phpBB3 RC7 fixes a LOT of major security issues and regressions found in RC6. Nice job, phpBB Group.

Also, please note that according to the development team, with RC7, most styles and MODs will break due to the implementation of form tokens to mitigate CSRF and other security breach methods. The most recent phpBB releases are technically just security fixes, but RC6 and RC7 incorporate such big changes you’ll start to have trouble migrating/upgrading from RC5 and below.

Anyway, I hope development of phpBB3 ‘Olympus’ goes smoothly again, and the gold release comes soon — I can’t wait!
