Looking forward to all new vB5 Mods!
 

Can't wait to get to work on vB5 and see what others are creating!

Got a lot of work ahead of us porting our favorite mods!

Are there people out there who already have vB 5?

I saw quite a lot of vB contributors bashing the software (vB5), so I'm going to assume that a lot of them are not going to be developing mods for this version until later on.

I'm sooooo tempted to buy VB5, put up a test forum and play around with it.

But my wife would kill me :D Too much going on right now to spend money on web software:(

I'd love to see how is working with vb5, but it's too much monet for just a buggy beta so i'll wait 'til the final version. I don't know any developers that have already vb5

I'm having issues installing/upgrading an old database for testing at this time.
Things have changed and it is a little confusing. Will take some time for things to come out and everyone adjust to the new ways.

I have vB5 already. My website: Click me for the site

The alpha test customers have had vB5 and the new extension system doco for a while now.
Some mods have been written.

As vB5 is now public it can be said:
a) The new extension system is 100% OO and nothing like the plugin system in vB4
b) there are new template hooks that can call the API
c) The SQL I/O is now abstracted and is different, so presumably other databases can be used besides MYSQL
d) It will take a fair time for add-ons to catch up, the structure of vB5 is different and makes a lot of add-ons redundant, but creates a need for new ones
e) The new system has an auto install feature

There is a bit of learning curve ahead for all of us.

vB5 is early beta and needs a lot of work to be production ready.
Be patient!

There are quit a few coders that already have vB 5. And as ricktas said, a few mods have already been written.

Personally, my Raffles mod is for the most part done but there is one more thing that needs to be worked out before release.

looking forward to your Raffles mod being released for VB5, it was popular for my VB4 site
