MyBB 1.2.10 is now available on the MyBB website and is a general maintenance release. MyBB 1.2.10 will be the last maintenance release of the MyBB 1.2 series before MyBB 1.4.

This release fixes numerous issues with versions released since 1.2.8 with some causing incorrect functionality of MyBB. These bugs have been fixed to provide a more stable version of MyBB for public use.

What's added/changed in this version?
The following two features were pulled out of MyBB 1.4 and back-ported to 1.2.10:

During an installation of MyBB, you can now choose the database collation/character set that should be used. The MyBB Group recommends users choose UTF-8, especially if you're using multiple languages on your forum.
Users without a UTF-8 database can choose to convert their existing database via the Admin CP.

MyBB 1.2.10 was also released to run with our upcoming public release of the MyBB Merge System, due for release shortly.

Please note, that you need to run the upgrade script for this version. This is so the templates may be updated.
There are no database schema changes in this version.

They released it at a nice timing. I'm waiting for my hosting account to be created so now when I get my hosting account, I could just upload MyBB 1.2.10 directly instead of uploading 1.2.9 first before waiting for their release.

I'm still anticipating MyBB 1.4 though.

cool... new update..

thanks for the heads up. i updated and all looks good!

Whats the main difference from myBB 1.2.9?
Can someone summarize me

Thanks

Zac

it fixes a long list of bugs that i've never noticed and allows you to convert your database to utf, this is required for mybb1.4 so really this is a stepping stone to make 1.4 upgrade easier.

what happened to 1.3?

1.3 (odd number) is probably an alpha/development release.

well 1.2.10 is still using the "core" files of 1.2 so its just 1.2.9 + 0.0.1 which is 1.2.10

the next core is 1.4, 1.3 is missed because it is like 13 (commonly known as an unlucky number)
