im a little disapointed, because all this means is that it will take longer for 1.1 to be final.

I'm not. Would you rather the devs rush the release of it or take their time to perfect it?

After reading this topic, isn't it time for a Beta/RC FAQ? Everytime the same...

JayBachatero · August 17, 2005, 04:51:43 PM

As far as current plans go, unless we decide otherwise, Beta 4 will be Charter Member only, and the next public release - as we said previously - will be RC1 after that.

I agree. It's like slackware, sort of. It's a secure, fast and stable linux distro. It's like this because everything in is the stable release and has been test quite a bit, versus a bunch of beta packages and the like.

So when it DOES come out, in theory, it will be as solid as can be. which I figure is worth the wait.

OK, a little jurgon now.
What makes the diff between a beta and the RC.
Is the only diff, that the RC is public?
Is RC a stable one or the phrase "upgrade on ur own risk" will be still valid?

I think Daniel is right

I think that the difference between a beta and a RC is that beta versions introduce new features and then once everything on the developer's "Feature wish-list" is in that version, the RCs come out which fix any bugs that appear.

That's what I think is right anyway, I'm probably wrong though

Chris Cromer · August 18, 2005, 11:03:36 AM

Well in the RC the features are frozen. No new features will be added, only bug/security fixes. Beta is considered bleeding edge. Chances are it could have bugs, although the team does try to make sure there isn't. Personally I think the beta's are pretty stable, but RC is even more stable than beta.

so what determines the number of betas and RC versions that are made?

Well, I don't think the final releases are every perfect (otherwise there would be no 1.0.5), but yeah, as close as can be

I don't know about you guys, but SMF has certainly exceeded my expectations when it came to the 1.1 beta's. it is now BEYOND phpBB...it always was...but now even MORE! Its hysterical!

It was always beyond phpBB.
The big bet is vB

Deaks · September 04, 2005, 06:06:22 PM

With every project you undertake you have and final date when everything has to be ready, bugs fixed and final product released, im guessing here at SMF you do the same thing, so I want to know when is your aim to have final of 1.1 out, a realistic date.

Chris Cromer · September 04, 2005, 06:09:56 PM

Usually they don't tell the public too far ahead of time when it will be released because then people get disapointed or angry if it misses the deadline they said before.

So I highly doubt your going to get a date. But I always could be wrong depending on if it's really close or not.
