When will we see IPB3?

[bfarber]

Because this has been asked over and over and over again, and we really don't need any more of these topics in our feature suggestions forum, I'm posting this one pinned topic so everyone can see it.

Q: When will IPB3 be released?

A: IPB3 is expected to be released, in final version, by Q4 (that means, before December 31, 2008).

Q: What features will IPB3 have?

A: Any features we've been authorized by management to discuss will be posted in our blog. We will be posting regular updates, and intend to start putting out updates a bit quicker in our blog shortly, but if it hasn't been announced there, either (1) it won't be included, or (2) we haven't been authorized to tell you that it will be. Either way, please do not post topics asking if suggestion xyz is going to be included in 3.0, as we won't be able to answer.


Q: When can I / Can I download the beta?

A: We do not know yet, and once we do we will let you know. As we are gearing for a release in Q4, it's safe to expect it will happen by, or during, the fourth quarter of this year however. ;)

Either way, posting in this forum to ask won't help. ;)

I hate to be a rude lady but that sounds like your saying this forum for suggestions is useless.

[Alex]

Asking isn't a suggestion though is it :P

[Rοb]

I thought this topic was yet another idiot asking about 3.0 without bothering to check the six million other identical threads... :P

Its more of, feel free to suggest but they won't tell you if its going to be there or not unless they already said it is going to be there. ;)

I'm sorry, I'm going to reword that sentence if it's causing confusion.

What I meant to convey was "please don't ask if suggestion xyz going to be included with 3.0". If we haven't already announced it in the blog, either it won't be, or we can't tell you if it will be. You can make suggestions, just avoid posting topics asking if your suggestion will be included, as we can't tell you. :)

[Amy T]

Oh that I fully understand. I would not ask if its going to be in it.
I just ask for it, I think I have 3 suggestions so far.

Any way thanks for explaining it.
Oh and I am not in a hurry for 3.0 and do expect it out before 2009. All the features listed so far in the blog do seem very amazing and I look forward to seeing it.

Keep up the good work.

Not me, I checked the topic starter first. ;)

Sorry if this is the billionth time this has been asked too, but when you say Q4 release ... Is that the first beta, or are you expecting the first RC by then? I don't think you could rush gold out that fast.

[Trialgan]

It's right there in the post:

A: IPB3 is expected to be released,[b] in final version[/b], by Q4 (that means, before December 31, 2008).

[Stallyon]

That's just crazy. That's barely enough time to beta test a minor version, let alone a major version. I think I will stay clear of the gold for quite a while.

[Lindsey_]

I can see how then can get gold out that fast. A few betas / rcs over 8 weeks :)

[Jaggi]

i saw the thread was started by bfarber so thought he was probably asking when ipb 3.0 will be out :P.

[93percents]

Do you have IPB.3.0.0 Screenshot ??

I want to look.

Thank You

Ohai W13, we're in direct competition, well not really but meh...

Anyway, it's nice to know it should be out before the end of the year, I'm eager to see the release. :)

A picture is not worth

a 1000 words.

It is when it's Lindy in a tiara.

Yep. :lol:

[^^MeX^^]

Yes it is..


For example, lets say you look at a sky picture, you think of blue, calm, relaxing, vacation, and so on and so forth, in other words, its worth more then a 1000 words.. ;)

[Jaggi]

what if you take a picture of 1000 words?

this one is nice:

That's just crazy. That's barely enough time to beta test a minor version, let alone a major version. I think I will stay clear of the gold for quite a while.

I don't think it's crazy, but I think the beta process should have started earlier just to be safe, even if the beta is not as far along as they wish.

[Lindsey_]

I think that 2 betas and 2 Rcs over 8 weeks will make a stable product.



(That is if everybody installs and reports all the errors :P)

[Stallyon]

Well, I'm not complaining! The quicker the better! I can beta test it on my new beta project, so that will work great! I wonder what versions of IP.Blog/Gallery we will have released too with IP.Board 3.0? I will be using both of them.

I just hope IPS isn't rushing it out because of the new upcoming vBulletin 4.0. I know they are squeezing out another minor version from 3.x series (3.8.x to be exact) in the next few months, and should roll out version 4.0 some time early next year.
