"Development Edition"

[anunlike]

I suppose I'm being impatient and premature with this, but I have to ask ...

What's the deal with "Development Edition"? What makes this Development Edition different from 1.1 RC 2?

[Harzem]

There are new feautes around here now But at this moment, they are still being added. I think it will be complete in a few hours at most.

[Deaks]

this is a next version it has a large update from RC2 no-one knows if this is final or not

[Grudge]

This is titled as a "Development Edition" as it contains some code which is from the next version of SMF (After 1.1 Final). We don't want people getting excited about anything new they see thinking it will make it into 1.1. 1.1 is feature frozen as of RC2, anything you see here that is not in RC2 will not be in 1.1 Final.

To answer the obvious question of why are we running a future version of SMF here already - simple - testing. We've already changed a lot for the next version of SMF and keeping it under test by running it here is a great way to catch bugs early and/or see how it performs under heavy use.

Thanks clears some things up. I was going to say I saw some new features in this edition but its for next one. Still cool.

[uberjon]

so does this mean that 1.1 final is very close?

[Gary]

I detect an update soon, either 1.1 RC3 or Final, we dont know.

I did see one thing earlier, but it appears to be gone.

Thanks for the clarification / explanation.

There was a moderators CP which I saw, its gone now. but I'd assume its there for the SMF crew. :p

Buddy lists are a 1.1 feature.

[Gary]

^ Yeah, but it was never displayed like that.

[JshLnsctt]

Also they are doing something to the PM system because I get an error when I try to send PMs

[Gary]

He's right, I just tried to send one to myself and I got:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function parseWikiLinks() in /*******/Sources/PersonalMessage.php on line 1300

Mod Note: Edited to remove folder list on error...

[JshLnsctt]

I have been getting that error for a few minuteds now

[Thantos]

Alright all it should be fixed now.  It wasn't a problem with the new version but with a mod we have on the site.

[anunlike]

So, are most of the new features for staff as opposed to regular members, such as post moderation and the like?

[godboko]

Sounds very interesting glad to see things moving forward keep up all the great work.

I've catched it also. It was for post moderation. It gave an error when I've clicked it, now it's gone.

You can see the blank error by clicking <SNIP -- lets not post team links!>

And also we have calendar now I don't remember it there before, maybe I was a bit unaware
