I know it has been a long time for any new updates to come out in relation to 68 KB and I wanted to make a quick post outlining what is going on and the future plans for the script.

The reason for the delay is we have other commercial software and released a new major version of it earlier in the year. Since that time we have been busy keeping up with demand which is a great thing.

After the July 4th holiday (We are in the USA) development will be picking back up again and we will be moving toward getting v1.0 released some time this year.

For 68 KB we are now changing the licensing and going with the New BSD license. This means it will be open source and available for free. Since we are now going open source we have moved the files over to Google Code so you can access the SVN repository and always see what is going on. Here is the link to our project page: http://code.google.com/p/68kb/

Although the SVN side of things will be moved to Google Code we do plan to keep our forums and knowledge base hosted here on 68kb.com.

I want to thank everyone that has downloaded 68KB and for using it.

68KB RC2 is now released and can be downloaded here:

We have decided to make the script free through v1 so we can get more beta testers and get all the bugs worked out.

Starting with this release you no longer have to use a license key. We have also changed our forums so you will need to register to use them.

Since it is Friday and I am so ready for the weekend I figured I would share a list of some fun sites.

• Derek Allard’s new awesome PHP framework
• Tower Defense - Warning this is very addicting
• Xobni Support Desk - I like the way this kb is setup.
• WebAppers - A cool site with neat toys.
• Versions - I wish this would hurry up and be available. I have been waiting patiently for a while now.
• Kevin Windham finally wins! - This has been a long time coming and I am glad someone finally beat Chad Reed.

That is all for this week. I wish everyone a happy weekend.

We have found a bug in the RC1 release yesterday that would prevent you from installing the script. We have now fixed this and recommend you download the zip file again. The only file changed is sources/libraries/Kb_events.php

Thanks again and sorry for the issue.
