Stable 3.7.0 Next Week

[vB.Org System]

As those of you who have been keeping an eye on the bug tracker will probably be aware, the frequency and severity of bugs being reported has dropped right off in the past few weeks, and I believe that it has reached the point where we should declare vBulletin 3.7.0 stable and do a final, 'gold' release.

vBulletin 3.7.0 Stable/Gold will be released in the coming week.

I do not anticipate the release of any further release candidates in the interim period.

Today, we will be updating vBulletin.com to run the final version of the code, and we will allow this to run over the weekend to get some final, extra uninterrupted testing done on a production site.

Needless to say, should you find more bugs over the weekend, don't hesitate to report them (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/project.php?do=issuelist&projectid=6&issuetypeid=bug) as soon as possible so that we can ensure that next week's release will be one of the best ever.

Until next week!

Nice one, I can't wait.

Such a promising release. :).

[trigatch4]

Thank you Thank you Thank you!

You folks do an amazing job and vB is worth every penny I pay for it.... every single time. I'm really excited for this as the custom mods/templates should open up the flood gates a bit once it goes "gold".

Cheers!

[Playa82]

[bxbigt]

[Lynne]

Oh wow. I've been waiting to update my test forum until 3.7 went Gold. I guess I'll be busy next week. :D

[Breathex]

Thanks for the good news.

[Henkou]

awesome, cant wait till gold, thanks

[kiril_cvetkov]

Yes, Yes yoooo :))) vbulletin 3.7.0 (stable) is coming

[cheat-master30]

Awesome news. I hope this then means there will be more modifications made for version 3.7, and maybe vB Blog updates?

[Datenpapst]

OK, then its time to update my license :)
Really looking forward to this :)

[Mr. Hoddz]

I still think we should all get vBlog free for helping with bug reports and buying vBulletin. Think it's a bit of a piss take that it's an extra, but that's my view!!

Can't wait for this to come to final Stable release... love it!!

[Jase2]

Mr. Hoddz, please mind your language ;)

I'm very, very happy to hear this news -- can't wait!

[RvG2]

finally... :)

[danielc2384]

If I update to 3.7.0 does that mean my template on 3.6.8 will go?

[iogames]

It makes me mad...

[Sothside40]

great news :)

[aberg]

If I update to 3.7.0 does that mean my template on 3.6.8 will go?
When you have upgrade you get a list of Out-of-Date Custom Templates.
This templates need to be updated or reverted.
If you don't do this some functions will maybe not work.
Updating is very easy because you can compare te new templates with your customer template.

[mastertek2000]

thanks I can't wait.

[KURTZ]

finally!!! :)

[soundbarrierpro]

Will 3.6.8 upgrade smoothly with 3.6.8 mods and approved hacks? As members, do we get the upgrade for free to 3.7.0?

[Tuga??]

Great news, keep up the good work.

[King Kovifor]

It depends on the hack. You would have to ask the authors of the modifications.

[PoetJA-1975]

'Bout damn time <_< Muuuuuuuaaaaaaaahahahhaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Jacquii.

[Ohiosweetheart]

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy!!!!

[Shazz]

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy!!!!

More work in updating skins ;)

[v12kid]

hoooray! now Shazz gets to do my updates ;)

[RC.]

great, good job..

[GameWizard]

What else can be said besides 'about damn time'? :D

[Jase2]

Yes, but I'd rather it be delayed longer, than to get instant bugs when it's released as 'stable' ;)

[Shaheen]

GOOD News

[King Kovifor]

They are testing it on vB.com before it is released to the public.

[anoopsoares]

Just got one litle question.

Wich i think most here can reply me on. They say we recommend php 5.xxx and mysl 5.xx does that mean that vB 3.7 will still run on older version. I thought i read it somewhere but before i screw myself over i wanted to ask.

Btw reason i can't switch that fast is due to restrictions from other forumboards wich don't run that well on mysql 5.0 so yeah.

If no one has an idea about it then i will just have to test it out and let you people know how it ended ^^

Otherwise just gonna split up my webaccounts. Just to enijoy the new release

Yes. The minimum requirements are still the same as 3.6!

[Almotmaiz.Net]

I can't Wait !!!

WooooW !!

[Jase2]

Yes, I know. Leaving it over the weekend, to find any remaining trivia bugs.

[Afterglow86]

That's great news. I, also cannot wait. =]

[nectons]

Great! I hope it is easy to upgrade! Thanks guys at vb you are doing great work!

[soulplayer]

Does this mean that Impex will be available? I want to clean my forum from the mods that are running now, and start with a fresh install.

[Marco van Herwaarden]

A new ImpEx version will probably be released shortly after 3.7 goes gold.

PS This means that it will probably be released within a few days to a few weeks.

[Skyrider]

Not wanting to be rude, but where's the update? The news was posted friday, and today (Sunday) the forums is still in version RC3.

As the update says, it will be posted someday this week. The announcement was not announcing the release of vB 3.7. It was just saying that they are doing final testing.

[prozac38]

waiting...:rolleyes:

[soulplayer]

?? in the coming week? So that's the week monday (21) to sunday (27)

[Jase2]

Someday this week. They tested over this weekend, to fix any remaining bugs.

[Skyrider]

I wasn't talking about that though. I was talking about:
Today, we will be updating vBulletin.com to run the final version of the code, and we will allow this to run over the weekend to get some final, extra uninterrupted testing done on a production site.

They haven't changed their forums to the final version yet:
Powered by vBulletin? Version 3.7.0 Release Candidate 3

While the news was posted 2 days ago.

[Lynne]

I read in the release thread over at vb.com that they are running the final version only they did not change the name in the upper right corner of the forums.

[Jasem]

Great news, keep up the good work.

[Shazz]

Next week is here :)

[indie2industry]

Next week is here :)

waiting eagerly

[Dabbi]

Thank you, I'm so psyched about this release, this is great news. :)

Will the manual be ready as well? I've found the one I've been using to be such a great help. :cool:

[Jase2]

They are running the final version of code. They just haven't updated the version number; until all bugs are fixed.

[Mum]

Ohhhh can't wait for this one!

[nexialys]

in my calendar, we are "next week".. so calm down guys, it is coming...

[user_not_found]

Great news, keep up the good work.

[myown]

when this next week will finish :)

[Lapsetur]

They did not mention beinning or end of "next week" ....

[Hornstar]

you may have heard that tomorrow never comes because it is always today. I wonder if the same applies to next week ^^

[Paul M]

Plans always change, it will come when it comes. :)

[nexialys]

if you read the announcement today, use the thread title as an indication... it will be NEXT WEEK... so it is not ready for this week, sure...

[Jase2]

What announcement today? Kier made the announcement on Friday, therefore it is this week. I aren't bothered when it's released, just as long it is bug free hehe.

Nothing is bug free. :)

[Jase2]

True, but by that I meant, no major or obvious bugs. ;)

[Paul M]

Not all bugs are obvious ;)

[Jase2]

I know that. Just bugs that a ton of users would report straight way. So far. So good for me running release candidate. Just hope 3.7.0 is as bug free as possible, which I have no doubt it will be :)

[almansoori]

This beautiful piece of news I heard this week

Good luck to all

[K8TEK]

Nothing is bug free. :)
A vacuum is!
