does this release run with PHP7? Currently I'm using Phorum version 5.2.19 and PHP5.4.

This is great news, it is good to see a new version of Phorum.

Thanks to all contributors ;-)]]> cactux Announcements Fri, 18 Sep 2015 06:11:49 -0500 https://www.phorum.org/support/read.php?64,155912,155920#msg-155920 https://www.phorum.org/support/read.php?64,155912,155920#msg-155920 [www.phorum.org]

and yes, just overwriting the files with the newer ones, if you have good backups.]]> Thomas Seifert Announcements Mon, 27 Jul 2015 01:10:11 -0500 https://www.phorum.org/support/read.php?64,155912,155919#msg-155919 https://www.phorum.org/support/read.php?64,155912,155919#msg-155919
I know it's a given to make sure to back up the current system and my forums' database before doing the upgrade procedure; however, what is the best procedure to do this upgrade itself to the new version? Is it simply just overwriting most of the files of the previous version with the new version that has just been posted?

Once again, I am well aware of backing up the previous system's files and the database, considering that one of them contains the info needed to connect to the database on the server host I'm using. All right; thanks again.]]> mcfp_2013 Announcements Sun, 26 Jul 2015 20:15:05 -0500 https://www.phorum.org/support/read.php?64,155912,155915#msg-155915 https://www.phorum.org/support/read.php?64,155912,155915#msg-155915 2. yes, no longer being generated. Changelog is given on the page at the downloads.
3. yes, currently the docs are only generated on the website, no need to distribute it all the time.]]> Thomas Seifert Announcements Fri, 24 Jul 2015 15:01:47 -0500 https://www.phorum.org/support/read.php?64,155912,155914#msg-155914 https://www.phorum.org/support/read.php?64,155912,155914#msg-155914
I just started to upgrade to the new version.

My first observations:

• The folder inside the ZIP-File is called Phorum-Core-68a6d88. I think this folder should be called phorum-5.2.20 instead.
• File /docs/NEWS is missing.
• The folder /docs/html/ and his subfolders seem incomplete. Compared to 5.2.19 a lot of files a missing.
