Here is your fortnightly insight into what is happening with vBulletin 3 Development.
Over the past two weeks attention has been focused squarely on ironing out any remaining bugs, and tidying up the code and back-end systems in preparation for the imminent public beta release.
Function name homogenization is now complete. The changes were made with a tool I wrote which allows the developers to associate an existing function name with its new name, which complies with the newly-established function naming rules. All that remains to do for this process is to run the batch script included in the tool which will replace the old function names in the PHP scripts themselves. This should happen in the next couple of days.
Another major effort in process at the moment is the rationalization of the language system. The vast majority of text in vBulletin is now in the language system but there is a lot of phrase duplication (ie: multiple phrases that say edit etc.) so we are currently going through the phrases making sure that we don't have any overly verbose phrases, and combining separate phrases into a single phrase wherever possible (such as Edit This Forum and Edit Forum being merged into Edit Forum).
Currently Unresolved Bugs
