Introducing SMF 2.0

[Gosu Schwarz]

Question: Once the beta is released to Charter Members and I signed up for the Charter Membership could I provide a domain with the beta installed for anyone to test it out?

[Daniel15]

TheBlackKnight, I think that's fine, but I'm not too sure.

To be safe you should wait for the public beta though. I am going to wait myself till the public beta to upgrade my public test site to 2.0

[Dragooon]

I think if you are a Charter member you should take this for your site but I think SMF for consider it illegal for distirbuting to ones who dont have Charter membership.

[Daniel15]

Dragooon, TheBlackKnight was not talking about redistributing it, he was asking about having the beta installed on one of his sites, so other people can test it out

[SleePy]

And as said it is probably best to wait for the public release so there is no conflicts or problems with a open test forum of a private beta with what TheBlackKnight wants to do.

Digg it!

BTW I seem to be missing a few words at the end of some sentences (using IE7). When replying to the posts, the missing words do show up.

It's a known problem with this new theme, and will be fixed soon

I did note the default theme is basically the same so is this planned for the end product ?  I believe the bots find it hard to index this

Hmm October.

October for a public release
June for a Charter.

Well there be a temporary beta/RC section (public) for SMF2.0 so it doesn't get put in with the current finals

[Gary]

I would imagine that for supporting 2.0 we will use the the same boards we have already. It was like that when 1.1 was RC and I dont see it changing for 2.0...

I just want to mention before anyone tries to hold us true to releasing SMF 2.0 for the June/October Charter Member/Public beta release date, please read the end of the post carefully.

Whilst we are not able to commit to a firm timetable for release of 2.0 we are hoping to get an initial beta in the hands of our Charter Members come June this year, with the first public beta likely to be around late October.

This is what we hope will happen but we cannot make a definite promise. In fact many people have criticized us in the past about not giving some kind of release date time frame, and if this estimate proves to be wrong and people show that they are upset we could just point people to the users' reactions next time someone asks why we didn't give a release date for SMF and even say that we didn't say the date was for sure either.

When it's ready its ready as I'm sure most will agree.  I myself wont be touching it till rc1 or 2

Sounds great - I'll have finished my exams in June, hence I'll probably buy a charter membership then (I can't wait to try out SMF 2.0 - plus many of its features are ones that I've wanted for a while). Hopefully it'll be stable enough for a busy forum?
