SMF 2.0 Beta 3 Public Released!

[青山 素子]

There is never a package upgrade between versions because of the enormous changes that take place. Likewise, there are no package updates for non-release versions. You must do a manual upgrade in these cases.

So cool!

When will their be a spanish version?

Thanks!

[Eliana Tamerin]

I believe language files are being worked on right now.

[FeniK]

Congratulations.

The update worked very well.

When it's ready. No specific dates are ever given.

I am encountering some errors in my forum which I feel may be the result of mods that did not install or uninstall correctly. If I were to upgrade my forum to the SMF 2.0 Beta 3 public since this upgrade supposedly cleans all your mods out will this also correct my forum so that it will no longer have these errors? Also what about the chat mod? is there any chat mod that will work for the SMF 2.0 Beta 3 public?

[Gary]

It depends on the errors you're getting, and no there's currently no chat mod available for 2.0 that I know of at least.

above are samples of repeated errors from error logs on my forum.

[Gary]

Well, if you were to go to 2.0 then you would stop getting those errors.

[Jenni Lynn]

Thanks I upgraded my board and will wait now to see if and when a chat mod becomes available for SMF 2.0

I'm trying to remember how long it was with 1.1 beta to 1.1 gold, we had three 1.1 RC releases inbetween, I have a feeling it was about a year   But I was using the beta and the RC releases with no problems during that time so they are quite stable

typo fixed

[Eliana Tamerin]

I thought it was 3 RC releases.

[perplexed]

darn typos, yes it should read 3 RCs, typo now fixed

If you want a demo of SMF 2.0 running on a user site, come check my site out as it is running on my home server.

Click This Link to visit it.

If it doesn't load up at first, press reload until it does. I'm working on the server today.

It doens't load the first time now either.

Just wondering, since I don't see any obvious changes, is there any list somewhere easy otainable about the difference between version 1 and 2.

Great work (I'm sure of it)!

changelog.txt, see the download section.

Wow, some night reading. I'll guess I'll find out when I upgrade. Version 1 has been great so far compared to phpBB2. I have had  big problems with spammers but now they are gone.

[Eliana Tamerin]

SMF 1 to SMF 2 is primarily a backstage upgrade. Database support has increased, admin and moderator features are on par with the market leaders, and key features such as post moderation and a warning system have been integrated. Users won't see much of a change, but the new version also opens up many more possibilities for mods, such as YodaofDarkness' Advanced Reputation System, which is a great improvement over the built-in karma. And it's very obvious to users as well.

[peranders]

Thanks for the info. Right now my members behave but it's good to have good moderation features.

Just wonder: www.diyaudio.com has a good feature regarding email and how to keep it hidden but still use it.

Noone can see an other members email address. If you push the email button YOUR email address will always be revealed but the reciever can choose, either to keep his address hidden and send a message back or let it be revealed. Is there a similar way in SMF 2? phpBB had the email exposed in clear text and was a Christmas day for spammers.
