    Well, they said they would release vB5 before the end of the year - and they have!
    They never mentioned anything about it going Gold before the end of the year.

    That's my personal take on it, I don't have any actual information on that.

        Wonderful discovery, Mark. So next time we are well advised to hire lawyers to read between the lines of every vB announcement? FWIW, with the announcement of the release before end of year, they also underlined that vB5 is the "best-ever platform for building and sustaining strong community-driven websites" with "more than 100 other new features and enhancements." So no matter how you interpret a "release", by the end of this year, there is no excuse for pointing out that vB5 is a beta or alpha not suitable for production usage. After all, its the best-ever platform. Unless, of course, their marketing blurbs were intentionally misleading and wrong.

          Typical statement here. Cause there won't be any further upgrade or improvement to vB4. Not to speak of the so called CMS. Poor IB. Shame on you.

            No, that is not a typical statement and I wonder why you know that there won't be further upgrades anymore? To speculate is no the right way to handle this topic, we actually do everything we can do to work on the products.

              Not saying that you(The team)not working hard on the product.
              Saying only that for you very hard to impress the customers with a house which has a second and third level(forum and blog) without a good base(CMS).

              There is no toilet bowl in the bathroom,that is not a necessity, possible to use the bath or the faulty kitchen sink instead...
              Yes I know that it might come soon...

              The engineer designed the house but half of the contractors to build it have no qualifications.

                We've had the same architect? ^^

                I understand the problem and i undertstand the customers asking for 4.2.1. But we can't say more than we already did, it's planned but there is not time set for release yet. Sorry.

                    I'm blaming everyone. But mostly me. If I didn't buy 4.0, I wouldn't be waiting on 4.2.1. If I didn't buy 5.0 beta, I wouldn't be waiting on Gold or CMS.
                    As Tom Petty would say.
                    "The waiting is the hardest part
                    Every day you see one more card
                    You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
                    The waiting is the hardest part"

                      Typical nonsense here.

                      No one has said there wont be any more work on vB4.

                          Of course they won't do 4.2.1 until 5 goes gold, they want to milk the saps for all of the cash they can first.

                              What are these weird messages inside messages wich can nott be quoted ? Don't people want their messages to be part of the discussion ?
