MyBB 1.8.4 is now available from the MyBB website and is a feature update, security and maintenance release.
This release fixes 7 vulnerabilities and 118 reported issues causing incorrect functionality of MyBB. Please be aware that to be able to provide easy to manage updates not all issues have been fixed in this version.
Please view the 1.8.4 changes on the Docs site for more information about the changes in this version.
Please note, that you do need to run the upgrade script for this version.
Before performing any upgrade please remember to backup your forum’s files and database and store them safely. If you have edited core files, including language files, please make sure you make a changelog for these changes so you can make them again (if necessary) once the upgrade is complete.
To upgrade, follow the Upgrading process. The upgrade script is required. There are changes to 18 language files. 54 templates have been changed or added.
If you’re using MyBB 1.8.2 or lower
If you think you’ve found a vulnerability in MyBB, we advise you not to publicly post it on these forums or publicly release information about it elsewhere until we’ve had time to prepare and release a patch.
As always, you can send through security related messages on the MyBB website from the Contact Us page or in our Private Inquiries forum – where you can start a new thread that only you and the MyBB Team can see.
Thanks,
MyBB Team

Re: “Note about updated package for 1.8.4”
Anyone who gets these updates via RSS won’t see this edited version of the announcement, since it was added after the RSS feed was polled/sent. I’d suggest writing a new blog post/announcement when there’s something to add or the information has changed.

Writing a new blog post for a minor bug fix would be a bit exaggerated.
By StefanT on February 22, 2015 at 10:15 am
Seriously?
By Mara Alexander, Hello World Web on February 22, 2015 at 11:52 pm
Given to the fact it was neither security related nor affecting a major feature there is actually no indication writing another announcement. There also haven’t been support threads about the issue.

Nice to see MyBB making improvements. 🙂

Hope this one resolves the existing minor bugs and issues! Good i backed up my test forum’s files and data

I don’t know whats wrong with my installation. I tried to use the update package and the complete package (override existing files). Both Upgrades lead me to an update “Upgrade my existing copy of MyBB to 1.8.3”
After the upgrade I’m still on 1.8.3
