vbDrupal 4.7.4.4 released

[elmuerte]

First of all the vbDrupal team wishes you a happy new year.

vbDrupal is a fork from the Drupal CMS which integrates Drupal with the vBulletin forum software.
This is the stable release of the next generation of the vbDrupal project. This generation is much more compatible with the stock Drupal releases than the previous generation. It has been rebuild from the ground up taking into account everything that we learned from the previous generation.
All third party modules and themes for Drupal should also work with this version of vbDrupal.

This version of vbDrupal is based on Drupal version 4.7.4.
It has been designed to work with vBulletin versions 3.5 and 3.6. A copy of the vBulletin software is required in order to use this piece of software.

This is a maintenance release. It contains a couple of important fixes. If you are using MySQL 4.1 or later and the forum chartype isn't UTF8 and non-ASCII characters are used then you should upgrade.

More information and install and update instructions can be found in the README.html file included with this package.

You can download this release here: vbDrupal-4.7.4.4.zip

This download is suitable for both a clean installation and as update for any previous version.

Changelog

• fixed HTML special chars and UTF encoding in "who's online" and vblist (and others using vbcore for retrieve thread data)
• fixed a couple of illegitimate chartype juggling queries when importing data from vBulletin to vbDrupal.
