Overview

MyBB 1.6.0 is the latest major release for the MyBB series, meaning it will includes several new features and other tweaks to improve the MyBB software.

A feature tour of MyBB 1.6 is available on the MyBB website.

New PHP Requirement

Starting with MyBB 1.6 and onwards, the minimum requirement for PHP is PHP 5.1.0 or newer. We are glad to make this leap forward from PHP 4 and being able to take advantage of the new features of PHP 5 that we were not able to use with PHP 4 compatibility. Remember to check with your host, before upgrading to MyBB 1.6!
