As we get ever closer to the fabled "release candidate" stage and the eventual stable release, today we are releasing the eighth beta for XenForo 2.3! Nothing particularly noteworthy this week other than a number of bug fixes.

If you are running Release Candidate 3 already we encourage you to upgrade as soon as possible.
