Does this also mean you can install more hacks at the same time without having conflicts?

Some hacks want you to edit things en other hacks want you to edit the same.. And then it's up to you what to edit.

unfortunately there still may be conflicts, some plugin code may interfere with others plug-in code.

The idea is that hacks don't need to make file edits anymore, or less.

Time will tell if we can really make it work like that.

I guess programmers can insert their own hooks, but that´s just a guess...

There will always be the need to modify an existing section of vBulletin code, but this as I understand it will reduce that from almost every hack to only a handful

Some hacks can be done that way now without modifying the files. I was able to rewrite the template compressor and microstatus hack to work from the templates preventing me from having to rehack my board when I upgrade it.

I haven't been in the community that long, so I'm curious about how long a beta period normally is?

I'm trying to decide whether it's worth hacking my board now, with the 3.0.7 hacks, then rehacking it with the 3.5 stuff, or if I should just wait. I can wait like a month, but I think I'll hack it if I have to wait for 3 months.

What's the normal beta period + major hack release cycle?

It usually varies on the time of the Jelsoft Development team... They stated that if all goes accordingly, a public beta in early June. The beta may last anywhere from a week, or a couple, to a couple of months. My advice to you is if you're just going to install a few easy modifications, then theres reason not to; but keep in mind with this new system that it'll be a few months (maybe longer) after this new system comes out for modifications to be ported to work with this new version...

If you don't need modifications for - I'd say a good couple of months, then don't bother, but if you can't wait that long then go ahead and get modifying and don't upgrade until all the modifications you need are ported to the new version.

Only time will tell.

you can go directly from any 3.0.x to 3.5.x

personally i'd ay hack away, Jelsoft are no long reknownd for meeting their own deadlines.

besides if you're like me and have LOADS of hacks installed it will be a long wait till they're all converted to 3.5-ness.
