FusionBB 2.0 Released

This is our first major update to FusionBB and we've included some dramatic new features, including the Calendar and MyPaymentPal.

We are well aware that the first major upgrade to FusionBB has been a long time coming. Too long for sure - for that we are well aware, and we apologize for the long delay. To Thank You for Your Patience we will be adding 1 year to the expiration date of all licenses purchased prior to today. So if your license expired in August of 2006, you now have to August of 2007. This should give everyone plenty of time on their Member area access to not only get and upgrade to 2.0, but probably 2.1 as well. We plan to set ourselves up to work on a more frequent relesase schedule moving forward.

I want to personally thank Dave, as without his vision FusionBB would be nothing, and Jason, for without him FusionBB would look like crap. I'd also like to thank Lori and Chris for their tireless efforts assisting us. We can't forget about thanking our Alpha and Beta Testers, who have been working with us in the trenches daily, working on this thing and making it as stable as it is.

And of course, most of all, we need to thank our FusionBB license holders. We really really appreciate your faith and support in us! We have tried to do our best for you, and produce the best product possible. And you continue to have our committment in future versions of FusionBB.
