This release marks the most major update yet to the WP-United codebase. The full list of features and significant bugfixes is as follows:

• NEW: Templates automatically re-jigged to suit per-user blogs
• NEW: A fancy list showing details of each users’ blogs can be automatically installed as a homepage
• NEW: “View Site” link in wp-admin points to the user’s blog when users can have own blogs
• NEW: Flexible access point to integrated WordPress — rename blog.php and put it anywhere, with no fuss
• NEW: if non-integrated WordPress is accessed, it redirects to the integrated entry point
• NEW: Built-in method provided to put latest WordPress posts on an external page. Example add-on included for Smartor’s ezPortal.
• NEW: Tags provided so you can put avatars in your WordPress templates: wpu_get_avatar_commenter, wpu_avatar_poster & wpu_avatar_user (for details on how to do this, see here).
• NEW: WordPress posts (including excerpts & titles) can be optionally passed through the phpBB word censor
• NEW: Option provided to align phpBB & WordPress character encoding (i.e. ISOxxx vs UTF-8 ), to ensure the blog displays properly on an integrated page.
• Author details now checked and updated when they are changed in phpBB, not every time blog.php is visited
• WP-United Connection still installs when case differences exist in pathnames on Windows servers (should make it easier for Windows people to install).
• Check added to prevent path detection from working when an external URL is provided
• User blog homepages now use the home template (previously was Author Archive)
• Prev/Next posts links only lead to posts by the same author when users can have own blogs
• Link in template header automatically re-pointed to the right place on individual users’ blogs
• Version numbering moved to database to allow for automatic version checking/updates
• FIXED All RSS feeds now really work and produce compliant XML on an integrated page.
• FIXED: WordPress database error on new post when certain options are set
• FIXED: Fatal error in footer of Wizard Step 5
• FIXED: path/uri tests in Setup Wizard fail without warning when cURL is unavailable (thanks Paul999!)
