vBulletin 3.7 First Look!

[pheroman]

Look nice

[nokturno]

I'm already waiting 3.7

[gbml4u]

so..Continues using 3.6.x with fully great mods and support or try this totally new version 3.7.x ?

I had the same question for myself when VBB updated 3.5.x to 3.6.x...

but Great news

[CarlitoBrigante]

Terrific news! Scary for a developer, but great news indeed. They have added a lot of flashy features, but also a lot of truly necessary features that will make life of moderators and administrators much, much easier. Great job!

Sorry, but could someone post a rough estimate of when 3.7 will be released?

I realize that this question will have been asked many times on other threads but I don't visit vb.org as often as I used to and don't have time to trawl through all the threads I've missed.

Any hints or guesstimates would be much appreciated.

As always: When it is ready

Please don't ask about release dates. Once they are known they will be announced at vBulletin.com

I realize that, when most of the people who hang out at this forum worship the VB team as gods, it must be hard for you to remember that, in the real world, it is just not acceptable to be that rude to paying customers. That sort of attitude is more appropriate to ego-fueled FOSS projects.

I specifically asked for a "rough estimate", "a hint", a "guesstimate" and, as such, it should be possible for someone to throw us something along the lines of "possibly in Spring" or whatever without feeling that they have written anything in stone.

It was a reasonably questions and I am sure I am not the only person wondering the same thing.

Again, sarcastic answers such as "when it is ready" do not make you appear intelligent, they make you appear rude.

[Marco van Herwaarden]

You might see it as sarcastic, but it is not. It is the most realistic answer i can give.

[donnacha]

Fair enough, cultural misunderstanding.

Kier has said there is no back end change but yes the ajax addons may need updating.

3.7.0 will be released before the new year or maybe just after depending on beta/rc stages .

Me: My guess is this year is the beta/rc year. Stable will be out next year I would imagine.
Kier: No, sooner than that.
