SMF 2.0 Update Part V

<< < (7/7)

HecKel:
I didn't said that is lack of updates, but of news ;)

The last news about SMF 2.0 was this thread and was on 30th April, 2 months ago..., no new news..., we know that the Devs are working in a semantic theme but nothing else, we see a Beta 4 and we didn't get any news about it. This is what I mean about lack of news.

About SMF 1.1, I think that the step to 2.0 was too big, why not one 1.2? 1.3? And little improvements on 1.X when you work as well in 2.0?

@H, I have more comments but I think that I should do them in private, can I sent you one PM?

H:
2.0 is a bigger number jump than was originally planned but it was felt that the database abstraction warranted this change. This was quite a large development so I don't think future releases should have quite as large a gap.

Newswise on beta4 there aren't really any noteable changes just a lot of bugfixes :). Beta4 would've been out already but we're fixing some show stoppers so your experience isn't lessened!

I agree that even small improvements can be nice but it seems the majority of sites prefer less frequent updates which is why features from 2.0 are not officially backported :). The devs also thought they could save time by not doing this.

Feel free to send me a PM :)
