That's right people! Just when you thought we were gonna delay it (again) 
Try it out now!
Need to be convinced? Here's what's new in Beta 5:
- Views like Forums in the admin now have maintenance mode that runs once per week. They will automatically fix table relations and such when needed.
- Full downgrade support. Ninjaboard 0.5 tables are backed up during install, and will be recovered during uninstall to allow downgrades.
- Users can now be assigned to more than one usergroup at once.
- Possible to adjust spacing between forum boxes
- Custom designed premium topic icons, exclusively for Ninjaboard.
- Person page frontend. Shows the avatar, user rank and the persons latest topics.
- Auto-translator, updates your NB language file with untranslated strings for your convenience. Turn on Language debugging under Global Config to activate it.
- Tools screen upgraded
- Norwegian translation on frontend.
- Ninjaboard Stats Admin Module upgraded with another graph. Go to the module manager > administrator and publish it to ninjaboard-dashboard-tabs.
- Chameleons compatibility with Gantry Framework and Warp5 are improved.
- Views like the forums and topics views are now taking advantage of HMVC.
- The forms styling when creating a topic, posting a reply or editing a post are now even sexier and more user friendly.
- Usergroups are now easier to setup, as you get a live, human readable paragraph to the right explaining your permissions configurations.
- Improved the Sample Content available on the Tools screen.
- Added option to not make the forums title in forums view linkable. Instead of just showing a permalink, or making it linkable (which don't work well in all templates)
- Much more localizable, javascript that were previously hardcoded, now uses JText for translatability.
- Forums styling is enhanced to take advantage of more CSS3 features, and subtle highlights between rows that change correctly based on mouse hover.
- Ninjaboard 1.0 can now install on a 0.5 site, and it'll present you an option to import the 0.5 data into your 1.0 database after upgrade.
- Styling of moderation tools frontend upgraded to use Chameleon.
- Advanced CSS3 (like gradients) no longer favor WebKit based browsers. Gecko and Presto support added.
- Usability of usergroup Mapper is improved. Easier to click and drag, and mouseover highlight the end point.
- phpBB3 converter vastly improved.
- Converter speeds are dramatically faster. Things that used to take 3 hours, now take literally 3 minutes.
- Major speed improvements, queries no longer recurse!
- bbCode parser upgraded to support more tags, like table tags.
If you really enjoy using Ninjaboard, let others know here.
if you experience something that suck, there's a place for that to, just because we love you
We'll start posting some tutorials while working on RC in the coming days, like how to use the auto-translation feature to localize Ninjaboard super fast!
Cheers!
