Sonya* Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I know that no certain answer will come from IPS. 4.0 will be ready when it is ready :D However, all applications and third-party modules will be broken with IPS 4.0 I have to plan my costs right now. Is it worth to develop apps right now and buy apps and skins? What about very very rough time table? :unsure: Are there months, years till 4.0? 2013 or definitely not? It would be really helpful... Any guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrej Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I would wait. I smell 4.0 already (but when..?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriano Faria Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 No, no... Probably we won't see 4.0 before the end of this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonya* Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 I smell 4.0 already. You must have a good nose. :D Probably we won't see 4.0 before the end of this year. This is what my guess also was. Just wanted to hear your opinions. Even when 4.0 is released I would not go with it till 4.1 or 4.2. And it is another portion of time from 4.0 to 4.1...

Aiwa Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Just because 4.0 is released doesn't mean you would need to upgrade to it immediately. I would venture a guess that we will see 4.0 by the end of the year. Likely sooner based on the full featured blog entries showing new functionality. If you mean 4.0.1 or 4.0.2, those will likely come in the couple weeks after 4.0. If you truly meant 4.1 or 4.2, we're talking years till you see those major versions... That's like saying you were going to wait for 3.4 when 3.2 came out. EDIT: pure guess, I know nothing more than you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriano Faria Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 If IPS repeats what was done on last big releases, probably in October/November will see Betas and RCs around here. Final version some days before Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonya* Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 If you truly meant 4.1 or 4.2 Yes. I meant 4.1 at least. I try not to use X.0 versions in production at all and think that those X.0 should become mature first... :D Looks like I can plan my costs with IPS 3.X and do not fear that I spend a lot money right before a new version is available :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriano Faria Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 The problem on big updates like that is that EVERYBODY wants ALL hooks/apps upgraded in one week, in order to upgrade their boards. So I'd wait till 4.1 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonya* Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 The problem on big updates like that is that EVERYBODY wants ALL hooks/apps upgraded in one week My hope is that IPS will provide a good developer documentation on every topic of how to port applications to 4.0 with ease :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MathewC Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I'm looking forward to the update to 4.0 yes it'll be stressful for developers to relearn sections maybe, but it's going to be fun! :P Also not everyone updates either, so making applications for 3.4 will still be used even though 4.0 will be out. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonya* Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 Also not everyone updates either, so making applications for 3.4 will still be used even though 4.0 will be out. Sure. But the developers' "radio" sounds so good and consequent that I would rather develop for 4.0 than for 3.4 :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob van Leeuwen Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Final version some days before Christmas. I personnaly dont agree with you, since Christmas, 31th december and 1st januari are also free days, that will probably if we follow you beta schedule after the new year.
