Posted February 15, 201510 yr More than 6 pages of pending bugs. And a lot of already fixed bugs. Should we wait Beta 9?
February 15, 201510 yr More than 6 pages of pending bugs. And a lot of already fixed bugs. Should we wait Beta 9? In 1 day, they can fix more then 3 pages so nearly 100 bugs in my opinion we can see Rc1 this thursday...
February 15, 201510 yr Charles was in charge ( I recall the "Charles in Charge" series ) all day yesterday categorazing the bugs. I believe they are pushing hard to release an RC soon..
February 15, 201510 yr May be some reported (bugs) aren't really bugs or very minor bugs, so they wait fixing these bugs at the end...
February 15, 201510 yr You have to bear in mind it is the weekend so there are less members of staff around, developers especially.
February 15, 201510 yr I expect IPS to make massive in roads to the reported bugs (major, rather than minor) and then package RC together or if any of those bugs require IPS to put another beta together then so be it.I would rather see a stable RC release, resulting in a quicker release version than have several RC versions.
February 15, 201510 yr It will be ready when its ready, I would sooner them hammer as many bugs as they can before releasing an RC product riddled with them.
February 15, 201510 yr I'm being both patient and impatient at the same time. I'm patiently waiting for the RC, but at the same time I'm rather impatient that so many of these show stopping bugs pop up on even a fresh install that should never get out of Q/A. We're beta testers, not Q/A people.
February 16, 201510 yr Beta 9 pretty much confirmed now: http://community.invisionpower.com/topic/407283-include-external-file-in-template/?do=findComment&comment=2524526 It's all good, I'd rather they take their time and release a stable and solid final version.
February 16, 201510 yr But the next version beta 9 or rc? Beta 9 pretty much confirmed now: http://community.invisionpower.com/topic/407283-include-external-file-in-template/?do=findComment&comment=2524526 It's all good, I'd rather they take their time and release a stable and solid final version.
February 17, 201510 yr Looking forward to B9. Have to keep checking the client area though without the blog posts announcing the beta releases any more. And yes I just checked
February 17, 201510 yr I really hope we see RC1 this week but whatever IP staff decides, I'm sure they are keeping our best interest in mind. It's so close now...... I can taste it. (kind of taste like pizza)
February 17, 201510 yr I wonder why a company like IPB, cannot produce a new product in a logical time, and is been more than two years waiting for IPB 4Other forum software have more tight timetables (free and paid) Why?IPB going to be Vbulletin?
February 17, 201510 yr Although I am new to IPB, I know SMF for years. The only thing they could release for years was security updates and lately a Beta1 in November which is still there while IPB have come from Beta2 to almost Beta9 or RC1..I am too impatient for a release asap but still I prefer a stable one even if it is a bit late..
February 17, 201510 yr I wonder why a company like IPB, cannot produce a new product in a logical time, and is been more than two years waiting for IPB 4 Other forum software have more tight timetables (free and paid) Why? IPB going to be Vbulletin? You have to bear in mind that it is all completely new code rather than re-factoring previous versions. Also there's all the official applications as well to account for, rather than just a forum application... FWIW from a personal standpoint I see a lot less issues (and more features) here than with the latest VB they have "over there" on their site and that's had a lot of releases. Its also not been that long relatively since IPS4 was shown either really.
February 17, 201510 yr IPB going to be Vbulletin?Its the opposite. Vbulletin released a stable release while it was still a beta.Invision is making sure the stable is truly a stable.
