Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted June 27, 200816 yr Hello, is IPB 2.3.5 the last version before the IPB 3.0 coming? Or do they still IPB 2.3.6 or 2.3.7 even before the IPB 3.0?
June 27, 200816 yr As of right now, we are diligently working on 3.0. We continue to evaluate the necessity for a point release, but the more time we spend on 2.3.x, the less time we have to spend working on 3.0. :)
June 27, 200816 yr Of course bfarber means that if lots of bugs arise or some security issues are found they will release a point release :P.
June 28, 200816 yr Well I personally think its quit logic that if there are enough of "important" bugs and/or security problems, there might be a 2.3.6... They are sure working on IP.B 3 but they HAVE to watch the current release that everything is stable etc... Basically if nothing serious would be reported then next stable release would be 3.0 I think! Regards, -Lone, W.
June 28, 200816 yr I'm not upgrading to IPB 3.0 until IPB 3.0.1 :-D (so most bugs can be fixed) It's always been the best choice like this... :) Especially if you have a large community!
June 28, 200816 yr Hopefully, the majority of the bugs will be fixed in the alpha and beta stages :) And then the public testing, there hopefully won't be too many issues in the final release.
June 28, 200816 yr Well basically the "first (new)" release ALWAYS has some bugs that can't be noticed unless you use it in a large & open forums... I mean any new release has bugs, there is no such thing (something without bugs) so people will wait before upgrading their live site... Personally I won't upgrade until 3.0... Unless & I repeat unless there is a serious security hole or anything... Cheers, -Lone, W.
June 28, 200816 yr I'll get a copy of 3.0 and remake my skins, then by the time I've done that 3.0.1 will have come along :D
June 28, 200816 yr I'll get a copy of 3.0 and remake my skins, then by the time I've done that 3.0.1 will have come along :D Exactly the best choice! Update all your stuff & once everything is ready 3.0.1 will be release, so just upgrade :)
June 28, 200816 yr Obviously I have no idea what the intentions of IPS are, but I think it will be installed here for more than 1 and a half weeks before a public beta.
June 28, 200816 yr Well I am not sure but most probably 2.3.6 will be released once enough work has been put into 3.0.
June 28, 200816 yr I think IPB 3.0 is at the beginning of many Bugs. Since it would be good if IPB 2.3.6 or IPB 2.3.7 as the last stable version would be released.
June 28, 200816 yr when ipb 3.0 is going to be launched?? i am eagerly waiting for this I believe they have said this numerous times around here. It is Q4 2008.
June 30, 200816 yr I'm not upgrading to IPB 3.0 until IPB 3.0.1 :-D (so most bugs can be fixed) I'm not upgrading till IPB 3.0.4 :O
June 30, 200816 yr I think IPB 3.0 is at the beginning of many Bugs. Since it would be good if IPB 2.3.6 or IPB 2.3.7 as the last stable version would be released. We said the same thing when 2.3.5 was released. Now it's 2.3.6. ;) And then it will be 2.3.7. Like I said before, the more time we spend on the 2.3.x series, the less time we are spending on 3.0. IF there becomes an issue or enough issues that we deem requires a release to correct, we will release one (security issues will always receive a patch, regardless). I don't really see the point in this question I guess. :unsure: If we need to release another 2.3.x version we will. If we don't, we won't, so we can spend more time on the next major release.
June 30, 200816 yr Announcement: The next release of IPB shall be a higher number than 2.3.5LMAO that gave me a good laugh. :D
June 30, 200816 yr It's always been the best choice like this... :) Especially if you have a large community! But also too if you really think about this, us clients and members are the main source to helping these developers weed out these bugs and errors. The more help we supply them, the faster and easier things would get on any versions.
June 30, 200816 yr Announcement: The next release of IPB shall be a higher number than 2.3.5 :lol: I likely won't upgrade for a while, way too many mods that will be broken. :(
