We're pleased to announce the first public beta of vBulletin 3.8.0, after running the earlier alpha releases here on vBulletin.com, we're satisifed that any serious issues have been resolved. Any customer with an active vBulletin license can download the beta.

There is an extensive blog post by Darren that showcases some of the new features and improvements that have been made to vBulletin 3.8.0.

Significance of a Beta Release
This is beta software. If you are not fully at home with backing-up and restoring your forum, dealing with bugs and regular upgrades, do not install this beta version.

Customers should bear in mind that this is a public beta, not a certified 'stable' release so the following caveats apply:
  • Beta software is unsupported and you install beta versions at your own risk.
  • Some minor bugs remain unresolved at this time, so beta software should not be on production sites.
  • You should always back up your database fully before attempting to install beta software.
  • If you choose to install this version, you should be aware that we plan to release new beta versions in rapid succession as bugs are fixed and holes are plugged. Do not install this beta version if you are not willing or able to keep up-to-date with new releases.
Discuss this release here.

My Recommendations
  • Wait until the final version of vBulletin 3.8.0 is out, since this sounds very unstable.
  • Do not use nulls other than GYSN/DGT.

DrDeath No they wont neither will DGT and no one should expect them to..if you want to learn then I suggest getting a private server thats not live and installing vbulletin and finding the call backs, serials, and such.

I have a private server on my computer!!! All I have to do is to unplug it from the internetz and there won't be any callbacks, but I was asking some kind of list of stuff to do so that I won't miss anything. And the keygenning part, that's something that I'm wondering.

vBulletin is no longer compatible with PHP 4.x, you will have to upgrade your web host to use PHP5. You may still use older versions of vBulletin with PHP4, but vBulletin 3.7.0+ will no longer be supporting PHP4.

you're a little wrong with that mate.

php4 has reached it's end of life, meaning php devs no longer develop for it. It's php5 now, yes.
The idea vbulletin 3.x just broke because of it is laughable.

Please note that vBulletin 3.7.x requires at least PHP 4.3.3 and MySQL 4.0.16 or later.

Note: We will continue to support PHP 4 in the vBulletin 3 series.

Sorry, my bad. I thought that vBulletin isn't compatible with it no more.
