FUDforum 2.6.14RC2 Released

The 2nd release candidate of 2.6.14 was just published; this release performs the final bit of cleanup, code rearrangement and unification to make usage of PDO as a database interface possible. As of this release it is now possible to install FUDforum with the following PDO drivers: MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite in addition to the native MySQL and PostgreSQL interfaces.

Other important changes include fixes that accommodate the PHP 5.1 backwards compatibility (BC) breaks introduced after 5.1.0b1. Also, FUDforum no longer requires temporary tables, making their use optional, which should be welcome news to all the people who don't have the necessary privileges to perform this operation.

The installer and upgrade script are now available online and can be downloaded from:
