FlexBB 0.6.6 STABLE Released.
FlexBB 0.6.6's feature to brag about is a brand new Admin CP. And it doesn't look too bad, if you ask me Wink
Changes
The new Administrative Control Panel has arrived! The new look is fresh and a little Web 2.0 looking. The main website now sports the same style. As well as a new look, a few new features have been added here and there to the Admin CP that I just didn't get around to in earlier builds. From actual administrative notes, to mass category order changing, to statistics on the main page, I've aimed to make the new Control Panel much more user friendly. Also the Admin CP should now seem more unified, with every page having the same width or textboxes, etc. Before they were all over the place!
Also the announcements system has finally been upgraded to "full featured" status. You can now add more than one announcement, and there is also as such thing as Archived Announcements. Also, 3 new settings have been added to the Admin CP as well as a whole new Settings Category just for Announcements.
The upgrade script is much nicer now. Let's say you have 0.6.4. And you want to upgrade to 0.6.6. You no longer need to download the zip for 0.6.5. Now, FlexBB will upgrade from 0.6.4 to the latest version, no matter what build you download in the future!
And along the same theme as the new upgrade system, there is now a script included in the install folder called Write2Config. This allows you to write to config.php if you have overwritten the config.php file. But, if you have FlexBB installed, there is a security risk for guests to go in there and change your config.php file to whatever they'd like. That's why it's so important to delete the install folder after you have finished upgrading or installing.
