Official info page for this release: http://b2evolution.net/downloads/5-2-0-stable (updated even after release)
Released on December 6th, 2014.
This is a stable release and is recommended for all users.
For a while this release was going to be called 5.1.3-stable but, as it includes a small database upgrade for best stability, we named it 5.2.0-stable, in order to signify that you need to perform a quick run of the installer, even when upgrading from 5.1.2. Rest assured though that this is majorly 5.1.2 with many many bug fixes, so it's actually super stable at this point! ;) Upgrade is highly recommended for all users.
New in version 5.2.0:
- Post moderation reminder emails.
- Enhanced / Fixed user account change notification emails, including larger profile pictures.
- When a comment is elevated into a post, all child comments (in case of threaded comments) are moved with it.
- Fixed blank screens when zlib compression is enabled and PHP ( version <= 5.3 ) is running in safe mode.
- Fixed tag suggestions for users with no back office access.
- Polished forums skin.
- Tightened security.
- Fixed filtering of the referring domains list.
- Many many small bug fixes.
