Enhancements for the forum toolbar and the galleries feature, plus some other improvements to the forum, subscriptions and the directory.

Don’t forget, check out the online WP Symposium Pro admin guide (codex), and you can now try out the WP Symposium Pro Extensions plugin for free – download a copy for a trial period from www.wpsymposiumpro.com – and try out development versions between releases.

If you want to see release information for 16.05, 16.05.01 and 16.05.02 in one place, you can read the release notes on your admin dashboard (WPS Pro->Release Notes).

Remember, if you use a CDN (like CloudFlare), caching, etc – purge/clear everything after updating.

Drink tea, tea is good.
Best wishes, Simon
