Phpbb Version 3.0

[DWD]

The new phpBB version 3.0 is being released today and it looks awesome!

 

As soon as my necessary mods are released...and 3.01 (always wait for the X.01)...I'll be upgrading.

This is great news!!!

 

I've been testing Olympus in various stages of Beta and RC, and I'm really looking forward to this.

 

I have one forum that can be upgraded soon, and another for which I need to wait until the User Blog Mod is further along in development.

phpBB list the minimum requirements as follows:

 

Minimum Requirements

 

phpBB3 has a few requirements which must be met before you are able to install and use it.

 

• A webserver or web hosting account running on any major Operating System with support for PHP
  
• A SQL database system, one of:
  
  MySQL 3.23 or above (MySQLi supported)
  
  
  PostgreSQL 7.3+
  
  
  SQLite 2.8.2+
  
  
  Firebird 2.0+
  
  
  MS SQL Server 2000 or above (directly or via ODBC)
  
  
  Oracle

  
  

• PHP 4.3.3+ (>=4.3.3, >4.4.x, >5.x.x, >6.0-dev (compatible)) with support for the database you intend to use.
  
• getimagesize() function need to be enabled
  
• These optional presence of the following modules within PHP will provide access to additional features, but they are not required.
  
  zlib Compression support
  
  
  Remote FTP support
  
  
  XML support
  
  
  Imagemagick support
  
  
  GD Support

All these things are mystical Chinese sorcery terms to me. I assume, because TCH rocks so much, that it meets the minimum requirements, right?

 

My real question is the optional requirements to access additional features, which of those does TCH support?

 

And is that support automatically built in, up and running or is is just supported if the customer installs it?

Everything you need is on the server. Install it and go.
