Oh yes, I got the Email too! It great, isn't it! I used to have SMF (still do but I stopped running it) and it was the good.

Now, just have to wait for them to upgrade all of the mods.

That's really good news!
I use SMF RC3 for my forums and I'm happy to upgrade it to the new one.

SMF is looking so much better, now that there is a stable release...I've been using SMF for only a few months, and I must say it beats many other forum-systems.

Although, we have to wait for the updating of MODs, and then the task of reapplying them again.

Most mods can be updated manually, as there were not a whole lot of changes from rc3 to 1.1 final. The version numbers (ie, 1.1rc2, 1.1rc3) are in the package-info.xml file that is packaged with the mod. By unzipping the mod and opening the package-info.xml file you can add the new version to the string and then repack the zip file and upload it via package manager. For example in the package-info.xml file of the paypal donations mod you will find this line of code:

<!-- Installation, the key part of this file. -->
	<install for="1.1 RC1, 1.1 RC2, 1.1 RC3">

If you add this to that line:

<!-- Installation, the key part of this file. -->
	<install for="1.1 RC1, 1.1 RC2, 1.1 RC3, 1.1">

then the mod should install through the package manager. Please note that this should work with most of the modification packages out there if you are in a hurry to get a mod up and running on the final version. Also note that it is a better idea to wait for the mod to be updated by the mod author.

Yeah, I realised that you could do that for the MODs....sort of a 'shortcut' so that they could be installed with the package manager! I heard it can be done for TinyPortal without any problems.

Yeah, Geoff, I did realise that was for the TP version 0.9.6...It's just a small 'hurdle' for people who don't want to wait for the release of TP 0.9.7

TP 0.9.7 has been released for those who did not know. Here is a little excerpt from the downloads page:

TinyPortal has reached version 0.9.7. This release will not differ much from v0.9.5/0.9.6, mostly bugfixing and tweaking was applied. But there are a few new features:

- article categories now show parent category(if any) in the linktree.
- article without a category had no category value throwing an error in some cases.
- double quotes in article titles were being removed. fixed.
- pagination routine improved for glitches on pages below 4-5
- frontpage forum-posts now consider permissions on boards.
- featured article was not fetched when it was the oldest article. Fixed.
