SMF 2.0 Release Candidate 2 Public is out!

[steve51184]

so for someone like me with MANY mods updating (ever?) to 2.x is out of the question especially since most where done manually

[Arantor]

That's the great thing: most mods run smoother in 2.0. A LOT smoother in most cases; very rarely have to do a theme edit at all for many mod installations in 2.0 and it can install to non-default themes too, out of the box.

For instance if you want to edit the main menu; that's no longer index.template.php, but it's held in Subs.php instead, so it's globally available to all themes.

Have a look to see if your mods have been updated to 2.0 first. Many of them have - though it's still very early for RC2 as it's only just out.

BINGO!!

Unlimited Kisses for Simplemachines Team and every one who put their effort in making SMF 2.0 RC2

Thanks i was waiting for this since long long time 

[king kratos]

Awesome! Congrats team!

i already have SMF 2.0 RC1.2,do i have to do the same process as i did when i updated from 1.1.10 to SMF 2.0 RC1.2 ?

With RC 1.2, just download the small update package and upload all of the files and folder in it. select yes to overwrite any existing files. then browse to your forum url/upgrade.php.

Updating from RC1.2 to RC2 is as king kratos states, you upload the large upgrade package over the top of the older files.

[steve51184]

so how would someone (with lots of mods) update 1.1.10 to this?

he says small upgrade package and you say large upgrade package lol

[aldo]

Awesome! Great work guys... Working on upgrading now xD

[Nathaniel]

Wootcakes!

[TosTos]

Great, now we can start to release some themes for 2.0 RC2. We will have a surprise for you.
I love SMF. I think it is the best forum software now. I claim that people do not need a paid forum software to get the features of SMF.
Just support this beautiful script, and thank to the Developers. What can I say more?
Oh, yeah, I have just remembered. Do we Charters need to anything? There is no change between the Charters' release and public right?
Thanks,

[Dragooon]

Congratulations!

It is supposed to be large upgrade package, this release has a lot of changes to be valid for small update package.

so how would someone (with lots of mods) update 1.1.10 to this?

The large upgrade package will remove all your mods, although if you want to re-install them make sure they are 2.0 RC2(Not even some RC 1.2 mods work with RC 2) compatible or they have a 2.0 RC 2 version somewhere.

[steve51184]

and what will the small update one do?

[Arantor]

He says small upgrade, it should be the large upgrade.

You normally only use the small upgrade for small release changes (e.g. 1.1.9 to 1.1.10). This is a much, much bigger change.

[steve51184]

don't want to update if i lose my mods lol

what BIG changes are there?

[Arantor]

Apart from the new theme which rewrites just about every single .template.php file, there are NUMEROUS other changes in the code.

I would suggest you look at the mod site in the coming days; many of the mods you have probably already have a RC1.2 version handy and will likely get an RC2 version soon enough.

i am already on 2.0 RC2,that is why i asked for help on the upgrade of the small or big package.Was just wondering which to use

Thanks,

Any answer about this friends?
Thanks,

[vbgamer45]

There is a large number of changes from the charter version to the public version mainly bug fixes. You would need to upgrade to the latest version.

[Pentaxian]

Well done! Congratulations and surely jubilations too!
