Warzone Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 I dont like betas or RC's :) they make me angry and unhappy, and my website just get a make over by the RC screw up police...so, i will wait for the final...^^next year....maybe...
Strike X Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 IPB2 feel like Windows XP - very stable IPB3 feel like Vista with a lot of bugs. IPB 3.1 feel like Windows 7 - very stable(you never know....) :P

chasz Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 well the good thing about web scripts is that there is no need for recompiling....so there should nt be delays if a batch of fixes can make a product better. updating scripts is overriding old files.. RC2 please LOL
The Pi Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 [quote name='chasz' date='27 May 2009 - 07:13 PM' timestamp='1243466034' post='1805732'] RC2 please LOL Why? Because you made a post about overwriting files? :P
bfarber Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 Please read the announcements in full. We publicly stated there *would* be bugs in the RC releases and you should only upgrade if you felt you could handle the bugs until they were fixed (by/in the final release). We release betas (and release candidates) for a reason. It's to find and fix issues that we did not come across ourselves. With so many people using the software in so many different configurations there are always bound to be issues we simply didn't encounter, and that's why pre-final releases are done. Long story short, we're not going to rush RC2 because RC1 has some bugs. Nor will we rush final because RC2 WILL HAVE BUGS. We're going to continue working to make the software as stable as possible so that the final release is as bug free as we can get it.
OrahChris Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 RC and BETA's are sorta like Twinkies, We know we shouldn't eat them, but we do then get fat and think, well it was a short enjoyment and now I need to work my butt of to loose weight. Maybe a bad example, but either way we laugh we cry we smash keyboards (or at least I do) and it just brings us closer as a community don't you think? Ahh a tear to my eye. Either way I love IPB, I could never go back to PHPBB *shudders* New Fanboy here for sure :D Speaking of bugs, has anyone noticed the pip images are missing on this board?

Suffice it to say, that date is not "1-2 months" away. But we'll see how things go in the tracker before making a final decision. Why do these topics always come up right after a release? :rolleyes: So it's more like 3-4 months away? just kidding
Carl M Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 Well the skinning competitions now been 'extended' to the 15th June so i think they are going to be pushing it for final by the end of June. Wonder if it will be extended again due to popular demand :P :)
bfarber Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 I think you guys misunderstood the skinning competition. The winning skin from the skin competition is not likely to be included with 3.0.0 final. It will most likely not be included with IPB until 3.0.1 or later. We are not basing the release of IP.Board 3.0 on the results of the skin competition. :)

I could have sworn I read at one point it was going to be shipped with IPB3 as a secondary skin? :blink:

bfarber Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 I'm not positive. All I know is that we are fully aware it's not likely to be included with 3.0.0 due to time constraints.

All I know is that we are fully aware it's not likely to be included with 3.0.0 due to time constraints. Thats understandable. I never thought at one moment that IPS were basing any releases on the skin competition. Hopefully Rikki or someone can give us a bit more information on whats actually going to happen with the skin after the 15th / Judging period. :)

LOL release RC2 for the wekend and all is forgiven ;) plus remove javascript parsing for bbcodes LOL
chasz Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 secondary skin thingie the skins function isnt working in RC1 so makes sense LOL
Lee Craven Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 When was the date for the skin competition changed? I thought it was June 1st?
Smokey-Rev Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 I'm in no hurry for 3.0.0, perfectly fine on 2.3, have a big modification i'm having coded at the moment so i'm probably gonna stay on 2.3 for a good while before going to 3.0.0 even after it goes final. :)
