This Version of zWar (v2.00) is written for PHP-Fusion version 7.00.
It won't work with earlier versions of PHP-Fusion.
zwar v2.00 RC2 is the second release of a whole new zWar-Script.
The code has been changed in many places and many features have been added, so there might still be bugs and errors. Please report any of these to the Support Forum on Zwar Dev-Site.
Also there may be some difficulties with all the different PHP-Fusion designs. zWar was developped using the standard designs of php-fusion. If you want to modify it, you either need some experience or you just wait till i wrote a seperate stylesheet (which will come in next version).
