I’m pleased to announce the release of WP-United v0.8.2. This fixes a number of bugs discovered since the release of 0.8.1, and includes several improvements.

To upgrade from v0.8.x, just upload the full fileset from root/ to your forum root, clear the phpBB cache and run the Setup Wizard all the way through again. Don’t forget to copy over your blog.php, and – if the Setup Wizard doesn’t do it for you – the wpu-plugin.php plugin file.

To upgrade from earlier versions, follow the relevant upgrade file included in the contrib/ folder, and follow these instructions.
