Previous versions

  • nuBuilder Forte Version 4 is still available here:
    • Github by Steven Copley | Sourceforge
    • Updated Github v4 version by Ap.Muthu - Has many backported fixes besides Hindi and Tamil language support. This version fork is useful for those who cannot upgrade for any reason (older versions of server components like MySQL, PHP, Apache, poor hardware, expensive / no technical support, etc) and/or do not want the extra features of v4.5 and their existing application is quite stable besides comfort of codebase version familiarity.
  • nuBuilder Forte Wordpress plugin from Wordpress. This is no longer supported in newer builds. Its Github repo is now archived.

Which Version should I use?

  • nuBuilder Forte is currently stable at v4.5 which is what all new users are expected to use and is in active development
  • Existing users of nuBuilder Forte v4 can easily migrate to v4.5 with some caveats like backup, etc. 98% appear to have gone this way according to the developers
  • If you have a resource constraint in using the newer hardware and OS builds necessary for an upgrade you may want to stick with the existing v4
  • If you have any extensive application built on a legacy version of nuBuilder and do not expect any of the new features to be useful and / or subscribe to "If it aint broke, don't fix it" dictum, stay with v4

Is version 4 still developed?

  • No. v4 is in maintenance mode for now at the Updated Github v4 repo where some essential features are backported and fixes incorporated actively for now.
  • v4 now supports Tamil and Hindi user interfaces with complete translations for a few languages backported from v4.5
