UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums News and Releases Announcements UBBCentral.com now running 7.1 beta 4

We've just upgraded to beta 4 of version 7.1. I'll be releasing this to the private testers in just a bit and if all goes well, we should have this in the Members Area in a few days.

Nice one Rick

If I ask REALLY nicely Rick, could you sneak the amendment to the stylesheet so that you can have main body style for new posts as well.. rather than waiting for 7.2

Thanks Rick, can't wait

Yeah an update right in the middle of my post

It went through though since I was already in

Are we gonna get an updated changelog, or would that take too much time?

Give him time hehe

He'll need it -- it's almost a month old

Darn... mousing over the shortened post titles to show the complete title didn't make it in yet...

Its a new game.. hunt the fixes

Let the games begin

I made a post yesterday in the changelog to explain the lack of changelog updates

As for anything new getting in, once we're this far into beta it's completely feature frozen, otherwise we have to extend the beta even longer since the new stuff would need to be tested.

Good job old boy

Many thanks - looking good (now to find out where the bugs are )

psh, bugs? never!

Yeah, but.... it's unclear whether you planned to post a list or not for the past month. I suppose that'd be too difficult at this point. Only asking because otherwise we wouldn't know where to look for bugs.

he abandoned you all! muahah! lol

I was going to try and backtrack and figure out what I've actually fixed by just looking for those without the [FIXED] tag, but then realized I'd end up spending a lot of time instead of actually making progress. Once you fall behind on that, it's a major pain to backtrack.

So, for the rest of 7.1, we'll just be going off of what's tagged as [FIXED] or not. Once I start work on 7.2...or 7.1.1 , then I'll pick back up on it again and make sure I keep up to date

I just found my old favourite one

my favorite one is oddbar; and yes it has stalked me in 7.1 lol

Well done Rick

Keep up the good work

Our whole civilization depends upon it lol

Hurry, Beta testers, HURRY!

Sue <<-- not impatient for the update ... nah, not me!

I was once anxious for both 7.0.1 and 7.0.2 so I could upgrade, however, I ran into unexpected server-type problems that held me off from doing the upgrade.

When the 7.1 beta 3 and now beta 4 came along, and I saw how close we were to it, I decided to hold off any upgrades until 7.1 is ready for us to upgrade to.

I assume I can upgrade from 7.0 to 7.1 safely?

Yes, you'll be able to upgrade directly from 7.0 to 7.1, Daryl.

so will this be released tomorrow for public?

I would guess the earliest will be next week

How important is doing a back-up prior to doing the upgrade?

In other words, what are the chances that I will even need the back-up?

I always do, better to be safe than sorry

It doesn't really matter what the chances are. If the chances are 1 in a 100 or 1 in 1000, you still don't want to be that 1 failure when backing up prior to upgrading is so easy. Beware Murpy's Law.
