Introducing SMF 2.0

[nitins60]

And what about openID integration?

Feature requests belong in the feature request board, but it is in discussion. Maybe as a mod though.

it would be better as default feature

[Thantos]

OpenID is something I want to add.  It is something that I will add.  However I don't know exactly when it'll make it in.  I'm hoping for 2.0 but I can't make that promise.

[Harro]

OpenID as in this one: http://openid.net ?

[Joshua Dickerson]

Yes, the one and only.

[trecool999]

Yay!

Thanks to the SMF Team for making my dreams come true... again...!

[kerrang!]

Great news.

I can't wait! The new smf theme is looking quite nice too. Good work to all those involved in smf, it's quickly becoming better and better.

So kudos,

Great news!
You are always impressing us with your job.
With a first look I believe that one of the most important features added
as far as the simple user is concerned is
the mouseover dropdown menus, something that has been requested many times.

Moderation center seems very functional and practical.

Can't wait for a public release to test it

OpenID would be very nice, but I'm not sure how hard it is to integrate.
I use OpenID myself, and I used to have it enabled on my blog via a WordPress plugin (but didn't reinstall it when I upgraded... I really should reinstall it )

Any chance of ever getting a User CP kinda like VB? That is the only thing my members seem to complain about.

What can they do in a user CP that they can't already do?

Well you can hit User CP and it shows your subscribed thread, I dunno it just looks cleaner.

FTR I LOVE SM!!!

It isn't easy. Takes a lot of code to integrate it.

Didn't have time to read all 20 pages, but from what I see looking around - 2.0 is fantastic. I eagerly await the time I can upgrade both of my forums to SMF2. The new features are great and it looks awesome. I won't even need another theme for it!

Althoug OpenID s difficult to code, but it's features are outstanding! You can't compare both of them! Can you?

It's only one additional click to get that info in SMF (Profile -> Notifications)...

[Aaron]

Well, now that we have these dropdown menus, it'd be easy to add "Notifications" to the Profile dropdown menu.

Hmmm, that might be a good one to have by default.  Not sure 100% though.

โอ้โห ขอบคุณมากๆ ครับ
Very very thanks! 

(I hope to see a new icon.)

I am not saying that it isn't awesome. I am in full support of it. I think the entire team can agree with that statement. What I am saying is that it requires quite a bit of code and support for it isn't as easy as dropping in a file.

[navjotjsingh]

Hey I was so desperate to test that I signed up as charter member just now just to get 2.0 earlier!!

[Thunderace]

Looks fantastic guys .. well done!

Can't wait to take a look.

[Defiant]

How long does it usually take from the first beta to get around to RC.  12 months, 24 months etc ?
