PunBB 1.3 Beta Released
Published on the 4th of February 2008
Rickard Andersson just announced the release of the new PunBB 1.3 beta (external link). PunBB (external link) is a very light-weight, fast, standards-compliant, and simple bulletin board system. Its code is simple and its markup is proper XHTML. PunBB is a fantastic bulletin board system without the unnecessary bloat of other bulletin board systems.
PunBB 1.3 brings a lot of much-needed improvements to PunBB, primarily the introduction of the extension system, which allows developers to create organised modifications based on a hook system. I am excited to see how successful the extension system is. Also, I look forward to no longer having to manually make PunBB updates because of Lowter's modifications to the code.
There are a number of refinements and overall it is a spectacular piece of PHP code. You can download the beta from PunBB's website (external link).

Probably when it is released officially and not in a beta. It is advised not to run this beta on a live website such as Lowter before it's bug tested.
