The changes in this release from 1.1 are immense - and we can't list them all here. We recommend you take a look at the changelog on the download page - some of the highlights include:
* Database abstraction including support for PostgreSQL and SQLite
* Post and attachment moderation - setup through board permissions.
* Additional group management features such as group moderators and joinable and requestable groups
* Comprehensive user warning system.
* Paid subscriptions to allow people to make a payment with PayPal to get additional group access
* Personal message labeling system and new viewing options
* OpenID support - to enable users to login and register with their OpenID account
* Custom profile fields to enable admins to setup new profile fields in addition to the default
* WYSWIYG editor, to improve the user posting experience
* Ignore boards and ignore user functions - so users only see what they want to see
* Scheduled events and mail queuing systems to add additional functionality to the forum
* Admin and user logs to track who makes what changes to a user's profile
* A moderation center to bring together all moderation functionality into one place for all people with moderation abilities
I don't get digg, but you can digg this sucker if you want.
Go crazy I guess and make backups before you click that download.
