Hi all,
As most of you will undoubtedly already have seen, SMF 2.0 RC2 has been released to our Charter Members about an hour ago.
It's been a few months since the release of RC1, but loads of bugs have been fixed since. It's not just bugs that delayed the release, though: RC2 boasts our brand-new Curve theme, featuring rewrites of all SMF's templates and of course a slick new look. :D
For those not familiar with our preview releases system: after our Charter Members have had their go at it, and no blocking bugs appear, 2.0 RC2 will, of course, go public. :)
I would like to take this opportunity to thank our Charter Members for their continued support for SMF!
Thanks,
Aaron
It's about time ;)
Good work, devs!
Awesome!!!! Its Party time!!
Yay! :) Did Charters receive Curve as well?
Yes -- Curve comes as "Default" with RC2, and the 1.1 default theme as "Core"
Thanks ;) I've been wandering for a long time!!
Looks Good believe me 8)
well done devs :)
Good work everyone :)
Congratulations to the entire team on this; it's been a long journey :)
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OOooh, time for some numbers!
Between 2.0 RC1 and 2.0 RC2 (for charters), we logged 831 changelog entries with 554 of those being reported and fixed on our bug tracker.
What a release :D
Good work devs / testers / graphics artists! :D

The team is working hard on getting RC2 out as soon as possible, in the discussion boards a lot of discussion is taking place on bugs, Curve and optimization. So in short, when its ready. I won't expect a huge delay but I don't know when it will be done(And as a matter of fact, no one does).
I fully understand why the standard answer is "when it's ready" but would appreciate an indication of likely timescale for release. I'm currently working on a totally new website and forums (converting from phpBB2) which is due to go live around Jan/Feb next year. If SMF 2 is released I'd like to go with that from the start rather than upgrade later (the Curve theme will work perfectly for me so it means I don't have to mess about with other themes in the interim). How likely is it that SMF2 will be ready for a live site by then?
We can't give you a timescale, it is ready when it's ready.
That said, RC2 should not be too long - though only the devs can make the call as to when that will be - and RC2 is pretty usable already (since we use it here)
