CoreBB 1.0.0 Initial Public Release

CoreBB 1.0.0 is now available as the first public release.

CoreBB is a classic message board system built for people who still like actual forums: readable threads, simple navigation, private messages, profiles, blogs, moderation tools, and an admin panel that does not require a weekend retreat to understand.

What is included

Fresh web installer
Public forum browsing, posting, replies, editing, polls, and moderation flows
Private messages and notifications
User profiles, avatars, signatures, and appearance options
Blog support
BBCode formatting plus Markdown blocks
Modern dark admin control center
Board/category management
Database backup tool
Email verification, password recovery, and configurable mail services
Twig-backed templates for cleaner theme and layout work

Security and maintenance

CoreBB includes CSRF protection on sensitive forms, prepared database queries, password hashing, login token validation, permission checks for admin tools, protected template files, and installer/config handling designed for shared hosting environments.

The goal is not to be the biggest forum package. The goal is to be understandable, portable, maintainable, and pleasant to run.
