Bloodsurfer:
Um mal ein kurzes Update zum aktuellen Stand der Dinge zu bringen - kürzlich wurde die zweite Beta von SMF 2.0 veröffentlicht.


--- Zitat von: Simple Machines ---Simple Machines is pleased to announce that the second beta of SMF 2.0 has been released to our Charter Members.
 
This release marks an important step for SMF 2.0. After five months of bug quashing, feature development and a general clean-up we are now much closer to a public beta release. SMF 2.0 is now, in the most part, feature frozen and we are aiming to allow the public to participate in the next beta. We're going to be doing our best to have a much more frequent release cycle now as we move towards release candidate stage, but we have some important template changes prior to in the next beta. As well as the general improvements in Beta 2 we've also reengineered the database security model within SMF which we believe should offer users greater protection against malicous attacks - you can read more about this here.

Listed below is a brief summary of some of the changes made in this release:

    * Improved permissions interface
    * Added support for multiple attachment folders
    * Added winning birthday emails from the SMF contest
    * Added option to prune logs automatically
    * Added means of viewing search/replace operations when installing a mod
    * Added interface to edit and add language files
    * Made custom profile fields searchable on the memberlist and other improvements
    * Added auto suggest control and used it on personal messages
    * Added flood control and CAPTCHA to search
    * Fixed repair boards to work with different database types
    * Added mass topic mover to the maintenance section, and changed the maintenance area templates.
    * Added admin and user logs
    * Added redirection boards
    * Added paid subscription feature - only currently supporting PayPal
    * Added search engine tracking
    * Made numerous improvements to the WYSIWYG editor


Regards,

Wie auch schon die erste Beta ist die Beta2 nur für Charter Members verfügbar (Leute, die einen Jahresbeitrag für z.B. besseren/direkten Support an SMF zahlen und dafür auch neue Versionen früher bekommen). D.h. für uns erstmal nicht wirklich relevant.

Man sieht aber schön, dass die Entwicklung voran geht, und die Beta3 soll dann so wie es aussieht die erste öffentliche Testversion werden - dann wird der Zeitpunkt kommen, um intern schon mal ein bisschen damit zu experimentieren, vielleicht mit Templatedesign anzufangen etc.
Nach der dritten Beta sollen dann, wenn ich mich richtig erinnere, noch ein oder zwei Releasekandidaten kommen bevor die finale Version erscheint. Es kann also gut und gerne noch Monate dauern, aber es geht voran.

Nur der Vollständigkeit wegen, hier ist die damalige Ankündigung der ersten Beta (nur damit man die neuen Features auch mal komplett im Überblick hat, die in obiger Ankündigung fehlen):


--- Zitat ---Simple Machines are proud to annouce that today, 25th August 2007, the first beta release of SMF 2.0 is in the hands of our Charter Members.

This beta release marks a significant milestone for us, and is the culmination of over eighteen months of discussion, coding and testing since work began in January 2006. We expect it will be quite a few months more before we're ready to release the first public beta but in the mean time feel free to check out Introducing SMF 2.0 for a taste of things to come. You can find out more information about the Charter Member program here.

Below is a summary of some of the new features that can be found in SMF 2.0 - with more to follow:

    * Database abstraction - with support for PostgreSQL and SQLite planned alongside that of MySQL.
    * Automatic installation of packages into themes other than just the default.
    * Email templates to simplify customization of forum emails.
    * Moderation center including post, topic and attachment moderation - to allow approving of user content before it is made public.
    * User warning system.
    * Additional group functionally including group moderators and requestable/free assignable groups.
    * WYSIWYG editor to provide an intuitive user interface to those users not familiar with BBC.
    * Permission improvements such as group inheritance and permission profiles to further reduce the complexity of the permissions system.
    * File based caching for a performance increase on all forums regardless of whether an accelerator is installed.
    * Mail queuing system to stagger the sending of emails to improve performance on large forums.
    * Advanced signature settings to allow the administrator of a forum to more tightly control the contents of users signatures.
    * Personal messaging improvements including ability to automatically sort incoming messages and a variety of display options.
    * Improved upgrade script with better timeout protection and simpler user interface.
    * Custom profile fields to enable administrators to add additional member fields from the administration center.
    * User configurable posts and topics per page; an improved calendar interface.
    * Option to allow guests to vote in polls.

Regards,

Simple Machines

Lasst euch nicht von den fünf Monaten abschrecken, die zwischen den beiden Betas lagen. Ab der aktuellen Beta ist die Version im Feature-Freeze, d.h. es kommt nichts neues mehr hinzu, sondern es werden nur noch Bugs gefixt und die Stabilität wird verbessert, also sollte von nun an alles etwas schneller voran gehen.

Havoc:
Schön :biggrin:

der Dude:
Wollte nix neues aufmachen, aber auch ich habe eine erfreuliche Nachricht zu verkünden:
Joomla 1.5 Stable ist vorgestern im Goldstatus! Nach so langer Zeit endlich ein Release!

Ich werde meine laufenden Großprojekte und meine Klausuren abschliessen, im Anschluß können Bloody und ich unsere Köpfe zusammentun und hier was richtig Feines auf die beine stellen. Die erste große Aufgabe wird denk ich sein ne vernünftige Bridge zwischen Forum und CMS zu basteln.

Bloodsurfer:
Yipiiiiiiiiiiiie! Wenn das mal net geil ist :D


--- Zitat ---Simple Machines is extremely proud to announce the long awaited release of the first public beta of SMF 2.0.

SMF 2.0 has now been in development for over 18 months, and in beta with our Charter Members since August last year. Feature complete, and having undergone considerable testing and bug fixing, we are now ready to put it into the hands of the public for wider testing.

Importantly, this is a beta - and the first public beta at that. We strongly recommend that you do not use this package on a production site as it will contain bugs and issues. In addition whilst we'll do our best to support people running the beta our support team's primary focus will remain 1.1 during this period - so please be patient if you do experience a problem. Also, we request you note the following caveats:     All existing mods and themes are almost certain not to work until their authors have an opportunity to rewrite them.
The upgrader will do its best to upgrade previously installed themes. However, this is not fool proof and you are likely to need to tweak old themes and update them to take full advantage of SMF 2.0 functionality.
Language packs for 1.1 will be out of date and need updating - this might take some time.
Users who currently integrate SMF into their site using any of the non-standard SSI functions (Such as using the db_query function) will need to change their integrations to use the new query system in 2.0. More information on this can be found here.

The changes in this release from 1.1 are immense - and we can't list them all here. We recommend you take a look at the changelog on the download page - some of the highlights include:     Database abstraction including support for PostgreSQL and SQLite
Post and attachment moderation - setup through board permissions.
Additional group management features such as group moderators and joinable and requestable groups
Comprehensive user warning system.
Paid subscriptions to allow people to make a payment with PayPal to get additional group access
Personal message labeling system and new viewing options
OpenID support - to enable users to login and register with their OpenID account
Custom profile fields to enable admins to setup new profile fields in addition to the default
WYSWIYG editor, to improve the user posting experience
Ignore boards and ignore user functions - so users only see what they want to see
Scheduled events and mail queuing systems to add additional functionality to the forum
Admin and user logs to track who makes what changes to a user's profile
A moderation center to bring together all moderation functionality into one place for all people with moderation abilities

The download packages are the same as for 1.1 - simply choose the install or upgrade package depending on your requirements. If upgrading please, please remember to backup first. Please do not use this topic for support questions - use the dedicated 2.0 Support Board. Guides for installing and upgrading can be found on the Online Manual. Note that downgrading is not possible.

On a quick note to mod and theme authors, we are currently working through the templates to move towards more semantic HTML layout. Unfortunately we didn't complete this in time for this beta, but this will make the next release, so please bear this future change in mind when looking at updating your mods and themes.

Finally, we thank you for your patience and hope you enjoy using this software as much as we have enjoyed making it.
