v1.0.1

9 years ago

It has been almost a month since we declared ElkArte stable and released version 1.0.0

Since then we have been hard at work fixing bugs that our helpful community have let us know about. We also discovered areas that would benefit from some tightened security so we took care of those as well.

Since this is a "third-point (x.x.X)" (micro) release you will not find new features but only bug fixes and security updates to the code (and some small enhancements). Refer to the release notes on the forum for a complete list of updates.

  5. locate and select the file you downloaded at point 2
