SMF 2.1 Beta 2 Released:

Simple Machines is proud to announce the release of the 2nd beta of SMF 2.1. This version contains many improvements over Beta 1 and also fixes many bugs that were discovered following its release. Among the notable improvements:

• There is now an interface in the admin center for configuring default notification/alert preferences.
• For new installs, MySQL's InnoDB storage engine is used by default if available. This will provide better performance.
• Support for fulltext search with InnoDB tables on MySQL 5.6.4 or higher.
• Optional two-factor authentication support for added security.

For full details of what has changed, please see our GitHub archive.

Please remember that the minimum requirements of SMF have been increased to PHP 5.3.8+ and MySQL 5.0.3+ or PostgresSQL 8.0+.
