FeatherBB is an open source forum application released under the GNU General Public Licence. It is free to download and use and will remain so. FeatherBB is a fork of FluxBB 1.5 based on Slim Framework and designed to be simple and very lightweight, with modern features: MVC architecture, PDO, OOP and a plugin system. Maybe more? You are more than welcome to join the development :-)
This is FeatherBB v1.0.0 Beta. It is intended for testing purposes only and not for use in a production environment. Please report all the bugs you may encounter to the forums or in the GitHub bug tracker.
