the color of the application. Rather, it refers to the practise of burning the final version of a software product to a CD-R so that it can be sent to a large scale CD press for large-scale distribution. It is used to indicate that the code is ready for deployment to customers. The official name of this new version is vBulletin 3.7.0.
I will be updating today and hopefully everything goes good. Also what do you guys think of the new colors of our fourm?
