FUDforum 2.8.1 RC1 was released and is now available for download. Thank you very much to everyone who made this release possible: Ilia for tagging and releasing the code, Peter Vendike for the Danish translation and JanRei and Marticus for the numerous usability and validation patches.

* More avatar images
* Ability to Minimize/Maximize posts in the Message Selector
* Move JavaScript to lib.js for faster page loading
* Add welcome message (new installations only)
* Introduce Forum Dashboard and remove install.php checks from mainstream code
* Add a SQL Manager to the Admin Control Panel
* Log message approval
* Various other Admin Control Panel enhancements

Fixes:

* Various usability and validation fixes (Marticus & JanRei)
* Convert FAQ help files to UTF-8
* Fix date display on Windows systems
* Fix reverse html to [img] tag rendering
* Better server name for SMTP EHLO
* Prevent users from posting invisible links

Translation updates:

* Add new Danish translation (Peter Vendike)

Sorry, I've been AFK for moving and stuff. Thanks for the recognition, although I'd argue that I didn't do much. I suppose it is time to begin testing again. ^_^

I don't want to rush anyone, but is 2.8.1 expected to be released soon? If it is, I'll wait around for a few weeks for it. Otherwise I'll just install 2.8.0 this weekend.

Thanks.

Go for 2.8.0; you'll be able to upgrade to 2.8.1 very easily when it arrives (the upgrade only takes a couple of minutes).
