SMF 1.1 RC 2 Is Out!

I just made a comment in a previous post about phpBB vs. SMF where a user mentioned the pains that we all go through when upgrading phpBB. I commneted that I cannot actually compare upgrade procedures between the two packages because from the first install of SMF a new version hasn’t come out.

And here comes the irony: SMF 1.1 RC 2 is out today.

After scanning through the upgrade procedures, it doesn’t look like anywhere near the horrors of upgrading phpBB. They say that there may be some issues with previous themes, which they gave a fix for. I haven’t tried the upgrade yet, but from all reports it only invloves uploading some files, changing some permissions and then running a step by step script. The only file editing I see is to fix old themes.

Here goes another notch in the belt for SMF. Right now, phpBB is quickly fading for me.
