Early Retirement of 2.0.x

[Muzet]

Hello,

Today we are announcing our retirement plans for phpBB 2.0.x. This is advanced notification so that everyone can stay informed.

Commencing Wednesday 1st October 2008, phpBB 2.0.x download links will be removed from the download page at phpBB.com. Anyone wishing to obtain phpBB 2.0.x can continue to obtain the 2.0.x package at sourceforge.net.

Commencing Thursday 1st January 2009, phpBB 2.0.x will be formally retired, and support will no longer be actively provided for 2.0.x. Converting from 2.0.x to 3.0.x will continue to be supported.

Security patches, if required, will be provided until Sunday 1st February 2009.

The reason for the early retirement is the PHP Group's decision to retire PHP 4. phpBB 2.0 mainly runs on the PHP 4 codebase and it would be unwise to require people to have an unsupported version of PHP installed in order to use phpBB.

Teams will announce how they will handle the retirement in the coming days.

The phpBB2 styles section will also be retired from this site in 2009.

On January 1st 2009, no new or updated phpBB2 styles will be accepted into the Styles Database.

The phpBB2 styles forums (Styles Database Releases and Styles Development & Discussion) will remain open until May 1st, 2009, when they will be closed and hidden from public view. At that point, all downloads for phpBB2 styles may be removed from this site.

Authors who wish to convert their styles to phpBB3 may use the 3.0 styles forums to receive assistance.
