Ikadon is correct.  We will release a compatibility update for IP.Content alongside IP.Board 3.2.  We will work on a full update for IP.Content shortly after that release.

A security issue has been discovered in IP.Board 3.1.x that could potentially allow a malicious user to insert JavaScript or other code into your community.

The damage this sort of attack can do is drastically mitigated by IP.Board's use of HTTP-only cookies and other security measures.

As part of our continued dedication to security enhancement, we are releasing a simple patch for IP.Board 3.1.2 to address this issue. If you are running IP.Board versions less than 3.1.2 simply upgrade your software version.

The main download zip has been updated at the time of this post.

IP.Content is a great product however from what i've read it is not easy to use by people who no coding skills. Many webmasters fall in that category, my question is: are you going to do anything about it in the future?

As with the above feature, would it be possible to add a shorter topic preview feature to the recently added topics hooks.

So that it would look like.

I second this suggestion. Field permissions are needed for using IP.Content as a  survey tool.

So you basically mean dropmenus? If so I'm all for it.

+1 just because I love the justification!

IP.Board 3 was released on June 25, 2009 and through the various update cycles is now a stable, mature product with a version 3.1 release forthcoming.

So that we can focus all of our development, support, and service efforts on our new version 3 platform, we are announcing the end of support (sometimes called end of life or EOL) for the following IPS software versions (and earlier versions than those listed):

• IP.Board 2.3.6
  
• IP.Blog 1.4.2
  
• IP.Gallery 2.2.4
  
• IP.Downloads 1.2.2

Technical support, installations, and related services will end for these products on July 1, 2010. On that date all technical or service requests will be advised to simply upgrade to the most recent versions of the products. We will not force upgrades but will also not be able to diagnose issues or answer questions relating to the older software. Also, on that date, IPS will no longer address any new issues or bugs reported in the older software versions.

Security Updates

In the event an issue is discovered impacting the security of these older versions of the software, IPS will provide a patch posted in our announcements forum. We will continue to provide security updates until January 1, 2011.

We are pleased to announce IP.Gallery 3.1.0 has been released.

The following is a list of what's new in this version of IP.Gallery:

Friendly URLs
We've integrated gallery into the global FURL system used by IP.Board 3, this will allow gallery to create friendly URLs for categories, albums, and images.

Category/Album Covers
When viewing an image, you will have a new option to set that image as the 'cover' for the category or album that contains the image.  When a cover image is specified for a category or album, that image will always be displayed, in place of the last uploaded image thumbnail.

Sub Albums
Albums now support unlimited sub albums, which work exactly like gallery sub categories.

Profile Picture Album
You can now create a new kind of album, a 'Profile Picture' Album. After this album has been created, any images that you upload to it will be displayed on the change picture page in your User CP, making them easy to select as your profile image.

Image notes
Image owners are now able to add notes to sections of their images, positioning and resizing them to suit. Other members will be able to see the notes when hovering over the image. (An example)

Image rotation
Images can now be rotated in 90° increments, to compensate for those photos taken in landscape or portrait, but saved in the wrong orientation.

New slideshow
We have completely rewritten the slideshow feature! It is now a unified interface, loading images on demand as necessary. Users can play or pause the slideshow at will, or jump to specific photos using the thumbnail bar.

Friends-only albums
When creating an album, users can now choose to restrict viewing to only those users who are on their friends list.

Reputation support in comments
We have added support for IP.Board's reputation feature in comments posted within IP.Gallery.

Interface tweaks
We have updated the style of categories so that larger versions of the image are used, to give more impact. The image listing has also been updated, and will now show as many images on a row as the users browser can fit. This should improve the display of IP.Gallery for users who have higher screen resolutions. The image view screen has also been improved, including support for those features mentioned above.


Downloading

You can download IP.Gallery 3.1.0 if you have an active license in the client area. As always, make a backup of your community before proceeding.

http://answers.oreil...le-usually-use/ this looks to be an IP.Content page, with thread-like comments.

I agree article comments/tracking should be in the profile with posts and topics if it isn't already.

Useful ideas

We're pleased to announce that the following products are now available in your download center in the "Development Releases" category of each application:

IP.Gallery 3.1.0 RC 2
IP.Downloads 2.1.0 RC 3
IP.Blog 2.1.0 RC 2

Please note that all of these applications require IP.Board 3.0.5.

As this is a release candidate there may be bugs and issues with the software. Please report any issues using our bug tracker. Before reporting please first quickly check to see if anyone has already reported your issue.

Technical support is not available for this release.

Do not use this software on a public install. Wait for the final series for your public installs.

In general, only download and participate in the release candidate testing if you are comfortable working with testing software.


These will be the last release candidates for the products listed. The next release of each product will be a supported, final version release.
