Release Notes
v1.33 : The much-requested installer script is included with this. Please be aware that this is largely untested and may have some bugs, so make sure you make a backup of your wiki before using. This should make a painless installation possible, as it detects most all settings that would be needed for the plugin, including user groups. Also, note that on completion, for security reasons, it deletes itself.

v1.3 : Single sign-on support is DONE! Right now I'm calling it beta because I don't have a lot of testbed space, but I do know it works on 3.1.0 (and my guess is that it will regress just fine down to 3.0.x as well) but as for the 2.x.x and 1.x.x trees, I have doubts that it will function as expected. The one big disclaimer about the underscore/space discrepancy fix is that if you have two IPB users with similar names, such as "User_A" and "User A", the account associated with "User_A" will always take precedence on login. When using single-sign on this doesn't matter. For sites that choose to use this plugin, please leave your URL on the discussion page so I know how many people are getting good use out of this! Thanks!
