when will the ipb 4.5 forum be ready ?

They wrote more than once that they are currently testing this version.
Be patient 🙂

Without betas?

No, there will be Betas and RCs. Sometimes they go straight to RCs.

They do not provide release dates.

I'm afraid there's no public release date available at this time. We are still wrapping up some things which you'll hear more about soon.

Why does this even matter and why are people asking? We don't really know what we're expecting with 4.5, there's nothing wrong with 4.4.x currently? I don't get it... As soon as people get 4.5 they will start to go on about 5.x.x.

I think that is because of the great features that have been added in 4.5. That is why some people are getting impatient imo.

Personally I think the updates go on too long, they started in November and 6 months later we've still not seen release or the preview site. Could have done with seeing it for ourselves especially during this time when there's not a lot to do. I don't visit here anymore I just sign up to the blog and release notes and get an email when there's some news it saves me some frustration at least. 😄

This is expected as this will be latest "medium" update before IPS5. We're gonna stay in 4.5 for a year or more so it's expected it has more new features than the other releases.

I do not think that 6 months is that long for a major release. And it will be worth the wait imo.

I mean the duration of updates. In the past I'm sure we've had 2-3 months of updates and then a preview site/beta release stage. But hopefully you're right and it is

The public preview will be coming very soon.
