The wait is over! XOOPS RC3 is finally here with many enhancements to support your website building needs. The XOOPS team would like to thank everyone for the support and feedback from RC2 which provided invaluable information for this release and our move towards a 1.0 release.
Just to get you up to speed, the XOOPS team opened up the testing to a greater number of testers (our beta team) this time to make this release as clean and useable as possible. We invited the official support sites and module developers to help test this release making it one of the most complete and hopefully bug free to date. With the help of our beta team, most translations and modules are ready for the RC3 release. Keep you eyes on the forums and news postings for module and other announcements.
Now, what's new? Not much on the outside but, we made significant enhancements to the core system which we think will make us leaner and meaner going into 2002. Below are some highlights of the changes:
- Upgrade script for RC2 - Optimized the DB structure
- Updated the admin system (major changes)
- Added a new Polls module
- Enhanced the forums (new sticky topic)
- Added a new mailing list module
- A completely new installation routine (no more editing of files!)
- User avatar uploads
- New module installer (now creates, prefixes tables and removes tables upon deletion)
- Enhanced user menu system
- And more......
That's about it. Please visit our site at

Thanks,
XOOPS Team
