Just some of the enhancements, bug fixes, and new features included in this release are listed below. Additionally, many of the "mod" settings files for various features are now integrated into Settings.pl. This change will delete several files, but it requires re-saving the settings pages and running the maintenance functions.

Edited:

I think it will be the last release with old 2.1 template included into. Corey Chapman, isn't it?

An update to the package was made late evening on 4/15/09 to fix a few early bugs found.  Please download/install again (or at least update all .pl files) if you upgraded to 2.4 before this time.

Is there a changed log for people who have already made a heap of template changes to all of the code?

Thank you, Corey.

The only change in a template you can see here. For the yabb2/Templates/yabb21/BoardIndex.template

Congratulations to the Team! When we look to the
Bug-Boards (open and fixed), it seems to run very
well.
We wait for some Mods, than we change from Test-
Board to Live-Board.

Greetings
Mick
