Energizer Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 When does IPB 2.1.4 come now, then? Please, they keep us informed ...
Minos Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 Soon to be released, it's in QA testing currently.http://forums.invisionpower.com/index.php?...26&bug_cat_id=9
BioX Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 When does IPB 2.1.4 come now, then? Please, they keep us informed ... Yes, I would also like to know when it will come out.
.John. Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 Should be out on Monday or Tuesday, I believe...
Logan Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 Yes I agree, it's been in QA for a week or more, so early next week should be the date. It won't be thursday or friday as Brandon said he doesn't like making releases late in the week as then staff leave for the weekend and people are stuck waiting for support.
rct2·com Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 That isn't long to fix the 9 unfixed, confirmed bugs, the confirmed skin bug, the 6 unfiled bug reports and the 4 reports awaiting feedback AND then build the new distribution, the readmes etc. Don't hold your breath.
Energizer Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 I am sorry that I shall buy licenses but don't get exact information about planned Updates...
.John. Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 Updates aren't planned, if everything would go perfectly - there wouldn't be any point releases. They are done as necessary, and once a satisfactory about of bug fixes were completed - the version is released. 2.1.4 is in fact done right now, just undergoing testing to ensure no issues when released. Nothing in the software world is certain.
zer02 Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 Glad to see IPS is releasing updates fast like this and fixing many bugs. Way to go IPS. :) EDIT: Hehe... 5th post lol that is not good at all if it goes so quickly.. for me that mean that IPS only wants to make money by quickly releasing all stuff and doesn't look at the quality.. <_<
.John. Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 lol that is not good at all if it goes so quickly.. for me that mean that IPS only wants to make money by quickly releasing all stuff and doesn't look at the quality.. <_< How does IPS get more money by releasing more point releases? Also, for your information - IPB has the least amount of point releases out of any of the big players... vBulletin is on 3.0.10 (For their 3.0 Series) phpBB is on 2.0.18 (Yes, 17 Point Releases) The highest IPB has ever gone is 3 in 2.0 to 2.0.4, and while it's obvious 2.1 will have more than 3 - it won't be too much more. I anticipate 2.1.5 or 2.1.6 to be the last.

If so, how could you think that? :huh:
bfarber Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 If all goes well, 2.1.4 may be the last of the 2.1 series. I/we can't say for sure how it will play out, but there haven't been any HUGE bug reports submitted since 2.1.4 was sent to QA. The bugs that HAVE been reported could be included with 2.2 or 3.0 or something, who knows? Really, honestly, I don't even know how that will pan out at this stage. ;) I know everyone who wants the release would like to get it now, but we really want to make sure there are no issues when it IS released. Don't expect the release at any time. There will be an announcement when it is available. It's very hard to say if it will be released this week or not. If QA doesn't finish until Wednesday, as Logan said earlier, that puts us at releasing a (large) point release late in the week on a holiday weekend....if there are any issues, everyone would be off until Tuesday of next week. It may be released this week, it may not. Everyone will be informed when it is. :)
princetontiger Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 I had a dream we went from 2.1.3 to 2.1.11. Weird, I know.
.John. Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 I didn't think there was going to be a 2.2...
William R Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 How does IPS get more money by releasing more point releases? Also, for your information - IPB has the least amount of point releases out of any of the big players... vBulletin is on 3.0.10 (For their 3.0 Series) [b]phpBB is on 2.0.18 (Yes, 17 Point Releases)[/b] The highest IPB has ever gone is 3 in 2.0 to 2.0.4, and while it's obvious 2.1 will have more than 3 - it won't be too much more. I anticipate 2.1.5 or 2.1.6 to be the last. phpBB 2.0.x Series has been out for 5 and a half years. Keep that in mind. And its free. You shouldn't really compare a free product to a paid product. I'm sure you will know why.
xQuarkDS9x Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 Well, unless 2.1.4 comes out by 9pm tonight or at the very latest Wednesday - then I guess 2.1.4 won't be out this week.
Logan Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 I'd rather wait longer for IPB 2.1.4 while having the latest bugs fixed. Since Brandon said this might be the last release until 2.2 or 3.0 it would be best to fix existing bugs and as many as possible up until the release date.
bfarber Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 The problem with doing that though, is we would have to send the newest build (with the additional bug fixes) BACK to QA to retest. Who knows if I may have broken something else fixing the latest reported bugs (i.e. the pm popup window :rolleyes: ). Unfortunately that would just put is in a loop. 2.1.4 is essentially "frozen" and once it is cleared and Management is ready to put it up, it will be released. The other minor bug reports that have been confirmed, will not be making it into 2.1.4 most likely.
smallblockfuelie Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 Why? They dont want to release it on a weekend where there is noone around for customer support in case there is a problem.

Well hopefully there is a 2.1.5 (never gone past x.x.4, break a record!) as I would imagine 2.2 and 3.0 are quite far off and there are still quite a few issues, with more coming in daily. With that news though, I bet we'll see 2.1.4 this week. Or at the latest, next tuesday or wednesday.
Energizer Posted December 28, 2005 Posted December 28, 2005 I think if no ipb 2.1.4 comes tomorrow. it then doesn't come any more 2005...
.John. Posted December 28, 2005 Posted December 28, 2005 I think if no ipb 2.1.4 comes tomorrow. it then doesn't come any more 2005... I heard it was supposed to be released yesterday or today, but to eliminate any problems with support and upcoming holiday weekend - it was pushed back again another week...
