Enkele dagen geleden is versie 2.0.16 van Simple Machines Forum uitgekomen en wegens een probleem is snel daarna een opvolger verschenen. Simple Machines Forum is opensource-forumsoftware. Het pakket heeft minimaal versie 5.4.0 van php nodig en als database is minimaal MySQL 4.0.18 nodig (al wordt 4.1.0 aanbevolen) of PostgreSQL 8.0. Hieronder is een overzicht van de belangrijkste verbeteringen die in deze uitgave zijn aangebracht:
Notable changes in 2.0.16 & 2.0.17Please see the changelog for more information.
