We’re proud to release vBulletin 5.1.0 Connect. It is available to all customers with a valid vBulletin 5 Connect license. Our goal with this version is to primarily focus on returning the Article publishing functionality of the vBulletin 4 Publishing Suite.

Please note the minimum required version of PHP is 5.3.7. This is a slight increase from previous versions of vBulletin 5 Connect. vBulletin 5.1.0 includes updates for the...
