Release Notes

With EBA-News ver. 1.1, all content will be sent as UTF-8. This is one of the many changes from ver. 1.0 to assure maximum flexibility along with multi-language support. It will also simplify upgrades in the future when new features will require more updated software.

New installations will therefore see if your server meets the requirements before proceeding. Existing installations might not work as expected if the server software is outdated. Your site will still run, but there might be problems using some encodings and functions may fail to work. Users are strongly encouraged to complete needed software updates as soon as possible.
