Finally, an SMF 2.0 Update
July 30, 2010, 04:58:16 PM Posted by [SiNaN] on July 30, 2010, 04:58:16 PM in Finally, an SMF 2.0 Update | 260 CommentsHey everyone,
It has been quite sometime since the last blog post about SMF development was made. Although I'm not the best blogger in the dev team, I thought I would say a "Hi!" and give some information about what we have been doing for the past months. As you would expect, there have been quite a few changes since then.
As you may already know, TE, Aäron^, Compuart^ and karlbenson left the team during the past few months. We can't thank them enough for what they have done for SMF - Thank you very much guys! On the other hand we had Norv joining the development team as the lead developer, me as a core developer and Antechinus, and Nas as user interface developers. Not to forget Nao, who has been helping with development for the past two months as a consulting developer and a dozen of Beta Testers who have joined the ranks along with the new and existing members on the support, customization, documentation, internationalization, and marketing teams. So, rest assured, the team is back up and running!
In fact, over 200 entries have been added to changelog since the release of RC3 in March. During the last three months 72 issues were reported to our tracker and 122 issues were resolved. At the moment I write this, there are 50 open bugs in our tracker, some of which are show-stoppers for RC4.
So, what does this all mean? It means SMF 2.0 RC4 will be out soon. I cannot give an exact date, but it's definitely very soon.

Finally some good news... 
Good news indeed. 
Congratulations to the hardworking SMF team! Hope to see it around soon.
Congratulations
Oh no.
Ohhh nooo
oooohhhhhnooooooo
I have to upgrade many forums and mods

No you don't. Just keep using old releases. 
I could do that I guess but as an experienced SMF user... I'd look like a fool running anything but RC4 or 1.1.11
OMG does that mean everyones gonna start screaming when RC4 is released.
Remember folks it is a forum not a boy band.

Good news indeed! The new dev team sounds very sound, 2(+1) people with code/mod experience and 2 with design - a good mix if ever there was one.
Question: will there be many changes in templates for RC4? Related to bugs or just improvements?

Not many. All We're doing is fixing things for cross browser support (IE sux) and tweaking a few paddings and floats here and there. So there are some minor template changes but nothing like the last lot.
You can run an RC3 theme on the latest svn and it'll work just fine. Some of the padding in RC3 themes will look a bit wonky on some pages but you wont notice much else except that things will be less broken in some browsers. From a themer's point of view it's not major drama.
I did like to add..after those bugs in the tracker are fixed, it's better to find more bugs find in Bug Reports before anything (RC4 that is).

Great
We are also hoping make a post about changes in RC4 that may affect modification and theme authors, along with RC4 release.
That's good news! Especially this for me. We always expect such good news! ^^
We always expect such good news! ^^Hi all,
I think this my first post and could also be the last after I'm done but...
I'm reading, "that's good news" and so on, so where exactly are the good news?
I'm reading the post over and over for there are no good news in it.
There are 48 Entries in the Bug Tracker, great a few weeks ago there were only 38, but you reopened a few, an a quite big one to.
You post states, for the past few months you were doing "politics" and not coding.
This software is for 5 Years in Development, other Software(free forum software) have at least two releases in this period of time, the second free software that I know whit such a Development cycle is OScommerce, but you know there is no use in being the best in something if you are the only one who knows it...
I was with a few software titles with a long term development but you could see progress, you could see that something is happening. In the last few months there is nothing happening with SMF, no sorry it is, a lot of politics. I was waiting for MODx Revolution (almost two years) to start my next big Project and I was searching for a forum software and thought i found it in SMF but after i was reading the Forum and other sites I'm not sure anymore. I was also waiting for phpBB 3 but I didn't like that what came out but as things are standing right now I think the best thing to do is to go back to phpBB. WTF happened to this Software, at the moment i get the feeling it's like Duke Nukem.
Are the good news that the RC4 is going to be out soon? I'm reading that for a while in the forum, nothing happens.
If things go on like this the Software is going to be old when it gets released. You started the Development with PHP3? Then you had to convert to PHP4 then to PHP5 and as things are going soon to PHP6? When is this going to end? If you still have old PHP3 code in it you can never perform like software written in PHP5. I just don't get it. What is going on?
Ok, now i wanted to thank the Developers for they work, they are not fault for bad Management (like Vista, the Developers weren't fault that the software was a piece of junk, or you can blame the Developers that they started over with Duke Nukem three times and changed the Engine three times, it was the management), they are just doing as they told. You have a few very good things in your software and I hope you can finish it but I don't believe in it, it takes too long.
For all of those who will now post, do it yourself, I'm only programming/altering software for my needs, I don't do it professionally, I'm not good enough to do it professionally(in my opinion), I'm a supporter, I can analyze code, I can find problems and I was thinking about to join but then I found a few thing and thought to myself, no thank you. I'm living in a Democracy (such a nice word on paper, but as soon as a human says it it's something bad and It doesn't work) and if i wanted a "dictate" I would go to China.
Such great Software, such a shame, i feel sorry for every developer...
just my two cents...

Well, things change. And right now SMF is in a good flow.
THATS what I like to focus on, at least. Others can go use PhpBB or whatever lol, doesn't change the fact that SMF is one of the best forum scripts out there.

QuoteWTF happened to this Software, at the moment i get the feeling it's like Duke Nukem.DNF was never available to begin with, even as a beta or RC.
SMF2 RC3 is stable enough. I'd call it SMF 2.03 if it were just up to me.
The only difference between a RC and the final version, is that when the final version is installed, you can upgrade it with patches. But if you make sure to record all of your edits into a diff patch (or simply only use the mod system), you can easily upgrade RC's, too. That's why so many users choose to use SMF2, even in RC, rather than SMF1.
QuoteAre the good news that the RC4 is going to be out soon? I'm reading that for a while in the forum, nothing happens.I've seen the insides of the team -- they're on the right track for RC4 now. I'm confident they'll do their best to release the final version by the end of the year. Really, everyone is dying to see it out and be able to finally work on Saguaro and do the FUN stuff, i.e. implement new features.
QuoteIf things go on like this the Software is going to be old when it gets released. You started the Development with PHP3? Then you had to convert to PHP4 then to PHP5 and as things are going soon to PHP6?It's still PHP 4.3 right now, I believe. PHP 5 would be for Saguaro, at best.
QuoteWhen is this going to end? If you still have old PHP3 code in it you can never perform like software written in PHP5. I just don't get it. What is going on?Hmm... I don't see the difference. You can obviously run in PHP5 programs written for PHP4 (or even older).
The only difference is that you don't get to use the OOP stuff. But as for OOP being faster... I don't think so.
Quoteyou can blame the Developers that they started over with Duke Nukem three times and changed the Engine three times, it was the management),Actually, I believe the DNF management was also involved in programming... (And that's probably *why* they screwed up. Too large a project. Can't do everything.)
Quoteif i wanted a "dictate" I would go to China.I don't see the point...
But SMF will go more open source in the future. At least that's what all of the team wants. From what I've heard. And I support them in that direction, too.
Very good news

I'm looking forward to see smf 2 final!! I hope to see it released before the end of this year.. this is because a lot of mod/themes authors don't want to write code for a software that may change in many parts (and a lot, look the diffs between rc1 and rc2!!!). The stable release will grant a lot of new mods and themes and of course will (finally!) permit devs to start the work on 2.1!!
I didn't think we are meant to mention Saguaro in public issues in mantis lol
Everyone started to do it at some point, and at around the same time, nobody stepped in to switched these posts to Private mode, like it used to be.

Thanks for you answers all. I tryed to go to the forums at this site with 4th IE9 Test, and there isnt any compatibility mode needed xD. Just works fine

Well, if you're going to compare a preview release, do it for both.
IE9 gets a 95/100 on the Acid3 test (compared to 94/100 for the current FF and a 20/100 for IE8 - which shows why IE DESERVES the bashing). But the 4.0 beta3 preview of FireFox scores 97/100.
But, I'll admit that it's good that IE has finally decided to join the rest of the world.
All you have is the acid3 test to compare with. Heh.
The IE subject was covered before. It isn't hell. It is still catching up to the world. Live on.

That's far from 'all', just one easily checked metric for not-yet-finalized applications. Still, it's a lot more documentation than YOU provided for YOUR claim.
The simple fact that this far on in the game IE's still catching up speaks volumes.

It was probably IE 2.0 at minimum. IE 1.0 was only released as part of the Windows NT 4 Option Pack.
I started with Netscape 1.1N on Windows NT 3.51 in a university computer lab, well before the thought of a suite of applications was ever conceived. This was back when mcom.com was still a valid domain for Netscape's site (it redirects to AOL now, the current corporate owner of what used to be Netscape Communications Corporation).

To be fair, some of the remaining ones are tricky (that's why they remained, heh) and may require a bit more time than it seems. They're being worked on however, even if they're not committed yet.
Seems like there are around 21 open bugs left

how can you know everytime how many bugs there are in the project? (i mean the rest of us not of course the devolopers)
look at the open bug list in Mantis.

Thanks a lot mate!!
another question (because i am thinking of upgrading in rc3)
the simplemachines forum is pretty stable but i noticed is some kind of a revised version and not rc3 it says at the botton REV 10070, i am wondering if i download from the main site the rc3 will it be just like here, i mean the rev10070 or with some flaws that might be fixed at the current establishment?
PS are we having any new estimation for RC4? on 30 July it was "soon" (no pressure guys we all know how hard you try and the difficulties you come up to)

The devs has never revealed a release date, not even team members always knows it before it happens. So the answer will probably be.. soon.
The current version on this site, is something between RC3 and the next release (whatever that one is).

Contradiction... look at your sig. It may be wise to remove the "notice".
no contradiction... it's a joke.
If I knew or not, it still has nothing to do with the fact the devs have never revealed a release date to the public. Can't really see how it has anything to do with my sig, really.
Can someone give some news to the community?
What kind of news?

Their are currently 38 open bugs left for 2.0. Many have been assigned, with only 5 tagged as major.
However this is for beta testers/Friends/Team members view. The count for those who can't see private issues.
36, with 4 tagged as major.
And that information is available to anyone who takes the effort to check...

No, if no other developers/beta testers go over the bugs board, I'll have a going over tomorrow afternoon. Its far to late at night to do it now lol.
most of the bugs in the board have already been confirmed and moved into Mantis. Most of the remaining ones are either non-bugs or unconfirmed.

Been a few months now... time for another one of these posts? Especially since the bug count has only dropped from about 50 to about 30 since the last update 3 months ago.
Actually we got 94 new bug reports and 111 bugs were resolved during the last 3 months. So it's not just 20 resolved bugs. Though I admit things have been going slower than we expected, mostly because these last remaining bugs are the harder ones to tackle.
And yeah, we're making another one of these posts. Hopefully it's going to be something like this one.

Looking forward to the next post about 2.0 development.
Btw, I know 2.0 is feature-frozen right now, but you guys really have to increase the pace with new features / themes and improved usability / flexibility to keep up with other software like IPB and MyBB (and there seems to be a new kid on the block - XenForo) that have been improving a lot in the last year or so.

vB/IPB/xF all compete with each other, not really with SMF, as free and paid software are their own fields. The only real competitor with SMF right now is MyBB.
SMF should (and will) be competing with paid software. Just because something's a paid product doesn't mean it's automatically better than a free product
Granted, SMF has lagged behind for a while (and I don't think anyone will argue about that), but the future of Simple Machines is looking better than it ever has.

I didn't mean it that way. I meant usually someone will decide if they want free or paid software before picking what product they want. So SMF and MyBB directly compete, while indirectly competing with vB/IPB/xF.

XenForp is cool and all, and they released 1.0.0 Beta 2 today (and vB released 4.0. , but Free >>> $140 (as in goodness, not as in cost, I know my math).

That future some of us are working on, this very moment, at 4 a.m. in the morning, for many hours, reviewing code revisions and bug reports, retesting packages, debugging issues, and thinking in the back of the head the trade-offs of further versions. Maybe ... some of us were meaning to see a movie tonight for a change, instead. However maybe, just maybe, that movie is paused for hours... to do "just one more thing", "and I'll be back at it"... Looks like I won't be back tonight though.
Don't think there's one only, in any case. There are many people working hard to make it happen.
Ah well, there'll be a better time for movies anyway. In the ... future.
That future in which I will indeed see a movie, and Eliana Tamerin and her Black Cat will be upgrading their SMF.

Why most threads have to turn into arguments at Smf? I have seen nothing but a bad vibe in this community since I became a member. Can we please stop these nonsense arguments and get along with each other?

You can call it anything you like. Bu the fact remains that these arguments are holding back Smf and the whole communities that depend on it. Smf it is the only that is suffering from this.
Really? 
We all use argumentation on a daily basis, and you probably already have some skill at crafting an argument. The more you improve your skills in this area, the better you will be at thinking critically, reasoning, making choices, and weighing evidence.

Chill out, arguments aren't holding back SMF anymore. Yes, there were big problems earlier this year, and the community heard about a bit of it, but what you guys haven't heard is that it's almost all over. Once the NPO is finalized and owns SMF, it'll all be done and over with.

You joined after the apocalypse, so you missed the cause of much of it. Bad feelings still run deep, and there is much impatience all around to fix the issues and get SMF back to its glory days.
Many are frustrated as they watch their pride and joy (SMF) fall behind the competition due to internal issues that have now dragged on for years. SMF is not dead but it's fallen from greatness and we desperately want to see it return there. Anything that impedes that gets people riled up... even moreso as it drags on and takes longer to resolve.

Hi there!
Look in the bug tracker. There are no more major issues, only the documentation. So the gold Edition is near. The only stopper until now is the transformation from LLC to something other. But I do not know which tasks there are needed or how long it will take.
But you are right: If the release is out there will be a great rush in this community. And they already said that some minor issues, not really worthy to talk about, will be solved after release. So it could be every day?

Thing is, development isn't *bound* by that stuff - only release is.
If it were down to me, I'd have been working on the dev stuff in the background so that when the legal stuff is done, it's ready to go.
As it stands, nothing's being done *until* the legal stuff is done - which means that even after that roadblock is dealt with, there's still going to be a wait while 2.0 is finished...

QuoteTranslation: Some of the developers may have decided to essentially put the project on hiatus until all legal matters are resolved.
That's the thing. The legal matters do not block *development*. They block release.
As it stands, we're waiting for the legal stuff, then another few weeks minimum to clear up the 40 or so outstanding bugs + testing. The legal stuff has already taken months, it may well take more months yet - THEN you have a further delay while the actual development ends.
I don't really see what the problem is with doing the development, finishing it off behind the scenes so that come the legal resolution, release can just *happen*.

Things should not stop just because the license thingy is holding up. And what about new versions? visions for the future and all that? I know some stuff is brewing
but there's very little of PUBLIC topics to say "hey, we are the SMF team and THIS is what we like SMF to become.." Even a small visionary blog post now and then would be better than this silence.Stagnant might be a good word for the current situation.

The developers have given up at this point, and I don't blame them. Why would they want to spend their own time on a project that may just die because of the legal stuff? If I knew my work might never see the light of day and I was just working in my spare time, I'd probably do the same thing.
See, that's condemning SMF when it isn't dead!
Even though I'm incredibly biased, even I would not be so heartless as to call it dead.

It's not dead, but I sure as heck don't blame the developers if they would rather not work on SMF until issues are resolved in one way or another.
Then they should put on pink hiatus badges
Slacker badges sounds better.
More seriously, replacing hiatus with slacker could very well cause offense if on a membergroup.
I was seriously joking... -_-
Although the legal stuff is pretty demotivating, it really isn't the reason for the lack of progress development wise.
I have had plenty of unfortunate events with my life during the past month or so and haven't been doing much coding. Norv and Antechinus have been caught up in real life as well.
I'll try to write up a quick development update for 2.0 in a few days. I know Norv has been working on a blog post about future of SMF, a small visionary blog post, as Bloc calls it, and he should be posting soon too.

Wow... been waiting for a final 2.0...
I know I may sound foolish for suggesting this (yes I'm optimistic), final release for 2.0 should come with new default theme (including for SMF website)... it should mark a new start after a really long journey...

SMF Curve is 2.0 finals new theme
sorry for being out-of-date... a firework display?
Curve was a great enhancement indeed..., but 2.0 final is taking so long, that curve it is already "not that new"
First of all, SMF 2.0 Final is close. Beyond that, there will not be a theme change with SMF 2.0 Final, as that was what Curve was designed for anyway.

It was relatively new in November 2009 when it was first made publicly available.
For such a gap between 2009 and 2011, at least SMF should come up with a cosmetic lift for the Curve theme.
Besides what was the new theme for 2009 can not be the new theme for 2011. We've been seen this theme for a while already..(and still no final yet)
So coming final, a refresh look won't do any harm...
ummmm.... no
I see your reasoning, but I don't fully agree. In addition, as Kindred just said, it's not going to happen.

I know that, and I totally agree with that. I just said that upon the 2.0 Final release, Curve won't be "a new theme" anymore but still, it is a great enhancement since Core (I believe that was the previous default theme's name).
The default themes always stayed for a long period - which was most often tied in with major releases, before any RC versions etc. so its no surprise the 2009 design have not been changed.
SMF 2.1 or what the next one will be, would be a prime candidate though. Just not sure when that will be, or if the team has started on it already? Which IMHO could been a good way to kill the time while waiting for legal documents...2.0 final is almost here now, good! Whats next?

What's next? We wait some more 
But after release it gets interesting.
First the SMF team. SMF2 has been in the making over 5 years, so will future development be restricted to the same slow, slow speed? Or has it been so slow purely because of all the 'dramas' that have abounded, and the team will emerge on a post-v2 gold world with renewed vigour and determination to take SMF ahead of the competition again?
Second, the gold release of v2 will allow release of 'forked' versions of SMF and I know already of one in development. Thus we will not only be able to chose what mods we install, we will be able to choose what base software to use.
Interesting times indeed

Sure, but if there's slow development there'll be nothing to release

Mantis (the bugtracker) has seen a spike in activity recently which could mean that clear skies are ahead. Plus all of the legal thing-a-mabobs will soon be settled and then focus can once again shift back to the development of the software.
So at this point it might be safe to say that most of this stormy weather will soon be a thing of the past.
Safe? I'd love to have your faith (or innocence?).
Competition is good for the consumer and so as a 'consumer' I hope both the SMF team and any fork or forks are successful and drive each other forward.
I'd love to have your faith (or innocence?).Competition is good for the consumer and so as a 'consumer' I hope both the SMF team and any fork or forks are successful and drive each other forward.
It's not faith. I'm just taking the information that i'm seeing and basing an conjecture around it. Plenty of team members have reported that the roadblock to getting all of the legalities completed is now behind them and progress can continue. And seeing the pick up on Mantis it seems like the Team is getting back into gear to prepare for when all of this is completed.
I agree that competition is good, and the main thing that was holding SMF back from being able to compete at it's best was all of this transfer stuff. Now that things are moving forward again I would say that at the very least we should see things with a positive light. The same light that is at the end of this dark and dreary tunnel.
Norv has said that preparations will be made so that future releases will occur more quickly. We can either take his word for it, or not and still end up in the same place (so we might as well trust that he is correct). And everything I have said before, mainly about Mantis, is evidence that the team does indeed have renewed vigour to get everything back up and running again. Those were the very same questions you asked before.

Hi there!
The very last spike at mantis last only one day ... so that is not much. I think thze one sign missing makes more troubles as it should be and at this stage this could be the death knife to SMF.

Come on now, can't we be optimistic here? SMF is not going to die.

What's wrong with a little pessimism?
I knew it'd either be you or Arantor following up on my post. There's nothing wrong with a little pessimism. But you realize this pessimistic attitude has been going on for a long time now, right? And granted, I know WHY. But really, it's time to move on.

Someone needs to push the team, eh??
I've never thought SMF would "die", regardless of the controversy which seems to be an unfortunate entity within the project now.
I've watched people come n go for years, watched arguments flare and dissipate for years, witnessed the "loss/corruption/silence" of some truly inspiring people for some time now, luckily some "change hats" and stay within the community. But there are always others which come through and help pave the way, fill the gaps and bring forth the sense of excitement which fuels such projects.
As an end user and moderate contributor, I give thanks to all that have helped the project reach it's current status, and admire those battling against the 'system'(for lack of a better blah blah) for improvement, stability and the step closer to .............. perfection?? ?? ... or Completion.
Thousands use this software, and thousands use the 'enhancements' offered. This will always be the case, Unless another project takes hold of the reigns, and creates that .. WOW factor, which I believe SMF still holds against the others.
I for one cannot wait to see and experience the first release of the 'fork', and also future ideas brought forth by mod developers, themers and those which share their ideas informally.
They call me Sabre, Im half asleep, drunk, lookin for a pack of chips, and this is my nonsensical reply.
Thank You for reading, and NO you may not have that minute of your life back.

It's not the duration, it's the why. SiNaN has said himself that all of these troubles has been demoralizing for the Dev team. The sign that they would want to start picking up development again means that they see that there is finally and end to this.
Or it could just be that SiNaN was able to get some free time and work on fixing bugs. Who knows.

Instead of telling us to move on, why not lead the way? Instead of telling us how it's going to be wonderful and shiny, do something towards making it so, like suggesting bug fixes.

Some things are left unforgivable and unforgettable.
Dismal Shadow... BS.
Nothing is unforgivable or unforgettable.
Nothing is unforgivable or unforgettable.
Can you back up your statement with some evidence?
what? That nothing is unforgivable or unforgettable? just look at history and the revisions thereof.
History cannot be erased nor forgetten, I know of no reason why the SMF January split should ever be forgot.
You obviously are not actually a student of history.
History can not only be erased and/or forgotten, it can be re-written.
As for the specific instance of Simple Machines.
1- You, like much of the public, have no idea of the specific details of "the SMF January split", so every time a non-team member cries that cry, I shake my head in bemusement at the psychology of groups and followers.
2- with only a few exceptions, the people involved in that split are no longer on the team. The ones that are are working within the new organization (see next point).
3- the entire organization has since been reorganized - such an attempt could not happen with the new organization.
4- the SMF Friends and team who were involved in one side or the other have all moved on. Why can't you?

If many of the real affected people had leave J10 behind and move on already why a regular person can't 
Kindred, your reply looks like it's saying everything's fine forget everything people posted publicly about the split
yup, pretty much.
All of the people directly and indirectly involved have let it go, moved on, or rejoined.
The only people obsessing over it, these days, appear to be those who were indirectly and tangentially involved in the fallout conversations.

To your last point, I would say that most of them *have*.
many != all
many = mayority

Dismal...
actually, I am a student of history (although most of my interest ends at about the 1800's).
And you are distinctly and very obviously wrong. History can (and frequently IS) rewritten -- sometimes it is immediately re-written. Remember "history is written by the winners".
Perhaps I should be more clear though.
$events != $history;
$events['perception'] = $history;
and perception is very easy to change.

Well, I'm just a user but surely you jest when you say it didn't affect "those who were indirectly and tangentially involved in the fallout conversations"? The delay in development caused by the issue affected all SMF users. Right now I think the only real thing most of the users obsess over is when SMF 2.0 FINAL will finally be released. (Yes, I know, when it is ready!)
no... I never said it didn't AFFECT the general user population.
I said that the only people who are still obsessing over the occurrence itself (as opposed to any delays in releasing 2.0) are those who basically got involved with a "OMG, I can't believe what I just read. OMG, me too"

It'd be interesting what would be said of AeMe if such a thing *did* happen
Care to back up your "beliefs" Dismal ? Kindred already did
well, dismal... we've gone tangential to the original point... why do we have to re-write anything to do with SMF's history? As I have said, WE (i.e. those of use involved with it) have all moved on, why can't you?
Live... I really have no idea what you are on about or what AeMe has to do with anything said here.

It's the most ridicolous concept of saying this small as a software internal thing in comparision of something that can't be forgotten, such as a tragedy...

Well, you misunderstand me, lets use your "lose a relative" example to illustrate my point.
Lets say (hypothetically of course
) your friend lose a relative, a sister.He will certainly will not forget his sister, because hi is in a lot of pain, thats totally understandable.
but you, who barely spoke to her and barely knew her, you have way more chances to easily forget about her and continue with your life. (your friend will do the same eventually.)
In SMF case all those (or the big majority) directly involved have already move on. And if those who really experienced what happen already move on, why someone who wasn't even directly involved haven't?
note that I didn't say that J10 was easy to forget... because its not, so please do not misunderstand my words.
see my point?
And I'd agreed with you.
Oops a double post there
Yeah, my cellphone was kind of a moron in that. As I was saying, I would agree with you but you're talking what other people should talk... who are you to tell me that the damnified have move on, but forgive? I mean, if I feel offended, insulted, attacked (whatever other thing you might want to add), I would move on but I would never forgive or forget...
That's not how it works...
That's not how it works...
who am I? no one... I wasn't even a registered member here back in January 2010...
I'm not saying anything on my own... I'm only echoing what they say.
True, they can move on and not forget about it... after all they have all the right to do so... they (people directly involved) can chose not to move on or move on, thats their decision... a decision that only belongs to them... regular users and those who wasn't directly involved has nothing to forget or nothing to move on as is the case here.

Well, some people believe that those same errors shouldn't happen. Not again.
Both parts have a reasonable point. But making a "revolution" in something like this, is kind of useless since they don't have any power or live knowledge of what the others might think. And I (myself and no one else) think that the people who move on, actually are being kind of pushed away in what they express to be "moving on".

Thats the thing, we (you, I and all the people who wasn't directly involved) do not know the full story and do not know the full details... so making assumptions based only in what we read about it (usually just one side of the story) its pointless, again, if the people directly involved does not care (for X or Y reason) why we do care?
Thats my point, let the people directly involved handle their issues, we, the spectators have no right to engage in their issues.

Very true. Once you get on the team and read through the archives of the team boards, you discover the truth.
Not quite right, remember true is not an absolute but a relative definition
The only thing you discover by being a team member is a lot of info, nothing else, nothing more. how do you interpret that info, well thats another story
The only thing you discover by being a team member is a lot of info, nothing else, nothing more. how do you interpret that info, well thats another story
That's something that the other arguers should think, not us. People is free to act as they actually are affected or not...
which is exactly my point... you should tell that to Dismal and not me...
again, (and Im tired of repeating myself) people directly involved have all the right in the world to talk and discuss J10, the rest of us (you, Dismal, I, etc) cannot.
You cant write a book's review if you only had read half of it.
Edit, just for clarification purposes.
You are free to act or to think whatever you want about J10, problem is when you firmly believe you have the "true" or you are "right" when in fact you're ideas cannot be "right" or cannot be the "true" if you are unfamiliar with what exactly happen back there, the issue here is not weather if you can have assumptions or not... its the fact you simply cannot express those assumptions as "the absolute true". Nobody can.
I have my own assumptions about it, but I'm not posting my ideas around every time I have a chance... because I know my assumptions are incomplete and most important, it ain't my business

Very true. Once you get on the team and read through the archives of the team boards, you discover the truth.
It wasn't just in the basic team boards, it went higher than that. Places you'll never see. A lot also happened in private IRC channels and IM. You don't know the truth.
It sounds like a pompous thing to say, but none of you were there, so you'll never know or understand what happened or why it became what it did. If you weren't there, just forget about it. It is no longer of any concern to you. Just as MAS said, nobody who wasn't on the team can fully understand it, so you all need to just let it go. It's insulting to those of us who had to go through it when you spout on about it.
You are insulted... as you allow yourself to be.
Nobody asks anybody else to read a certain comment or comments, you do so of your own free will. So you alone reap and/or suffer the consequences/benefits.
Curiosity is a gauge to find more information, and your subconscious generates your own thoughts to share, in order to be corrected or approved by those 'in the know', which then increases your own knowledge of events.
Those which were not directly involved know they do not hold the whole story book, but by putting their feelers out, they gain another page.... {dejavu} .....or rustle a few feathers, like so.
I know, I know... "stfu Sabre, you dont know either", yeah yeah.. but Im waiting for my Maccas, and replying here was a nice way to waste time lol
Good luck to all, Good luck to none ~ good luck to me, my Maccas have come!!

People move on if they want to. I was around and caught up in all that happened back then. As has been said, most of us have moved on. We will never forget what has happened and we should not. You all look at what happened as a negative thing. Yes, SMF did go through a dark time but it survived and is now, growing stronger than ever. If you all want to dwell on the past and not help SMF move on to the next stage, that's your choice. I choose to help it along and nurture it's course to where I know it should be. This is the goal you should all be focused on....not what has happened, but what will..

Dramas, dramas, dramas..., and what about talking about what is really important? SMF's future?
I was one of those tens (hundreds?) of forum admins who thought about moving to another forum software, and I didn't because at that time the other admins didn't wanted to. Now they want, and I don't. Things change, and SMF seams it's changing so I want to wait and see what's up to happen. Instead of talking about dramas, what about another SMF update? What about talking about another topic with news regarding SMF software and what's up to come after all the bureaucracy's done? That's what's really important for most of us, not the past dramas. If isn't solved, it's up to those involved to get over it and just only them.

Quote from: ~V~ on April 29, 2011, 02:34:41 PMYou know - I was one of those that were effectivily kicked out of the team without any warning back then. I refused to accept the way I - and many others - were treated back then. I also stayed away for a longish period after that, and took part in the work to rebuild bridges and fix the bigger issues of the team and corporate structure.. After I saw things were really moving towards the better, and I saw more and more our demands from J10 and after being met - Guess what, I'm back again, and working for the team that once "stabbed me in the back".Quote from: Miss All Sunday on April 29, 2011, 02:01:38 PMDid they REALLY?

I forgot, I forgave, and I aimed to make myself useful again in a project I still love.
Now, tell me what reason do YOU have to not let go of the past?
I rarely visit this section of the forums but since this topic is in the Developers' Blog and titled "Finally, an SMF 2.0 Update", I thought that it may be worth reading since I assumed it had something to do with the progress of SMF 2.0.
After reading through 12 pages I discovered that this topic is now more of an SMF team member debate rather than an update with the 2.0 software.
Perhaps the topic title should be changed. It now seems a bit misleading to those who may be interested in the actual progress of SMF 2.0.

Hi there!
The community is now after several years and very much updates and rc´s and almost several months again very, very sensibilised ... the only way to hold them is to communicate, every single step forward, but what do they do?
Total radio silence ...

I don't think "total radio silence" really describes the situation at all... The fact of the matter is, there isn't much to tell as far as I know.
We have told you that we are in the process of transferring the project completely from the LLC to an NPO,
and that process is currently going fine after some delays with getting signatures etc.
We have also told you (when RC5 was released) that the team is working on getting final ready and out the door ASAP
after the transfer is complete.

4 people directly involved have told us their point of view and told us that they already have move on... which of course does not mean J10 is totally forgotten... nobody has said that...

People move on if they want to. I was around and caught up in all that happened back then. As has been said, most of us have moved on. We will never forget what has happened and we should not. You all look at what happened as a negative thing. Yes, SMF did go through a dark time but it survived and is now, growing stronger than ever. If you all want to dwell on the past and not help SMF move on to the next stage, that's your choice. I choose to help it along and nurture it's course to where I know it should be. This is the goal you should all be focused on....not what has happened, but what will..

You know - I was one of those that were effectivily kicked out of the team without any warning back then. I refused to accept the way I - and many others - were treated back then. I also stayed away for a longish period after that, and took part in the work to rebuild bridges and fix the bigger issues of the team and corporate structure.. After I saw things were really moving towards the better, and I saw more and more our demands from J10 and after being met - Guess what, I'm back again, and working for the team that once "stabbed me in the back".
I forgot, I forgave, and I aimed to make myself useful again in a project I still love.
Now, tell me what reason do YOU have to not let go of the past?

yup, pretty much.
All of the people directly and indirectly involved have let it go, moved on, or rejoined.
The only people obsessing over it, these days, appear to be those who were indirectly and tangentially involved in the fallout conversations.

It sounds like a pompous thing to say, but none of you were there, so you'll never know or understand what happened or why it became what it did. If you weren't there, just forget about it. It is no longer of any concern to you. Just as MAS said, nobody who wasn't on the team can fully understand it, so you all need to just let it go. It's insulting to those of us who had to go through it when you spout on about it.
What does this have to do anything with V?
Using a modified V's phrase gives you a hint?

The people who know, ain't talking, the people who are talking... don't know.
Move on

I not following up SMF from past some time, but I think it's much better if we leave this thread for developer's to talk i.e to give us update about the upcoming gold release.
Did that one last person we needed a signature from, who was supposed to sign last week, actually do so?
Yes all signatures have been collected.
Hi there!
Ok that is a progress! so whats next, what is missing for releasing?

finishing up on open dev issues and making the build.
just because the paperwork is signed does not mean "we release this instant" since, in all the time it took to get this done, additional bugs were reported and fixed (or are in the process of being fixed)

Things are moving along though. We are not stagnant anymore, waiting around for things to happen. We can now make things happen.
Hi there!
Ok that are good news, which really could be reported and no need to be secret to the community ;-)
So now it makes sense to look at the bug tracker, some of the last months it was more frustrating to look there.
When the major and block issues are done it seems well to await a release within days I think (this step had we already ... last year!).

A release won't be within the next few days but it is getting closer. I'm not even sure when a release is scheduled for. No one but the Devs no that AFAIK.
c23_Mike,
there was no hiding it... I would have thought that it was obvious.
but as for "last year", there were indeed plans to get this all done last year, but legal stuff got dragged out, etc etc etc.

Believe it, cause it did. SMF is moving on.

You're welcome.
* Fustrate likes to believe that he was the one who made it happen
Keep Dreaming Fustrate!
Oh and changing that "Former Troll" to "SMF Offical Troll" in your sig would probably be more appropriate.
