FUDforum 2.6.14RC1 Released

A new version of FUDforum is in the works, 2.6.14. This release is intended to introduce some new functionality as well as address any existing bugs. Some additional work has been done to enable future PDO support. At this time I already have a "beta" PDO driver that works with PostgreSQL, MySQL and partially supports SQLite. I hope to have it in CVS within a release or two.
