• Fixed bug with choice_add procedure - when you add a new choice to a poll it would fail.
• Problems Enzo found on older compilers.
• Fixed issue with TimeZones when no DB is present once and for all.
• Refactored BoardSettings - allowing board settings to be created without a DB present.
• Create Mail now optionally uses the "TO USER" language localization when creating emails.

• Added nUnit Test Project.
• Fixed issue with Categories being visible if there were no available forums in them.
• Fixed issue with forum_sort function if a "StartAt" forumId was supplied. This was a problem when searching sub-forums: it wasn't really adding the start at forum to the data table of forums.
• Moderators now cannot assign moderator access mask to another users. This is reserved to admins.
• Patch from bbobb for SQL data layer changes.
• Multiboard fixes by calling the WebConfigurationManager for the BaseUrl key. For each separate board page, add a web.config in that directory and specify the correct YAF.BaseUrl key.

• Moved DBSize and ForumInstalled properties to the DB class. Add infomessage enum.
• Added proper error handling if the user cannot be located in the Membership. (Before it just swallowed the exception.)

• MessageReported tables entries are now deleted when a topic is deleted. DisplayPost won't show PM/EMail links for guest posters.
• Replace rules cache needs to be board-based since custom BBCode can vary as well as options (possibly in the future).
• Fixed - ForumJump cache was NOT Board based causing some multi-board "PostBack" issues.
• Added "YAF" prefix to all YAF application setting.
• Ensured a null replace rule cannot be added (attempting to fix a null reference exception).
• Fixes/updates for Telerik Rad Editor - Thanks to Mark Hufford.

• Updated German language thanks to MrData.

• Removed wb.SubString() which wasn't being assigned anywhere and was essentially doing nothing.
• Corrected the formatting, the labels were too big and the text boxes were too small.
• Implemented an optional ShowToolBar config key if you want to hide the toolbar because you have your own menu controls on your integrated site.
• In some instances the inbox css styles were all wacky. This fixed the problem.

• YafContext now automatically inits as needed.
• Fixed an error (DeletedRowInaccessibleException) that would occur if a user deleted the first message in a topic.

• Fixed issue where the inner HTML was not being displayed properly for the BBCode Modules. Also fixed an issue with IsPasswordCompliant from the SourceForge bugs.
