   7  This is merely a bugfix release. Some main changes include:

  11  Users who still suffer from login problem after implementing the patch are suggested to turn on custom session in system preferences, or set "enableRegenerateId" to FALSE in /kernel/session.php line #78.

  76

  83  Revealing the blank page backtrace log
  84  -----------------------------------
  85  
  86  XOOPS displays a basic error page when a fatal error preventing it to run is encountered. To help you diagnose the cause of the error, this page contains additional messages that are hidden by default. To reveal them, use your browser "select all" function (for most browsers, you can use "Ctrl+A").
  87  
  88  
  89  Incompatibility with some modules
  90  ---------------------------------
  91  
  92  Beginning with XOOPS 2.0.14, a change in the core template methods resulted in some incompatibilities with some modules that do not have their templates under (dirname)/templates/ as many XOOPS modules do. Please read extras/readme.txt for workaround instructions.
  93  
  94  Modules
  95  -----------------------------------
  96  
  97  The packages do not contain any module apart from the system one. You are invited to browse the XOOPS modules repository to get some. Note: as a new repository is being built, the current repository is not up-to-date, PLEASE VISIT DEVELOPERS' WEBSITES TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE USING PROPER VERSION OF MODULES.
  98  
  99  We also highly recommend the installation of the Protector module which will bring additional protection and logging capabilities to your site.
