We’re excited to announce that MyBB 1.6 is coming early 2010! There are 49 brand new features included. We’ve been working on MyBB 1.6 since the release of 1.4 in August of 2008, and the long work has paid off! Below are just a few of the new, exciting features MyBB 1.6 offers.

When will it be released?

The MyBB Developers have told many people this, it will be released when they believe its ready. If you look at the SVN access, you will see that the MyBB team gets at least 10-20 bug reports a day on MyBB 1.6. Just be patient.

Will themes and plugins need to be re-writed?

No,plugins will work fine, however you may need to do some minor tweaking. However in MyBB 2.0 (currently in planning) there will be major core changes. Themes will not work, however all you should need to do is some minor tweaking.

Once MyBB 1.6 is released, should I upgrade immediately?

Like all MyBB upgrades, it is recommended however when it is first released, it may be "beta". Most people though will not be upgrading immediately.

Have a question but its not listed here? Post below with your question

Here is the complete features list


EDIT: GET MYBB 1.6 HERE! HERE IS HOW

IF YOU FIND A BUG WITH MYBB 1.6, PLEASE REPORT IT TO THE DEVS HERE OR POST IT IN THIS THREAD SO IT CAN BE RELAYED,

THANKS

I belive that MyBB 1.6 will be just awesome, specially because all of those new features. I also hope that they'll at least enchant the default theme if not creating new and better one, you must admit that most forums use own skins and there is almost no need that they make new default theme.

The theme will not be changing until 2.0. There are minor differences in layout of somethings though.
