Tigratrus Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Thing is, I actually think they ARE a lot farther along than people think they are. If you take a good look at the info provided (esp in the Developer Channel blog posts), you can see that arguably one of the biggest parts (building the infrastructure/IPS 4 platform itself) IS already done. They wouldn't be working on applications at all until the platform itself was done. The plan as announced was essentially a total re-factoring of the platform that provided a common set of tools/functionality to be used to CREATE the apps. Maybe it's just me, but that pretty strongly implies that if they ARE working on apps at all, then the core IPS platform development must be essentially complete. This is further supported by the fact that Developer documentation has already been stated to be in progress. My money is on sooner than the community seems to think. But then, I'm well known to be an optimist, just ask my wife Susan. She likes to call me "Wally, the used car salesman" when I get going about how awesome new releases are going to be. :tongue: James (of James and Susan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midnight Modding Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Tigratrus, I don't know that anyone thinks they are "not" far along. They should be, by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 QA, testing, developer testing and public beta tests still need to be done before an official stable release is made. This process alone will take some time. It should take time to ensure all the bugs and kinks are worked out. So I'm almost 100% positive we won't be seeing an official release within the next two weeks. :tongue: But I do have some confidential information from an inside source saying that it could be released within the next three weeks.

PoC2 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I moved over from vBulletin 4. The approach Invision Power is taking is the right one. I'm finding IPB 3.4.x to be very solid and quite happy to wait until IPB 4 is out and demonstrably worth the upgrade effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pereira Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I would love to see some more narrated videos of the new features by Matt. Screenshots can only show so much and probably don't do 4.0 much justice. With videos we get to see the new features in more detail without IPS having to release anything. :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soniceffect Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Im hoping its released tomorrow, it will automatically upgrade my forum, skin and all my modifications without my intervention and that all further posts will be done by the power of the mind and a psychic link. Wont happen though, so for now I'm gonna set my expectations really low and say I only want it to be released in 300 x better condition of vbulletins latest. Although I know you guys will hit far higher than that :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adriano Faria Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I don't expect final version before june or july. They didn't start APPs yet... I read somewhere that they're working on Core and IP.Board now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bfarber Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 And Calendar for that matter. And the way the framework is set up, applications are not a ground-up experience each and every time. All of the components are reusable (want to support tags? Just "implement IPSContentTaggable" and that's all you have to do) so a lot of stuff that had to be handled manually and copied and pasted and so on before is just done by the framework automatically, where instructed. It's misleading to think about specifically which apps are done or being worked on, because 4.0 is designed to be a fully integrated suite and not just a basket of separate applications.
