[Psionic Vision]

heh, heh... I noticed the updated top right even before you posted the announcement. Good job.

[TygerTyger]

The "Admin Attention" box is terrific. I'd like to see good use made of that.

[loonytune15]

nice to see we have hit the RC part of the release program. Almost time to update the forum then.. :D

[Stephen3]

cool, so fast rc1 already :)

[McDaniel]

Keep up the great work. I will be watching until we go gold :D

[Greg-SHT]

Very fast releases recently. Keep up the great work :D

[joeychgo]

The "Admin Attention" box is terrific. I'd like to see good use made of that.



Agreed. Is this a feature which VB can send us messages or do they only occur during upgrades?



Installed on vBulletin FAQ (http://www.vbulletin-faq.com/forum/)


So far so good. Thanks Guys.

[Ohiosweetheart]

WOW, that was fast! I think I'm just about ready to upgrade my live forum now.

[GamerzWorld]

Its so close I can almost smell it :P

[Darkblade]

Well done on the release date, it was kinda quick you know. Gotta upgrade my forums right away...

Thanks Jelsoft! :)

[I-Web]

On my way to upgrade:cool:

[EdQ]

Sweet I am already upgraded. :)

[mcipdns]

I've already upgraded as well.

I notice the Allow Signatures option was disabled. Is this the only somewhat major change since Beta 4?

Can't wait for gold..although I'm already live anyway. ;)

[Tungsten]

Upgraded and working nicely.

[Zelda-King]

Nice job, team! :)

[Fusion]

Nice work. I'll do my test-board asap

[ubuntu-geek]

Upgraded no issues...

[King Kovifor]

This mans that our site is one step closer to being able to be updated to vB 3.6.0... We have it and it crashed so... we downgraded for the time being. At least until this went gold!

[Chousho]

Crashed during a beta release? Which one?

Anyway, I'm really excited! This means that I can soon upgrade worry free! Woo~

[j883376]

You may all call me stupid, but I wouldn't mind that. :D

I've been upgrading my live board with no issues since Beta 1 so I'm happy that RC1 is finally out. Hopefully we'll be seeing the Gold release within a week or two. :)

[PitchouneN64ngc]

You're quick between Beta 4 and Release Candidate 1 :)

Good job ;)

[Chousho]

I'm thinking maybe a week and a half before we see Gold? If they beat that, then wow! Just make sure to check your list twice! I'm very excited about the new features and can't wait until I install!

[QtrCafe]

Watching closely until GOLD is released :D

Great job guys .. really appreciated

[mentalrz]

gold please

[t3nt3tion]

Man-o-man, hope to see gold soon, so I`ll just install that.

[Omri.L]

Thank you for your quick release :) hope to see Gold asap, but dont rush ;)

[Onimua]

Its so close I can almost smell it :P

Oh, sorry, that was me... :p

w00t... one step closer to Gold. Can't wait... now to upgrade my forums. :D

[Psionic Vision]

gold please

Hey vB Team did you hear that? The general is here. You are now obliged to release a gold edition within 24 hours. Or else... o.O :D

[cbiweb]

A few weeks ago I read through an extensive post of all the new features in 3.6. Is it still around somewhere? I tried searching for it but no joy.

Thanks Onimua. heh... no idea how I missed it.

[simsim]

Good job. Time to upgrade.

P.S. Shouldn't the 3.6 forums changed from 'vBulletin 3.6 Beta' to 'vBulletin 3.6 Release Candidate' on the forum home page?

[hornstar6969]

Good job. Time to upgrade.

P.S. Shouldn't the 3.6 forums changed from 'vBulletin 3.6 Beta' to 'vBulletin 3.6 Release Candidate' on the forum home page?

Most likely, but hopefully in a week it will be saying

vBulletin 3.6
These forums are only for issues with the current 3.6. For 3.5 support, use the 3.5 forums.

:D

[MThornback]

Upgraded test board without issue :) alls well! :D

[Floris]

People begging for Gold release, the RC1 is just out, you can't expect gold to follow within 24 hours. Stop begging please - be reasonable.

[RattleSnake]

Pwned by Floris

[creedmaniac]

last update i made was beta 2...can i update with the RC or do i need to first update b3 and b4?

[Mr. D]

Great keep out the good work guys

[holyboy]

wow rc1 is perfect :d thanks jelsoft

[Onimua]

last update i made was beta 2...can i update with the RC or do i need to first update b3 and b4?
The update script will go through all the upgrades between your current version and the latest version you uploaded into your server. ;)

[Oblivion Knight]

Excellent timing guys!

Falls perfectly in line with my site's re-opening in August, I was hoping RC1 would be out before then and here it is! Upgraded flawlessly, as always.. :)

[Quillz]

Thanks for the quick release candidate. Just upgraded from Beta 4 with no problems. I'm expecting at least one more release candidate before the gold release.

[kurtbarker]

man... I upgraded 2 days ago...

it's great to see the constant updates, means the support is fantastic... but come on, us admins have gotta sleep, pmsl...

thanks again guyz

[monky91]

Hpe Gold version release fast

[j883376]

People begging for Gold release, the RC1 is just out, you can't expect gold to follow within 24 hours. Stop begging please - be reasonable.
But Floris... Gold release is supposed to be 13.5 seconds after the RC1 release! You didn't get the memo?

[ronmakh]

Hiiiiiiiiii

[wii]

I just hope VBGallery will be updated soon, so I can actually use version 3.6

[Wynand]

mmh, din't hear about any problems here, but i think that i'm first going to test it on local server ;)

Now, when does gold come? :D

[alluidh]

The day after the day before gold will be ready to download

[Caiman]

This has been a fantastic and speedy beta cycle, a big thanks to all the developers who've been busting their arses over it. Looking forward to Gold.

[007]

Also waiting for Gold, but very excited about this. The list of new features is possibly the best any upgrade has ever had. Keep up the good work!

[Aeolian]

COOL work!

what a treat after the world cup :D

[Mike Sullivan]

what a treat after the world cupYes, I dedicate this release to Zidane's headbutt. ;)

[chewbacca]

That was hilarious. :)

I've upgraded and fixed templates without any problems.

By the way, what did the "Allow Signatures" option do? Was it a site-wide option previously?

[Fusion]

Yes, I dedicate this release to Zidane's headbutt. ;)
Let's hope it's not as black a patch on the final sortie as that turned out to be.

[PixelFX]

thanks for the hard work :D

[Omega Prime]

I just hope VBGallery will be updated soon, so I can actually use version 3.6
With a bit of tweaking, you can get vbgallery working with 3.6 ;)

[Chousho]

But Floris... Gold release is supposed to be 13.5 seconds after the RC1 release! You didn't get the memo?
Yeah... I'm gonna need you to come in on Saturday. Mmkay?
*sips coffee*

Yes, I dedicate this release to Zidane's headbutt. ;)
Hahaha, what a noble cause.

[Omeka]

Zidane thanks because it has been behaved from true “Gentleman”:mad: , while Italy is champion of the Word.Upgrade the new release and me he seems much stable one. Hi

[Ohiosweetheart]

I went ahead and upgraded my live forum with RC1... not a single problem. All of my mods... vBPicGallery, vBShoutbox, vBux/vStore, IBProArcade... all upgraded seamlessly and working like a charm!

[Rebecca217]

Much appreciated! Thanks for all your hard work! :)

[outlaw621]

I have upgraded to RC1 and after looking at the tables in PHPMyadmin, I noticed that the warnings table has been removed from the database. Is this correct or am I just missing the table?

Disregard this post. I found it in the user table. I overlooked it initially.

[Tigurius]

I'm so sorry to say this but it's too tempting...

Sooo... when will 4.0 RC1 be ready? lol. jk.

I'll be getting my next license verrrry shortly :D

[Kerry-Anne]

Upgraded, but not very smoothly :(

Nothing that wasn't resolved by reuploading the files though.

Looking good and loving it :D

[monky91]

I want to find the information but cant,

May I know whats the system requrment for vB 3.6 again?

[Floris]

You can find the vBulletin requirements on the features page on www.vbulletin.com (left menu)

[Inaam]

[Floris]

If they are you can find them in the style download forum on our web site.

And we would still recieve updates for a program (XP in this case) that came 5 years ago out! :D

[joshx]

I want to find the information but cant,

May I know whats the system requrment for vB 3.6 again?
What are the system requirements for vBulletin?

Minimum Requirements: vBulletin is designed to run on every server that has PHP 4.3.3 or greater and MySQL 4.0.16 or greater installed.

It is recommended to use PHP 4.4.2 or 5.1.2, or later and MySQL 5.0.19 or later.

The software has been successfully installed on several different flavours of UNIX, as well as Windows™ 98/NT/2000/XP, and the Mac.

[a simple façade]

I've got 3.6 running on a *nix host with PHP 4.4.0 and MySQL 4.1.18. Hehe. -_-'

[harmor]

And we would still recieve updates for a program (XP in this case) that came 5 years ago out! :D

Jelsoft still releases updates for the 2.x.x branch and it's getting old.

[Steve Machol]

Only security updates.

Sounds fimiliar :p

I woudn't expect any before the "gold" release. Changes can still occur from RC -> final.

[SnitchSeeker]

I'm very excited about this release!

Thanks for adding functionality like the warning/infraction system and other great features! I've been waiting for some of them for 2 years! :)

I don't know if I should upgrade my 3.5.4 board to 3.6RC1 or wait until Gold.

upgrade your production board with gold. setup a testing board for hte betas and RC's..:)

[NeutralizeR]

I've lost my attachment views feature after vBulletin 3.6 RC1 update...

removed that phrase's if conditional to get it working again...

Is there any options menu to enable/disable attachment views i might have been missed?

[Ogden2k]

It depends on how well you know vB, PHP, MySQL, etc. I've had my live board using 3.6.0 since beta 1.

It doesn't depend on how well i know vB, PHP, MySQL, etc...

I've been using vBulletin 3.6 since beta 2.

I'm talking about the templates...

I couldn't able to see attachment's views before i removed the if conditional in postbit_attachment template:
<if condition="$show['views']">, <phrase 1="$attachment[counter]">$vbphrase[x_views]</phrase></if>

[Fusion]

Report it as a bug in the bug-tracker, NeutralizeR.

[Neo_Angelo]

i'm going to upgrade to 3.6.0RC, this'll be the first time i've upgraded so hopefully i won't get stuck along the way. i'm on 3.5.4 at the moment and felt like the upgrade would benefit my boards. so great job with everything and keep up the good work ^_^

[Jericho2006]

I don't see a point in upgrading to RC1 unless you like to dabble with a test site. I am going to wait for the gold before upgrading my production site.

[kurtbarker]

I've had it live since beta 3

No problems client side, but a few minor issues admin side

[Neo_Angelo]

I think that instead of the infraction warn system we should use the warn system made by Zero tolerence, sinces its much nicer and defenitly better than silly yellow and red cards....in my opinion anyways.

though this version is a lot better than 3.5.4, i like the new feature apart from that infraction one.

Do not forget to make a backup of the files and forum database before you upgrade.


I don't see a point in upgrading to RC1 unless you like to dabble with a test site. I am going to wait for the gold before upgrading my production site.

That's what we recommend yes, unless you wish to help development and beta test the software stay on the latest stable version :)

That is good news, except for the admin side of things. Report any bugs please in the bug tracker :)

Zero tolerance is a customer and not a developer, his plugin differs from the code we made. You're free to use his plugin if it is updated to 3.6.

[Shazz™]

Whens the real thing comming out..

[Fusion]

All in good time..

[Zachery]

Whens the real thing comming out..
Define the real thing, vB 3.6 is real, you can download it and use it if you are a licensed customer. Its just not gold.

[Gomjaba]

Its just not gold.

Just a minor issue :)

[Jim O]

I don't know if I should upgrade my 3.5.4 board to 3.6RC1 or wait until Gold.
Personal preference/risk tolerance I suppose.

I have kept my two existing sites at 3.5.4 and not even played with the beta versions there. I'll wait until 3.6.0 (gold) at the earliest and for most of my existing hacks to be updated.

I started a new site in late June. Beta 3 version was already out and I made the decision to start with that, not wanting to deal with an upgrade shortly after setting it up. It's now on RC1 and working quite well though I've kept hacks to a relative few.

[Zingu]

couldn't find this so sorry if posted:

where is the list of template edits? I have too many to just do a blanket upgrade, but I need to know exactly what was changed in templates for manual edits.

has the list been posted yet?

[conqsoft]

Use the built-in template history comparison tool to see the differences.

[harmor]

I think they release the template edits when gold is released.

[conqsoft]

They have all the changed templates listed in the release threads now, but I've never seen them list EVERY SINGLE CHANGE made to each template; that's what the built-in comparison tool is for....

[PamelaE]

Upgraded today at soapchat.net and still having fun playing with the options.

Like cbiweb would love to know what all the new features are.

Turns out my database corrupted that table. and it was set to In Use and couldnt get out of that mode. So i had to delete it and add a fresh table.

[roosevelt]

Any ideas when the stable version will come out?

[conqsoft]

Any ideas when the stable version will come out?

As always, "when it's done."

[chewbacca]

Any ideas? I think a few more weeks to a month.

[kurtbarker]

I actually think it is pretty stable... the only problems i've had, and seen on here and ones relating to hacks, which vBulletin doesn't support anyone... so excluding 3rd party addons... it's almost perfect

[Ohiosweetheart]

I'm running RC1 on my live forum, and have major hacks such as vBPicGallery, vB Shoutbox, vBux/vPlaza, IBPro Arcade. All without a hitch, it's running very smoothly.

[wii]

At this speed the stable version should be here in about 2 weeks.

[Fusion]

Yeah, we'll get another RC this week, and hopefully the Gold by the beginning og August.

[harmor]

I upgraded straight from 3.5.4. I think the hardest part was the template edits.

I was going to simulate my site by copying the database to my test board and upgrading to RC 1 but copying the sql commands by hand I gave up.
I just said f--k it and uploaded the RC files over my 3.5.4 files and ran the upgrade. I ofcourse backed everything up.

[good2laugh]

Good to know - I have advgallery which doesn't work so can't update my live board, very frustrating. Is vBPicGallery any good? I assume I will find that on org. Gonna ditch gallery, not so fond of the support anymore, so looking for an alternative. Don't have time now - lunch hours seem to get shorter ;) <hint to vB team> Just WISH Jelsoft had a built in gallery </end hint> ;)

[wii]

I use VBGallery, which is great, but currently version 1.02 doesn´t work in vBulletin 3.6, but Photopost promised to have the new 1.03 ready when vBulletin 3.6 Gold is ready, so I´m waiting patiently.

[Mike Sullivan]

This post marks the release of release candidate 2! :D

[mentalrz]

first post for rc2, wee :P

[alluidh]

OK, hope will come very soon ... Waiting for 3.6 since November 2005 :D

[harmor]

I just upgraded from 3.5.4 to RC 1 last night.
I'll wait til Gold then I'll upgrade unless there's a security hole.

[wii]

Cool, maybe the stable release will be ready already here in july then ?

[Fusion]

Dang, I'm good. I said this week, and lookie here. :)

[Onimua]

Yay!

Will upgrade shortly... :)

oh kewl... I didn't have anything to do today anyway :rolleyes:

[aggiefan]

are there any rules about posting podcasts with url's? (which was one of the new features in 3.6 RC2) but when I try to submit a post with url it just goes to a white screen and never posts the actual message.

Ive tried both IE7 and Opera to make sure it wasnt a specific browser problem and I tried submitting a regular post w/o the url podcast part filled in everything went through fine. So either there is something special you have to enable somewhere or there is a bug somewhere.

[Zachery]

Please use the appropriate forums for support matters.

[aggiefan]

Please use the appropriate forums for support matters.

ok posted in support.... i just wasnt sure if this belonged in support yet. (im guessing there is something I am still doing wrong) but I posted a new thread in support.... thanks for letting me know.

[Shining Arcanine]

I just upgraded my forums. Uploading all of the necessary files via passive FTP and running the upgrade process only took 7 minutes, and the only template edits I had to make were to postbit_legacy. :)

[EdQ]

Sweet! Upgrading now. :)

[EdQ]

Piece of cake :)

[Wynand]

Piece of cake :)

Yes please :D


Going to install RC2 in about 3 hours, need to get my cronjob for the backups working again...

[Jim O]

Piece of cake :)
Yes, indeed. Took about 5 minutes from start to finish.

[Neo_Angelo]

mine took around 4-5 minuites when i upgraded to RC2

[Michael-DLR]

I just want to say thank you to the VB Team for doing such a good job on the releases. We all appreciate it!

Michael

[bhxtyrant]

I just wanted to ask a question about RC2,I notice when reading the official announcment topic it has a list of a few templates and tells you if they need to be reverted or not,ect.I was just wondering are these the only templates that are significantly changed to require a revert or are there more that are not listed?I just wanted to know this because i am planning to upgrade from 3.5.4 when gold hits the net but currently i am building a custom skin in 3.5 so i'd rather know this and not do a ton of work on the skin for 3.5 if i have to almost completely rebuild it to work with 3.6 thanks for your time.

[Colin F]

Those are the only templates that are changed.

Is the question are the templates listed in today's announcement

editpost
newthread

Added input fields for podcasts.

Requires Revert? Only if you use podcasting AND need to be able to specify an external url.




pm_newpm

Updated BCC JavaScript to the link href doesn't get executed.

Requires revert? No.




postbit_legacy

Added borders to parts of the table for a more consistent look.

Requires revert? No.




memberlist_search

Forced the instant messaging fields to be displayed left-to-right.

Require revert? No.
the only ones changed since 3.5.4 or since 3.6 RC1?

I think Colin answered the latter question below, not the former.
Those are the only templates that are changed.

[bhxtyrant]

Thanks for the fast replies guys,
Yes the question was mainly pertaining to template changes from 3.5.4 to 3.6 i know there are a few in the RC1 thread and now there are some in RC2 i just wanted to be sure there were not like 30 templates not listed that all needed to be reverted before continuing work on my skin as im sure you can imagine would be a pain after you spent weeks working on it.

[Colin F]

Yes, those are since 3.6 RC1 of course.
You'd have to go through all the announcements (including Betas) since the version you're upgrading from for all the template changes.

[bhxtyrant]

Ah i see thats what i thought,so basically from the 4 beta's and 2 RC's of 3.6.Thanks again.

[tommykjensen]

Is there a list of what has changed (not just templates) between RC1 and RC2?

[Colin F]

It's mainly these bug fixes: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/bugs36.php?do=list&s=&textsearch=&bugtypeid=0&status=0&severity=0&vbversion=3.6.0+Release+Candidate+1&assignid=0&sortby=lastreply&sortdir=desc

Thanks

Not trying to be pushy - but is there an eta for 3.6 gold?

[Colin F]

Eithe someone changed it or I don't see what's wrong with it...?

[Colin F]

Not trying to be pushy - but is there an eta for 3.6 gold?
No, there's no ETA.

[noppid]

Eithe someone changed it or I don't see what's wrong with it...?

I read it wrong. I read it as RC 1 changes, not Since RC1. My eyes went right to RC 1 and since it was RC 2, my mind rejected it.

Thanks

[amnesia623]

No, there's no ETA.

Thank You!

[DaveTomneyUK]

Where do I go to find all the updates since version 3.5.4 to 3.6.0 RC2?

Only the latest unstable release is available.

[Bluestrike2]

Yay! I spy with my little eye a podcast URL addition to RC2 :).

[0ptima]

kewl.... I guess gold will be out by August

[Gomjaba]

I guess it will be out when its done .. just a guess .. a wild guess .. really ...

[I-Web]

I guess it will be out when its done .. just a guess .. a wild guess .. really ...
I would guess the same

[Tigurius]

And now that RC2 is out i buy another license WEEEE *clicks buy and starts rumaging around the code*

Now the real question is, what my current site with 3.0.7 would look like/act like if i upgraded, oh my all those mods :S

[Shazz™]

*waits for the real GOLD.

[Chousho]

You gold diggers! Haha, I'm excited to see when I woke up earlier that there was a newer RC out. Hurrah, I say. Hurrah!


Now, we should put together a fund for a pizza party when 4.0 comes out, haha.

[wii]

Is it just me, or is 3.6 faster than 3.5 ?

[Easyskillz]

Hmm, can't upgrade yet...Gotta wait for Photopost and vbevent hack to be upgraded.

:) Good job guys ...Very fast vb updates.

[eclectica]

I've got to say that your improvement to the postbit_legacy template is great. Ever since vBulletin 3 came out I've been changing cellspacing=0 to cellspacing=1, but this new look you've put in is even better with the date not having a vertical line, making it easy to distinguish one post from the next. Also it appears that the background of the date field is now using the table header background color, which looks nice. I am now leaving that template with the default setting.

[WeArab.Net]

What's new in RC-2?:confused:

[Colin F]

Nothing special new, it's mainly bug fixes.

[Chousho]

Just wondering, but have any of the phrases changed over the beta to RC releases? Are you expecting any from here to Gold? I would like to work on a translation based off from the latest VB, but don't want to start until there's a good amount of stability.

[Colin F]

Phrases have changed and new phrases have been added.
I wouldn't expect many more changes before Gold though.

[Chousho]

Ah, so rather than translate RC2, it would be better to just wait for Gold then? If this is not right let me know, otherwise, thank you for the information.

[John the Artist]

I'm loving it. Looks gold to me already.

Very happy with the new additions. A renewal was a no-brainer for me.

=)

[MThornback]

Running Fine on my laptop & on my test site :D

[Timan]

Impex getting an update when this goes final? Only reason I ask, might be smart for me to wait for a new version than using whats out now.

[Colin F]

You can already translate now and then simply update any changes.

Yes, ImpEx will be updated.

[Maagic]

No, there's no ETA.

Is there an ETA on if there will be an ETA? :)

[Colin F]

There are not ETA's at all :p

[alluidh]

Is there an ETA on if there will be an ETA? :)
nice try, had to remember later :D

[Ohiosweetheart]

I would love to test it, but my forum won´t work, because of VBGallery.

which gallery? I get confused between vBGallery and vBPicGallery. The latter has been upgraded to work with 3.6, it works fine on my site

[barroca]

I'm following read the evolution of vb 3.6. I don't upgrade my sites because still yet RC's versions.
But I see the geral enthusiam :)
The carefully way of development and the transparency of the vb team are the best!
Congratulations to all.

[Inaam]

has anyone noticed any bugs yet on rc2?

[Tomek]

Yes, but they are already fixed:

[Ohiosweetheart]

they're fixing them extremely quickly. LOL... they want to get Gold released to shut us up :p

[hornstar6969]

Tell them there are no more bugs so then they release the gold sooner ^^ or maybe not, I would prefer it to be secure and no bugs lol So keep up the good work VB team, I love it how they make sure their products are in a really stable condition before stating it is Gold.

[Gomjaba]

Upgraded (http://www.ut2007world.com) without a problem .. took 2 minutes where 1 minute 50 was upload :) Only postbit_legacy needed some additional code .. THANKS for the compare feature ..

[twitch]

simple upgrade every time for me. Looking forward to Gold!

Agreed!. I was just browsing around the bug tracker and noticed now only 1 bug... and I think its a tiny weeny little shortcut key thing so am hopeful to be installing gold at the weekend ;)

[wii]

Yeah, 1 little bug doesn´t matter - lets go Gold !!!!!!!!!!

[Transverse Styles]

Yep, everything looks good. Solid as a rock.

[Wynand]

Indeed..

But I still want to get that shortcut bug fixed! :D

[Fusion]

It will get fixed. :)

[Inaam]

is there a link to that shortcut bug information page?

[wii]

1 bug left:

There got up to 8 new (old / duplicate) bugs per day - every day :)

[Black740]

Whats the difference between "GOLD" and the actual final release?

I'm holding off moving my site to a new server waiting for a final release.

[PitchouneN64ngc]

Whats the difference between "GOLD" and the actual final release?

You can see this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_stage) ;)

[Floris]

Yep, everything looks good. Solid as a rock.
Yes, it runs quite stable on my sites ;)

[Ohiosweetheart]

smooooooooooth as silk on mine too ;)

[xYarub]

I was curious if the infractions system has been modified at all. I know that when they were first introduced, they were annoying in the fact that it only overrided the yes's with no's. Will they ever or do they have the effect of secondary usergroups? Or maybe the same way the subscriptions work?

Wasn't sure and I can't find anything about it. ._.

[wii]

Now only 2 confirmed bugs:

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/bugs36.php?s=&do=list&status=40

[centris]

Using the latest PHP 5 and mySQL here and not a single problem since beta 4, everything I try just seems to work and I am really impressed by the speed that the developers are sorting out the bugs and the new code is released. The only problem guys is that now you have set a new benchmark we expect this kind of service from now on :p

With this in mind we'd like to be testing 4.0 for you guys by Christmas ;)

Nice to hear VB3.6 coming to a close. One thing, though, I hope the security hole in earlier versions regarding the "forum leaders" button has been tightly secured.

Some sites are watching this upgrade.

[Colin F]

There are no known security issues with 3.5.4 or 3.6

Well, don't shoot me, I just heard on this board, that a board is easily cracked through the forum leaders button, SOMEWHERE. I'll look for it for ya.

VB3.5.x:
Although I want my guests to be able to read my forums, I dont want them to be able to view my memberslists & or who the forum leaders are, there are security reasons for this which I wont get into publicly.

Copying and pasting, no matter what method has rarely worked for me in Firefox... seems to have a mind of it's own.

I have no problem with copy and paste in Firefox 1.0.x.

As soon as I installed Firefox 1.5, I noticed that copy and paste RARELY worked so I went back to Firefox 1.0.x.

Maybe 2.0 fixes this?

Now what are you talking about

Now what are you talking about

Eating paste or something....

My RC2 is having no issues, BTW.

[Inaam]

wots the latest, how many bugs left to fix or is there any indication that the gold is nearly ready?

[Fusion]

The bug-count varies, obviously. At the moment there are 3 confirmed bugs and 2 unconfirned. What that means is between you and your beliefs.

[Ohiosweetheart]

lol... that was good...

[good2laugh]

:( was hoping that I could make use of my time off work and be installing gold NOW, but as usual it'll appear when I'm back at work and I've no time to install it. Pesky vbgallery people won't even release anything to make the gallery work with RC2 they sound like an old record "we'll support it when it goes gold" so it'll go gold and then gotta faff around with gallery. none of this would be a problem if vB had an intergrated gallery and cms its just having to rely on third parties. Bugs seem to be increasing instead of decreasing too :(

<wanders off to find some patience> ;)

[alluidh]

Sorry, your wrong. Third parties are more faster because most of them only work on one part like a gallery or something else. If Jelsoft would release the vBulletin, a galerie, a cms and much more, you think all will be faster?

Until now there are 12 unconfirmed und 3 confirmed bugs for 3.6 - So, if I were a Hack-writer, I would wait to gold, before I release a hack and the hack doesn't work in RC3, because there were a change at the point of my hack ...

[Fusion]

I'm happy the bug-count seem to increase. That means people put in time to find those last few bugs so that when it finally reaches Gold, it will be as stable as a Gold release should be. With a stable Gold, we'll see a final all the sooner.

[good2laugh]

Sorry, your wrong. Third parties are more faster because most of them only work on one part like a gallery or something else. If Jelsoft would release the vBulletin, a galerie, a cms and much more, you think all will be faster?

I'm not wrong at all. If vB had gallery and cms integrated I wouldn't care if it was RC2 for 20 weeks.. then RC3 for 20 weeks because MY actual upgrade (when it finally went gold) would take just minutes....... but everything would work, my board would be offline just minutes.

By me having to rely on third party hacks, I have to wait for the hackers (in this case vbgallery, links and advanced) to release newer versions.. then I can upgrade my live board and then each hack/product in turn.. that takes ages and is frustrating when SOME of the products receive little support for whatever reason.

I love the new vB features but can't risk installing it on a live board, because other products in their current form would break the site. <--- that's my gripe lol. I want to be able to see everything working which I can't do because gallery peeps won't release anything :(

Until now there are 12 unconfirmed und 3 confirmed bugs for 3.6 - So, if I were a Hack-writer, I would wait to gold, before I release a hack and the hack doesn't work in RC3, because there were a change at the point of my hack ...

Like you said though, they are working on one hack/product and they'd have already done the main work to get their product working so it wouldn't take them long to fix it again for RC3 ;) There are some great authors over at vborg who have got their hacks working with rc2, advanced have updated their package to work too, so I'm not sure why gallery peeps can't do the same! :)

Yeah you're right Fusion, I've just got my impatience head on today... I'm mighty impressed with the bug forum and how quickly bugs are found and squashed.. great job by both members and coders. :)

[Jericho2006]

Where are you guys hearing that there is going to be an RC3? Or are you assuming? I figured it would be going gold this time around since it is so stable and what bugs there are, are completely trivial.

[Shazz™]

GOLD!!
Ive been waiting so PATIENTLY..

[twitch]

Gold will be nice :) I have a lot of code work awaiting its release

Lol..

Is there going to be an other RC before the gold edition?

[alluidh]

@Good2laugh
You think the galery and the cms would be a part of the board? Me not :)
Not everyone would use a galery or a cms with the forum. So it would be 3 products like now ...

[ComputerVitals]

Silly question here,

Is GOLD the same as the final stable release version?

[MThornback]

Gold is a stable (supported) release, yes :)

@Wynand (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/member.php?u=118867)

Really depends on the bug situation...but i'd kinda doubt it at this point....though....they've done things to make me wrong before *glares at Staff* :p
