Wait or not

Postby Krupski » 23 Jul 2010, 09:50

Hi all,

With the new PHPBB3.1 / 3.2 "Ascraeus" coming out, I wonder if I should bother to deploy a 3.07PL1 board or wait for the new one?

The reason I ask is that I add several custom mods to the board and I would have to go back and do them all over again for the new code.

Anyone have an idea as to approximately when the new version is coming out?

The only answer you'll probably get is when it's ready, they never give out release dates.

Hi Roger,

They just feature froze 3.1, which doesn't necessarily mean it will come out soon. I'm estimating it would take at least a year before 3.1 is actually released.
So it just depends on how long you want to wait. Another thing to consider is even after 3.1 is released, it will take some time before MODs are available for 3.1.

In the past with phpBB, they never give out release dates (as Les pointed out), but they do have a history of taking a long time to release a new version :nea: , so who knows how long it will actually take.

Thank you that's what I was looking for.

I know nobody can give an exact date... I was just looking for a general idea.

With what you said, I guess I'll deploy 3.07PL1 and wait for the new one.

Thanks again!

So if we upgrade to 3.1 when it comes out it will basically overwrite existing modded files?
