The most important thing now is to get RC2 Gold out to all users!

Everything else should take a back seat to that.

all the peoples they involved in the SMF 2.0 project worked hard to find out and resolve the latest bugs and mistakes. And .. I think it's better to have a 99,99% error free SMF as a quickly developed.

Hi there!

Look in the bug tracker. There are no more major issues, only the documentation. So the gold Edition is near. The only stopper until now is the transformation from LLC to something other. But I do not know which tasks there are needed or how long it will take.

But you are right: If the release is out there will be a great rush in this community. And they already said that some minor issues, not really worthy to talk about, will be solved after release. So it could be every day?
So long, Mike

I want to know that, too.

At the moment they are having some delays which is explained at this other thread.

Thing is, development isn't *bound* by that stuff - only release is.

If it were down to me, I'd have been working on the dev stuff in the background so that when the legal stuff is done, it's ready to go.

As it stands, nothing's being done *until* the legal stuff is done - which means that even after that roadblock is dealt with, there's still going to be a wait while 2.0 is finished...

I have read that topic several times, but I want to know what is the current state of development.

Translation: the developers have essentially abandoned the project until an unrelated task is complete.

No, I will not offer free downloads to Premium DzinerStuido themes. Please stop asking.

I was being nice, but for all intents and purposes it might as well be.

That's the thing. The legal matters do not block *development*. They block release.

As it stands, we're waiting for the legal stuff, then another few weeks minimum to clear up the 40 or so outstanding bugs + testing. The legal stuff has already taken months, it may well take more months yet - THEN you have a further delay while the actual development ends.

I don't really see what the problem is with doing the development, finishing it off behind the scenes so that come the legal resolution, release can just *happen*.

Things should not stop just because the license thingy is holding up. And what about new versions? visions for the future and all that? I know some stuff is brewing ;) but there's very little of PUBLIC topics to say "hey, we are the SMF team and THIS is what we like SMF to become.." Even a small visionary blog post now and then would be better than this silence.

Stagnant might be a good word for the current situation.
