Is it safe to download and use a more recen bad-behavior.x.x.xx.zip?

I'd argue with this.
Look at diff between 2.0.13 and 2.0.23: http://dpaste.com/hold/80665/
It contains only fixes and no schema changes.
Only file deleted was admin.inc.php and it is not included (at least in drupal 5.x branch).

At least it works fine for me.

i'm using 2.0.23 with no problems..

*Edit 11/21/08: no, i wasnt using 2.0.23 like i thought.. and when i upgraded to 2.0.25 logging stopped - but applying the patch posted below fixed it right up..

there is a change there that breaks the logging.

+	if (($settings['verbose'] && $settings['logging']) || empty($package['user_agent'])) {
 		bb2_db_query(bb2_insert($settings, $package, "00000000"));
 	}
 }

the settings array now contains the key 'logging' which prevents any logging unless it's set to true.

I guess the latest BB2 is working but you wont see any evidence of it as nothing will be logged.

While I'm at it, here a patch to fix this.

Thanks. found answer. Install of folders is confusing. See Improved Readme issue.
