I don't know. I don't have anything to do with UBB since we upgraded to vBulletin.
Since I don't use their software, I could not really careless about it. I don't feel threatened by their release and I don't think Jelsoft should either. With Infopop restricting a user to PERL and flat files, I feel they are restricting their own companies growth and will either move into a modern infrastructure or ultimately drop UBB altogether.
My feelings are from the advancements of the demo board here and the fact that queries and database activity is being optimized which has time and time again been stated as being the last task before install and upgrade scripts were written. From the time I first logged into the demo (when it was unusable and chaotic) to now (very impressive product), I have seen version 2.0 mature and improve over time. Considering this is a re-write and not a simple upgrade, I applaud Jelsoft on the work they have done to the system. The speed increases provided by GZip and database enhancements alone provide enough incentive for me to leave InfoPop alone to play with their own toys.
