vB 3.7 Beta 2 is Coming
 

I am happy to announce that (a little later than initially planned) we intend to release vBulletin 3.7.0 Beta 2 into the Members' Area for download during UK business hours this coming Monday (December 17th).

These past couple of weeks of having the 3.7 code running on vBulletin.com so that customers can test features in ways we might not have considered and provide feedback have been invaluable. My thanks to all who have participated. vBulletin 3.7 is a better product as a result.

Please note that Monday's release will be a beta version and all the usual caveats apply. There will be no additional support documentation and anyone who upgrades their live forum to run on beta code will do so at their own risk. If you are not prepared to apply updates on a regular basis or are expecting the whole system to function flawlessly, you would likely be better served waiting for the final, 'gold' or 'stable' release of 3.7.0 when it comes.

As you can see in the project tracker, the list of unaddressed bugs applicable to 3.7.0 is dwindling and hence the decision to do the release on Monday, but please do not stop reporting problems you find - the sooner a problem is identified and reported, the sooner it can be rectified.

Have a good weekend and we'll see you on Monday.

Awesome !

Damn, can't wait to install this. i hope most of my hacks working with that...

Don't forget to backup! I'll surely try it out.

Googd, so i can start dealing with the unaddressed bugs... i've been on vacations for too long.. lol

Interesting! That's good news. I can't wait for the final release of 3.7.0. :D

Chompin at the bit!!!

I can't wait to install it! I am incredibly pleased with the direction vBulletin is heading.

December 17th :up::up:

:D:up:

I predict a beta 3 will be out soon too :)

i ll be here !

Merry X-mas, FOLKS ! :)

sings "It's beginning to look alot like Christmas" :D

as soon as you put your fingers on the ?2, i suppose you will find a lot of bugs and correct them... ;)

looking forward to this release, and updating our systems

haha! .... Everywhere I go...

Jacquii.

Well, we're only 1 day away.

Hurrah! This is indeed good news! :D

so what time will this be available to DL in EST?

There is no specific time.

days are made of 24 hours, no matter where you are... if the guys there are releasing it at 23:59, you will have it at 18:59...

Is this a limited downloadversion or will it be the whole day available.

I mean, i work during the businesshours of UK, so i don't want to be late that the download is closed.

excited :D

Is there any way for you guys to move your entire operation to the west coast of the US in the next few hours so I don't have to figure out what time I can actually download the new release? It'd be much easier for me.

gee... i really like the album feature of 3.7.0 but I would like to see the "comments" pictures on it. :) it looks like vb.com give this job to vb.org :)

any word on a zoints tags converter?

Kier said Monday during business hours. So assuming that's like 9am-5pm, and calculating for the 5 hour difference in time from the UK to the East Coast -- I'd guestimate something like 5-7am EST maybe they'll put it up?

Maybe give 'em a few hours leeway to get awake and have Danny fetch them some coffee. :p

Awesome!

It's a bit after 4:30 am over there now. At least 4 1/2 more hours. The countdown begins. Why do I feel pathetic ? :)

It's not a limited download time. Once available, it's there to stay til an upgrade.

Ha ha, don't feel bad - if I didn't have to go to work in the AM, I'd be staying up refreshing the Member's Area. :p

HA, well now I don't feel bad! Actually there are a few members at vb.com who are doing just that, lol

If they are rigid about UK business hours then that generally means 9 a.m GMT
Just over an hour more and it may be ready for download.
07.50 a.m. GMT at the time of this post.

Nobody said it wil be released at the start of UK business hours.

..nobody said it wouldn't . lol

lol.

How long does it normally take for beta release to turn into a stable release? I love these changes but I'll probably wait for the stable version. How long do you think I'll be waiting?

today is monday

we are waiting

Too long?
Not long enough?

It is not possible to answer this question as it depends on the results of the Beta.

Hi guys, the vBulletin Staff is working on new project, please, be pacient and 3.7.0 is coming soon like they sad. Regards all.

That's why I said plus or minus a few hours for them to wake up and have Danny fetch 'em some coffee. :D
