PHP 5.5 Support for vBulletin 3

vBulletin 3.8.9 Beta 1 has been released, and is available for download, it is available to sites with current (active) vBulletin licenses.




vBulletin 3.8.9 Beta 1 has received no official QA testing, however, we are confident that there will not be any major issues - the majority of changes are taken directly from the equivelent vB4 changes. It is recommended that you test 3.8.9 on a test php 5.5 system before considering using it for production, no official QA testing is expected at this time. It will remain labelled as a beta until we are confident of its stability.


If you encounter any bugs related to PHP 5.5 in vBulletin 3.8.9 Beta 1, please log them in the vB3 Jira Project.

Note: Only bugs related to PHP 5.5 compatibility will be reviewed, since vBulletin 3 has been end-of-life for several years.


vB3 Blogs & vB3 Mapi

If you have the vB3 Mapi add-on, there is also a Mapi 1.4.6 Beta 1 available.

If you have the vB3 blogs add-on, there is also a Blogs 2.0.6 Beta 1 available.

Note: Please log any Blogs or Mapi bugs in the vB3 Jira project, not the separate Blogs/Mapi projects.
