PHPBB3 RC3 released

[kix_mc3]

Hello,

We are very pleased to announce the availability of the phpBB3 RC3 package. This is the third release candidate which is meant to become the Gold release if no more bugs or problems arise. Of course there may be more release candidates.

For release candidates full support is given, allowing language packs as well as modifications and styles. We only give support to those having a clean RC installation or updates from previous release candidates, previous conversions or updates from betas will not be supported here. We encourage only those running the release candidates wanting to test out the new version, it is still recommended to wait for the full release; after all this is a release candidate.
Please also note that we urge you to update - we only support the latest version. Bug reports submitted for previous releases will be closed as well as only the latest version being supported here.

Please refer to the complete changelog for a detailed list of fixes since RC2:

http://www.phpbb.com/support/documents. ... &version=3

To re-iterate the support guidelines, we won't support the following installation types:
Updates from phpBB3 Beta versions to phpBB3 RC1 and higher
Conversions from phpBB 2.0.x to phpBB3 Beta versions
phpBB3 Beta installations

We give support for the following installation types:
Updates from phpBB3 RC1 to any higher version
Conversions from phpBB 2.0.x to phpBB3 RC1 and higher
New installations of phpBB3 RC1 and higher

A short explanation of how to do a conversion, installation or update is included within the provided INSTALL.html file, please be sure to read it. If you want to be on the safe side we suggest still waiting for later releases before you fully convert your 2.0.x installation.
