Hello vBSEO customers and friends,

vBSEO 3.5 RC2 Final is now Available
The vBSEO development team has been hard at work putting together our latest 3.5 release, Release Candidate 2. RC2 Final fixes all reported bugs since RC1 & RC2 Pre-Release. You will now find a link for RC2 Final in the http://www.vbseo.com/downloads/ area for all licensed customers who wish to test this pre-release software.

Remember, RC's are NOT final software packages and should not be used on mission-critical websites.

Note: If this is your first time upgrading from anything other than RC1, please be sure to read our prior announcement http://www.vbseo.com/f5/vbseo-3-5-re...-1-here-39776/ for file deletions. vBSEO 3.5 RC1 and higher now use different file names and directories for better structure and security.

Better vB3.x Support
RC2 is the first of the 3.5 series that is functioning on vB3 forums. Like vb4 installations, this should not be used on live websites.

Important Notices:

• Please report all bugs discovered via the vBSEO Plugin Bug Reporting Forum, NOT via this thread.
• As this is not final software, installation on live boards is not recommended and vBSEO Total Support is limited. Fixes to problems may not be readily available until the next release.

vBSEO Sitemap 2.6 Beta
We have also released vBSEO Sitemap 2.6 Beta publicly alongside this RC2 release. 2.6 is the only version that should be run alongside vBulletin 4 for best compatibility. The updated sitemap is available via the http://www.vbseo.com/downloads/ area for all licensed customers who wish to run vBulletin 4.

Enjoy!
