Currently, work is being done on fixing the reported bugs in MyBB 1.4.x.
[edit] Other Notes
[edit] PHP Compatibility
After February 2008, all versions of MyBB starting from the major version release after 1.4.0 will not have PHP 4 support any longer. That is, the MyBB 1.4.x series will be the last series to have PHP 4 support.
The PHP Group has discontinued maintaining PHP 4 since December 31, 2007. Also PHP 5 has been released 3.5 years ago (at time of writing) and has many improvements over PHP 4 which the MyBB Group wants to take advantage of without having to write backwards-compatible code.
If your web host is still using PHP 4, we encourage you to urge your host to upgrade to PHP 5.
MyBB 1.6 will be first version of MyBB to only support PHP 5.
