Hi everyone, phpBB Group announces the release of phpBB 2.0.21, the "Bertie's Summer Vacation" edition. This release is a cumulative bug fix update, as well as including a number of minor security fixes. We have altered the visual confirmation system used on servers without zlib enabled to bring it up to the same level as that used elsewhere and made a few small performance improvements. As with all new releases we urge you to update as soon as possible. You can of course find this download available on our downloads page. As per usual four packages are available to simplify your update.[list:ad89135c79] Full Package[/b:ad89135c79] Contains entire phpBB2 source and English language package Changed Files Only[/b:ad89135c79] Contains only those files changed from previous versions of phpBB.
