Минавам направо към новите неща:
1) Календар
Нещата тук не са чак толкова подобрени ,но поне се работи върху него.Лично аз не си спомням кога въобще се е работило в/у него.
1.1 Мета тагове - Вече ще е възможно да се въвеждат мета тагове (ключови думи , описание и т.н.) в календара.
1.2 Календара е съчетан с FURL
1.3 Въвеждане на hCalendar микрокалендар (за повече инфо тук
1.4 Layout Enhancements
1.5 Възможност за Оценяване (Ratings) , коментирване (Comments) , прикачване на файлове (Attachments) , Оценяване (Reputation) , извесие (Notifications)и споделяне (Sharing).
1.6 Въвеждане на RSVP
1.7 Реорганизиране на новите събития - Формата за пускане на ново събитие е малко променена.Премахнати са няколко бутона и са добавени нови (тук нещата не са завършени и не се знае как ще е точно в официалната версия).
Коментар:Дребни но важни промени по календара са направени които много ми харесват.Е ще видим как ще е официално

2) Нов текстови редактор
2.1 Досега IPB работеше с WYSIWYG (rich text editing) едитор ,но това вече е стара технология и се преминава на едно съвсем ново ниво ,а именно CKEditor


2.2 AutoSave - Тази опция дооооста закъсня.Докато пишете пост/коментар/тема IPB ще запаметява автоматично през определено време текста (които ползва wordpress добре знае как работи опцията).Изключително добра опция


2.3 Изчистен редактор за отговор - Интересно , тук не е посочено дали става дума за "бързия отговор" или за друго ,ново поле.От скриина (по-доло) сякаш се вижда ,че това ще е бързия отговор,но нищо не се знае все още.

2.4 Последната новост в едитора е лайв ъпдейт на новите коментари.Ще го обясня така:
Когато пишете коментар по някоя тема и го "псунете" виждате ,че точно преди вас някои е написал също.Е тук докато пишете поста си ще ви показва дали има нови коментари в темата.
Коментар: Тук незнам , предпочитам да видя новия редактор в действие как ще се съчетае с IPB.Запазвам скиптично мнение.
3) Потребителски профил
3.1 Нов снимков едитор - Сега може да избирате снимка на профила ви само от системата за качване на снимки от вашето пц или от линк.С новия редактор ще може да избирате и от други места:

Коментар: Ами те потребителския профил доста си го барнаха преди и сега няма много неща за правене по-него.Радвам се все пак ,че не са го забравили и макар и малка ,но важна опция ще вкарат.
4) Админ Панел
Ей това чудовище откога чакам да го променят малко не е истина.Толкова години никаква промяна нямаше (е добре .. смяна на 2-3 цвята и разместване на няколко бутона ..


4.1 Нов скин - Тук ще приложа повече скриинове за да си добиете представа.
Основен изглед:

Меню:

Таб бар:

Лайв търсачка:

4.2 "Like" система - чиста имитация на лайк-овете от социалните мрежи.

Коментар: Няма да има вече дървен стил админ панела :D .Цветовете не ми допадат ,но поне лесно се сменят тези неща.Лайк системата не ми допада определено ...
5) Други малки промени
Тук ще пасна 1 към 1 (без да превеждам) нещата.
* "Delete All" button has been added to the SQL error logs page
* Linear+ and Outline modes removed for topic viewing (they're a hold-over from an older time on the web and it's time to retire them)
* Support for IPv6
* You can now use the member management tools to search for incomplete members
* Pagination added to the incomplete members page of the ACP
* If only one skin or language is choosable, the dropdown selector at the bottom of the page will be hidden
* Member photos and member avatars are being merged into one function: member photo. There was too much overlap between the two features.
* IP.Calendar and IP.Chat will no longer be bundled in the IP.Board download zip to reduce the size of the download. This also allows clients who have no interest in IP.Chat or IP.Calendar to choose not to download or install those applications. Of course those who do wish to use those applications can easily download from the client area and install them.
* Rebuild FURL cache button has been moved to the cache management page.
* It is now possible to rename the “hooks” folder to something else editing the constant IPS_HOOKS_PATH in initdata.php.
* You can now edit each group’s report center permissions directly from the group management area
* Report center now supports item marking to remember and indicate which reports you’ve viewed
* Customers who have purchased Copyright Removal no longer need to enter a separate Copyright Removal key. The copyright will automatically be removed when activating your license.
Коментар: Като гледам ще има разместване на бутончета което не ми е много приятно ,но ще се свикне и с това


6) Промени за девелопери.
Тук са "добрите/лошите" промени (

По-принцип промените са за хубаво ,но именно тези неща "карат" модулите от една версия да не разботят на друга

Пфууу хич не са малко ... пасвам 1 към 1
* $this->DB->force_data_type has been removed. Mod authors should now call $this->DB->setDataType( $column, $type ) instead.
* $this->DB->no_escape_fields has been hidden. You should use the available $this->DB->preventAddSlashes( array( 'col' => 1 ) ); syntax instead.
* Login management custom configurations have moved to database handling. conf.php (or conf.dist.php) files are no longer needed (though acp.php still is).
* search_results, sessions.location, and cache_store.cs_extra are all removed
* If you have a findIpAddress extension you can now add an array of additional columns to pull from your table as the fourth array member. i.e. "'posts' => array( 'author_id', 'ip_address', 'post_date', array( 'pid' ) ),"
* IPB will now do a better job of cleaning up centralized application data during uninstall, so applications don't have to do it manually. (http://community.inv...support-ticket/)
* The way hook data to-be-exported is stored has changed. This should have minimal impact on developers as the upgrade routine will update it for developers. This should make working with hooks between multiple developers easier, and make hooks import, export, install and uninstall in a much more consistent manner whether IN_DEV is on or not.
* Many skin system bugs have been resolved, and improvements implemented, making the skin system more flexible to developers using it outside of normal contexts, while allowing it to be more forgiving of various formatting possibilities (i.e. typehinting for function parameters and spacing around function parameter definitions).
* Central permission management now correctly can handle more than one permission type within a single application
* IPv6 is now supported. You should ensure any database columns holding IP addresses are varchar(46) or larger.
* You should use the new ipsRegistry::getAppClass( $app ); call to load your app_class_(application).php class. This ensures any library hooks execute as appropriate and consolidates duplicative code.
* You should use the new constants IPS_FILE_PERMISSION / IPS_FOLDER_PERMISSION for file and folder permission values. i.e. instead of chmod( $file, 0777 ); use chmod( $file, IPS_FILE_PERMISSION ); instead.
* Calendar has been completely rewritten - the DB schema has changed, dates are stored as datetime parts in MySQL, etc.
* The ACP has a new interface implemented, some of the JS has changed, jQuery is now supported in the ACP
* Removed 4 data hooks in public_forums_forums_topics: topicViewTopicData, topicViewDisplayData, topicViewForumData, topicViewPostData. All 4 of them can be replaced with a simple skin overloader for the template "skin_topic > topicViewTemplate".
* Photos and avatars have been merged.
* Photos thumbs are now cropped at 100px and you can select which area to crop
* Twitter / Facebook photos are actually imported and re-sized where possible (needs fopen URL wrappers otherwise the thumb URL for the services is used)
* Some functionality for importing/exporting/rebuilding from and to XML files has been hidden unless IN_DEV mode is enabled
* Added a second parameter for the function “$this?cache?getCache( $CACHE_KEY, FALSE );” which allows to skip the loading from the database if the cache isn’t loaded already.
* A new option to define an application when creating an hook, if the application is filled the code checks if it is enabled and if not skips loading the hook file completely.
class_forums::fetchTopicFolderIcon() has been changed to return an array of meta-data about the topic that can be used to generate the topic icon, although Rikki is changing how topic icons work in general anyways.
pp_*thumb*_x is now pp_*small*_x
* The sessions API (admin/sources/classes/session/api.php) now supports a different cutoff time rather than the default one, additional joins, ‘where’ query bits, complete ‘where’ query part override.
* The function “IPSLib::unpackGroup()” now is “IPSMember::unpackGroup()”.
* ACP group_form.php plugins now support an optional third method: postSave(). This method accepts one parameter (the group ID), is only called if present, is called after the rest of the group data is saved, and should not return anything.
* Added a getCount() method to the like class to return just the number of followers
* The setting disable_reportpost has been removed. Our applications now check the report center permissions directly, instead.
Performance Improvements
* Reduced several cache-load queries on the ACP index page
* Combined two permissions queries loaded on every ACP page into one
* Added some additional cache-loading calls to other ACP pages (manage applications, manage hooks, manage members)
* Added some caching for fetching the max version ID in the upgrade_history table, which reduces the number of queries on the ACP manage applications page by the number of applications installed
* Changed how modules are grabbed when IN_DEV is enabled for menu building (runs one query instead of one query per application)
* class_forums was getting loaded and initialized twice in the Manage Forums page - fixed so it's not reloaded a second time. Also removed a shortcut for the class in the manage forums file to reduce small amount of overhead/memory.
* Removed a query for group data on Manage Forums page (group_cache is already loaded, so used that instead)
* Removed several deprecated functions, reducing the size of some classes and reducing their resulting overhead
* Edited language export routine (for IN_DEV mode) so that it only exports the data we absolutely need. This reduces the size of our language XML files significantly, and also reduces memory overhead needed to process the language XML files.
* Index added on ibf_posts.post_parent to speed up certain update queries that previously required a full table scan
* A lot of unused code in the friend management files has been removed
* Avatar or profile photo cleanup tools in ACP were unnecessarily loading and instantiating upload class
* Removed outdated/non-functional coloring in admin logs
* Calendar has been rewritten, and much unused code has been removed.
* Caches used by calendar were not being properly loaded at runtime
* Changed most of the file_exists call in the code with is_file for a faster code execution
* The bbcode cache now uses the ‘bbcode_tag’ field as array key instead of an incremental integer, that allows a faster data access for single bbcode tags as there is no need to scan the whole array with a foreach.
* An unnecessary query has been removed from the forum index view (the query used to verify the name used for the friendly URL is correct)
* Removed unnecessary query from report center report view
* A cached used by report center was being queried separately instead of at page initiation
* Report center plugins are now cached for quicker runtime lookup without having to query the database
