vBulletin 3.0.1

This release is essentially just a bug fix release. We have not found any critical bugs that have warranted an emergency release; these are simply routine bug fixes.

Backing Up Your Forums
Please be sure to check your backups, that they are complete before continuing with an upgrade. We had reports that PHP was causing time out errors when creating the back up SQL, and this was causing for incomplete or corrupted backups. The safest way to do a backup is to use the mysqldump utility through telnet, as it will not suffer from any such problems. Full instructions for backing up your database are available in the vBulletin 3 Manual.

Installing or Upgrading vBulletin
Please see the appropriate manual sections: Installing vBulletin and Upgrading vBulletin.
