I just wanted to make a quick post about Invision Community's development over the next few months.

We had been working with almost weekly releases for a while as we bolted out of the gate with v5 and needed to be agile towards fixing bugs and improving new features. We fell into a "one week beta, next week release" cadence for a few releases as the new version stabilised.

Now v5 is pretty stable and maturing nicely.

Does that mean we're putting our feet up?

Our developers are developing, but I appreciate that you may have missed my bad puns and Gen X gifs, so here's what's coming up:

Invision Community 5.0.9: this will be mostly bug fixes with one new feature we're excited about. This should be released by the end of the month.

Invision Community 5.0.10: this will also fix some bugs, but will also contain another new feature we're very excited about and some really nice improvements to a specific area. This will be out towards the end of July.

We'll have some blogs on all the new stuff coming pretty soon.

We haven't forgotten about Invision Community 4.7 either. We're planning on a maintenance release at the end of the month also.

Exciting times ahead!

/Hopes for Opensearch 2.X fixes in 4.7

Honestly.. unlikely. That's the sort of thing we'll add to v5. We see v4 as maintenance for the most part now.

I’m extremely excited! Can’t wait to experience what the new features are!

Don't get too excited, it may be available for cloud customers only😂

Awesome. All I need is a working 2.3 Xenforo converter so I can finallY move away from a slow development and dying company.

@Cedric V I noticed a recent support ticket where someone explained that they had used 2.2 to upgrade and the only issue they seemed to have was with the PM system data. It could be worth checking out the support topics. Welcome back to Invision.

Problem is that I can't/don't want to revert back to 2.2 to convert. I haven't done it before, so I'm not sure if it's possible at all. But I'll see how it goes, going to test out some stuff and see what works best. Looking forward to get back into Invision.

I believe they took a copy of the 2.3 data and converted it to Invision using the 2.2 conversion tool. I don't think they went back to the 2.2 version, they just migrated to Invision using that option and tried running the script whilst on 2.3.

Can you perform a test? Take a backup, then use that data to migrate back to Invision whilst on XenForo 2.3, but choosing 2.2 in the migration tool.

Just wanted to fill in. I've imported from 2.3 to V4. It gave an error, that the table xf_rm_resource_feature was missing. I've just disabled the importing of the resource and it the rest all successfully imported. Will now be working on upgrading to v5 and getting everything setup.

Apologies to post this here, not sure where else to post it.

Where do we stand on converting support tickets to private topics? I can't convert my 2 sites because of this. Thanks
