What's new in SMF 2.0 Beta 4?

[metallica48423]

There will be RC releases.  It is unlikely we will see the final release by the end of the year.  Such is the reason why we do not like to give dates out.

Always expect a RC, we are not Microsoft or the MySQL team We don't release betas in place of finals

SMF uses MySQL so if MySQL is not final how can SMF ever be final?

That comment was in relation to this:

I don't think the developers here would ever leave a fatal bug not fixed when it came to releasing software.

Sweet I might upgrade soon. .

You wont be alone.

Well, when it comes to SMF, you are my senior, but I'm going to be blunt and say, umm... no.  See: SMF 1.1.7.  That was released only a month after 1.1.6, and AFAIK, only fixed one thing of significance.

[Fustrate]

So you expect them to fix an error that they didn't even know about when they released 1.1.6?

[spearfish]

Perhaps I spoke ambiguously.

I meant that as soon as they realized the error was there, they fixed it.  Instead of sitting around...

That is what YodaOfDarkness was saying. It might be a bit confusing because it is phrased a bit oddly.

I don't think the developers here would ever leave a fatal bug not fixed when it came to releasing software.

Essentially:

I think the developers here would never leave a fatal bug unfixed when it came to releasing software.

[spearfish]

That works

Yea, my comment could of used a grammar check. I blame my lack of physical sleep, which I can only blame myself for in the end.

I am 100% positive our developers would never leave fatal bugs such as the MySQL Development has. It is a sad thing, but reflects poorly on them if they where to do such as a thing. Just think of how many MySQL community members opinions have changed about their Dev team because of this.
Sadly as well, it is going to keep me from upgrading to MySQL server 5.1 for a while. I run on the latest 5.0 release, but I will let it wait a bit before I go to 5.1

Agreed it seems like the developer team is rather understaffed at the moment.  Its almost the end of the year and we don't even have idea of when RC1 will come out let alone final.  I'm saying things should be rushed but this is getting a little ridiculous.

[Fustrate]

...it'll work better next time someone says it... I heard 10,417 is a lucky number.

[S_M_F_is_Cool]

I saw a forum running "unreleased" 2.0 RC1
When will that be out?

I am running 2.0 Beta 4 and found it great, I can't find anything wrong with it but I have a pretty modified theme and have lots of options turned off i.e. calender .... as I just don't need them and I want it simple to use.

[metallica48423]

It is most likely a beta tester or team member.

There's still a few things the devs consider must-fix before RC1 is released.  I don't have a timeframe, but suffice it to say that the developers are getting more into the bugfixing mode

[tyhgdgh]

I think it was Nao's or Niko's Site.
When might it come out?

^{Some how, post 1000 on this board....}

[IchBin™]

When its ready, it will come out.

[Fustrate]

If you build it, they will come...

Yay for bugfixing
