The OCbb Developers are pleased to finally release OCbb 0.9.5, Granny.

Granny includes the following major changes:

- New Drafts System
- Handful of minor security fixes
- A lot of testing
- Revoking support for Postgre, MSSQL, Firebird, and Oracle. The community is welcome to revive these.

The OCbb Developers are proud to announce the release of the fourth pre-release of OCbb, otherwise known as 0.9.4 or Foghorn Leghorn.

Changes
This release does a lot in terms of code cleanup, and it completes a comprehensive security review of the code. The language files should also be ready for translation. In addition, the code is now compatible with php 5.1.x and 5.0.5.

The Open Concepts Bulletin Board Developers are quite pleased to announce the availability of OCbb 0.9.1 (Codename: Bugs Bunny). This is the first release of the OCbb code base and the phpBB Olympus code from which it was forked six weeks ago.

We are quite sure that this release has many, many bugs in it. We need you to report bugs to us to progress the software. If we have a good response, the next beta could be released even within April (note: Blatant Optimism). ... read more
