When will vBulletin 3.7 be released (joke)

[Fusion]

Here's part of a conversation that suggests it will be out before the year is out:

If so, they'd have to forgo the beta/rc cycles, as there's no telling how time-consuming those will be.

I think for most people it's more important to know what features and changes to expect, than the exact release date.

Thats whats strange. How can they finish rc and beta stages in 1 month? That suggests 2 rcs and 2 betas, each lasting 1 week. Unless off course there are no rc/beta stages.

Maybe it will be one beta and three release candidates or 3 betas and one release candidate. You never know. Actually I think we try to have 1 beta and maybe a release candidate before gold. You can never foresee these things though.

Ah in that case there are no worries .

It also depends on how confident the Devs are - perhaps they have been doing a lot more testing in-house thesedays?

As far as I know all features were set (for the SN side of things) and were being implemented way back in early October, so I guess they've come along quite a way since then, esp if all the team has been working on it.

I hope the beta comes out soon, so all our favourite hacks begin to get ported over and are ready for gold when it comes out

I don't think they all worked on 3.7 - most likely some worked on other things such as 4.0 and maybe even the next addon whatever that might be . Plus theres the 3.7 update for the blog and project tools to deal with. Many people forget how much work and effort is required when major versions are made, thinking everyone works on it all at once and its a piece of cake as its one thing .

[Floris]

Trust me, a lot of work is put in 3.7. None of the latest releases of products we offer are shelved.

That does come across Floris it seems the Devs have been working pretty hard lately, hence why I feel annoyed when some people have nasty tones in their posts!

You're reading way too much into what Wayne says, when in essence all he's saying he doesn't know.

All the in-house testing in the world cannot account for the many different scenarios public beta-testing will expose software to.

I believe we'll see several betas and several RCs, like before, because no matter how stable and "aged" the core gets, new features means a brand new minefield, it does not shorten the test-phase.

So, we may see a beta this year, but the stable version won't be out 'til next year.

Well Kier seemed confident enough to post what he did, so as he knows how far the development has come along and is actually using 3.7 in some form - I guess I'd be inclined to take his word for it.

All he said really was that it could be sooner than that.

Actually, he said it would be sooner, but we all know hype when we see it.

Of course, but I still love it.

[ZeldeR]

We are still waiting on it.

Remember this Kier?

Remember this when you came to irc when 3.0 was about to get released?
