Finally, the add-ons have some love
While there is the usual amount of bug fixes as we work hard to make XenForo 2.3 even more stable, this Beta in particular brings a number of new features to our official add-ons.
You can read our recent 'Have you seen...?' thread to find out what's new:
Note in particular, XenForo Enhanced Search has slightly higher minimum requirements than we reported previously. This now requires Elasticsearch 7.2 which was necessary to support the new search suggestions feature for auto-completing searches. You can also now use OpenSearch if you prefer.
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 5, we are also releasing updated versions of each of our official add-ons:
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.

php actually points to the correct PHP binary (it's usually correct, but if you get errors, that might be why): Code:
