Today, we continue the beta stage of XenForo 2.3 with Beta 3, albeit a little later than originally planned This release fixes a number of bugs found since the previous release, and adds support for passwordless logins with passkeys which you can read about right here. There are a few known issues with passkeys at this point, particularly with hardware-based keys, so please check the bug reports forum if you run into anything.
We strongly recommend anyone testing 2.3 during this beta period upgrade as each beta version is released.
More specific details regarding bugs fixed in this release can be found in the resolved bugs forum.
This is beta software. It is not officially supported.
We do not recommend running it in production.
Please remember that this is beta software. It contains known bugs and incomplete functionality. We do not recommend running beta software in a production environment, and support is limited at this time to questions here on the community forums.
Add-ons and custom styles may be broken after upgrading to 2.3. You must test your add-ons thoroughly or look for updates. Be especially careful with add-ons that cover similar features to ones that are added to 2.3; these may conflict with the core XenForo data. If data conflicts are found, they will need to be resolved in a new add-on release or by removing the add-on before upgrading to 2.3.
If you choose to run beta software, it is your responsibility to ensure that you make a backup of your data. We recommend you do this before attempting an upgrade. If in doubt, always do a test upgrade on a copy of your production data.
All customers with active licenses may now download the new version from the customer area.
Alongside the release of XenForo 2.3.0 Beta 3, we are also releasing updated versions of each of our official add-ons:

Full details for how to install and upgrade XenForo can be found in the XenForo manual. One-click upgrades from XF 2.2 are possible, but you must uncheck the "Only check for stable upgrades" option in Options > Basic board information. Once the XF 2.3 upgrade has been complete, the official add-ons should be upgraded as well.
Please remember that this is beta/preview software. It contains known bugs and incomplete functionality. We do not recommend or support running beta software in a production environment. Support for beta releases is limited to questions here on the community forums.
