IPBSupport News 8 Report post Posted October 3, 2006 We are pleased to announce the second public beta of Invision Power Board 2.2 has been released. This is the second public beta release so please take a moment and read this entire announcement before downloading. As this is a BETA release there will be bugs and issues with the software. Please report any issues using our bug tracker. Before reporting please first quickly check to see if anyone has already reported your issue. Beta releases are encoded so we can better control the release and ensure any reported problems are code-related and not due to modifications. Please ensure you are familiar with how to install Zend or IonCube encoded PHP software. This will be the last release of version 2.2 that will be encoded. Technical support is not available for version 2.2 public betas. Do not use this software on a public install.
