If we haven't released before that, I will be releasing the beta from whatever state SVN is in.

Personally, I would prefer to wait until the new mark up has been committed.

Sheesh people, give the Dev's some space, pressuring them will only lead to errors, this isnt their day job, they aint getting paid todo this, so please back off, your not 5 years old in the candy shop...

or are you

Ledo · 2008-06-02 13:35:53

I have a question for dev. I don't care if these beta comed out yesterday or in 10 day time from now.

I yust hope u enjoy doing what u are doing and that you are pleased with the outcome. I hope we the user will be please evan more.

But the question i have is what are the plans. When do u think is reallity of publishing 1.3 stable release that will be made for wide usage.

Beacose only then we will be able to make our boards avalible to the public.

What are your plans? Thanx for replay.

First carry on with the good work guys. Flux is looking great and improving weekly.

Dont take this the wrong way.
But! Please dont give deadlines in the future. I wouldnt mind so much but it is really not required and personally I think it makes Flux look bad. Im guessing a deadline was something that rickard would of stopped.

Meow · 2008-06-02 13:53:55

They can give deadlines but I think they cannot give deadlines too early.

Been knocked offline all week thanks to hard drive failure, ethernet card failure then an RJ45 cable split. This is great news to read after spending a week offline ~ looking forward to diving in to RC when it's posted

Deadlines are always difficult. People always ask for them, since just having releases randomly pop up can be difficult. Developers always find them difficult to follow, since there always seems to be more stuff to do, distractions that get in the way, etc.
I don't think the solution is to abandon deadlines. Without deadlines, we might as well be in an endless loop of adding new features and testing them. That was part of the reason we put a deadline in for this release: so we would have a feature freeze at a given point and from then on work on polishing the code, fixing bugs, etc. What we need to do, however, is to be more accountable for our deadlines. We need to be more proactive in making sure we meet them.

That being said, I found out I won't be here in 3 hours, when I was supposed to "release" the beta. That, coupled with the fact that people have been asking me not to release until we have the markup, which is one of the most important changes in the beta, means I'm simply going to be providing a link to download the current revision without releasing it as the beta. Once we have the markup in place, we'll release the beta for real.

You can download the current revision using this link

Franz · 2008-06-02 18:05:28

That is great to hear. I could wait another week if the changes aren't made. Don't panic...

Myself I'm much more waiting for the language freeze than the final markup, but it seems to me this is the logical course of action.

The frozen beta is probably just a couple days away anyway, not a big deal.

Do it best!
Don't worry about the release time!

Vovochka · 2008-06-02 18:50:37

Few days sooner or later, it doesn't matter.
Good luck!
Let b3 be a real release

ftornell · 2008-06-02 19:44:31

Wasn't fluxbb the spin off since Rickard at punbb.org didn't have enough time?
Ironic? Cheers!

adama · 2008-06-02 23:41:58

Take it easy. I'll wait for the real release beta 3.

Delay again.

I don't mind delays if it results in a better product.
