Met Simple Machines Forum is het mogelijk een forum op te zetten waarop bezoekers met elkaar kunnen discussiëren. Het pakket wordt onder een eigen SMF-licentie beschikbaar gesteld en maakt gebruik van PHP en een database om berichten te bewaren, waarbij naast het populaire MySQL ook PostgreSQL en SQLite als databases worden ondersteund. De ontwikkelaars hebben de derde release candidate uitgebracht van SMF 2.0. De bijbehorende aankondiging ziet er als volgt uit:
SMF 2.0 Release Candidate 3 is out!
We are pleased to announce the immediate release of SMF 2.0 RC3 to the public. This version marks the third release candidate for 2.0, including about 350 new entries in the change log, consisting mostly of bug fixes, interface tweaks and fine-tuning of the new Curve theme.
We strongly recommend all users of earlier development releases to upgrade to this release, for it contains several security fixes.
While we are confident that there are no major problems with this release, we want to remind you that it is still not to be considered stable software. We do not recommend its use in live environments and if you are not comfortable with using this release candidate, we advise you to wait until the release of the final version before using the 2.0 line.
