We will shortly be cutting over to vBulletin 4.1.4 from the current 4.1.0. We have had an uncommonly long wait between updates for a variety of reasons – 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 were skipped due to regressions that would have impacted users. Schedule and other issues delayed timing on 4.1.3 enough for us to wait for 4.1.4.
There are a number of updates:
- A new WYSIWIG editor
- Same editor in all site areas.
- Much richer editing and formatting support including tables.
- Auto-Save !!
- Should fix the single quote cut-n-paste issue.
- Much richer browser support.
- Better behavior overall.
- Table support !!
- A new mobile theme that is particularly friendly to WebKit (iOS, Droid and WebOS devices) browsers.
- Stronger social networking integration including like buttons.
- Lots of bug fixes.
- General update to the YUI framework used – especially helps IE9 users.
- Several query and other backend performance improvements.
I’ve embedded a short video at the end on the new editor to give some basic background for those that are interested as well. Thanks all…
