We have released the beta 1 version of SMF v2.1.
This means that people are going to install it.

That is excellent. We appreciate everyone who installs the software -- most especially during the beta phase, because - although we have been testing the alpha version for a while, and fixing the issues that we discovered, wide spread use in many different environments is certain to expose things that need adjustment. That's what Beta versions are intended for!
A few things that you should keep in mind, though.
- We do not recommend that you install 2.1 beta 1 into a production environment. As a matter of fact, we actively recommend that you do NOT do that.
- We have opened this board for people to discuss questions and issues with the 2.1 installation and upgrade.
- This is a beta... that means that there ARE still "bugs". We know that. This means that we may respond to your question or report with "yes, that is a known issue".
- We are NOT taking "feature requests" for 2.1 in this spot. There is a separate board for those requests.
- As always - THERE WILL BE NO DATES DISCUSSED.
And once again, thank you for participating in the beta testing and the overall process of helping to make the next version of SMF be an incredible product.
