Webonizer 2.X Changelog

The Webonizer 2.X series was released in January 2008. Older sites have been able to update their installations from version 1.x to 2.x.

The major difference between Webonizer 1.x and 2.x is the transition to using MySQLi. Newer installations require MySQL 5+ and PHP 5.2+. In the (still upcoming) Webonizer 2.3, there will no longer be a core connection to the MySQL database through old, non-object-oriented MySQL: if you have custom code that includes referencse to the global $webonizer_connection, you will have to rewrite those scripts to use the object oriented methods and refer to the global MySQL object $wbni.
