When do we expect the offical 2.0 Release?
Is there a FAQ about 2.0 yet.
What I have seen may change my plans for this winter.

    A very interesting question, also for me. I wonder if I will spend several hours searching and adding various add-ons the next days or better wait like a month and directly go for Vanilla 2.

    And now when i already signed in: Is it recommended to install the Vanilla 2 Beta or I better wait? Can you already say if upgrading from the beta version to the final 2.0 will be possible without a lot of effort?

    Personally, I went with Vanilla 1 as the functionality is much greater. We will upgrade once 2 is out for a few months and there are enough addons that justify the move. However, we needed forums to go up quiet quickly so if you can wait, I would wait and run the beta.

    I'm also rather interested when Vanilla 2.0 will officially be released... Wil it be 'in a month or so' or more like 'sometime next year'?

    It once was said, it will be October. (in a post here IIRC).
  • MarkMark Vanilla Staff
    What everyone is saying is correct. If you're looking for a stable core product, Vanilla 1 is the way to go until we make an official release of V2. We have said late October for a release before. We've had some setbacks since then, but we're working hard on the product now, so we're still hoping for that timeline.
  • pitjepitje
    thanks for the info :)

    awesome I cant wait. It will be very refreshing for my vanilla 1 based community to poke around and play with new toys once 2 is out.

    Tick Tock . . . Well is guess I would rather 2.0 be all it should be than be on time. I assume that the guys are cranking away. Is there a new realistic date?

    i agree, its taking ever so long for the stable release, i remember them saying august was the release date, as long as they give the date of the relase i wouldnt really mind if it was january, but give us the real date. thank you
  • venom5venom5
    I can imagine it's not that easy to name a specific date. Anyway I think all of us prefer a as far as possible bug free version instead of upgrading an instable rushed Vanilla 2 every second day.

    Just have a look at Blizzard's attitude - it's done when it's done! ;)

    Now that we're into November, is there any word on progress? Are we looking at 1, 2, 3 weeks?

    I have a project I'm working on and I'd love to use Vanilla 2 for it, but if it's going to be much longer than 1-2 weeks before release we might just have to go with punBB :(

    I don't care when it comes out, but I know it'll be worth the wait when it does!
  • Locochris05Locochris05
    Hello everyone, Just heard about Vanilla 2 last week. This will be perfect for my site.
    I am patiently waiting.... Actually I cant wait until it comes out! GO MARK!
  • SS ✭✭
    Do more... faster ;)
  • glowglow
    can't wait either for that vanilla 2. cheer up!
  • niekniek
    I feel bad to be bugging about it, but is there a new deadline known for vanilla 2?

    My project wants to use vanilla 2 (integrate it), but we can't (and don't want to) if it is still in beta.

    I am not asking to hurry up, I'm just asking if there is any date known so that i know what to expect
  • LincLinc Admin
    @Mark has been very quiet on the matter ;) I'm sure it will be unmissable once he's comfortable announcing it. There's quite a few of us similarly chomping at the bit.
  • MarkMark Vanilla Staff
    Yeah - sorry about the delays. There are so many things that need work still, and we don't want to drop it until it's ready for release. Nothing sucks more than a buggy piece of software. Things just keep holding us back. For example, I had to make the CSS improvements that I recently announced. Then, I wanted to make some theme improvements to the style.css file, so I created a custom theme and started working on it - thinking I'd replace the default theme with my changes afterwards. Of course, once I started working with the new theme, I noticed all kinds of inconsistencies in the xhtml of the applications. So, I started working on fixing those.

    That's how development has been going for the last few weeks (when I've had time to sit down and get development done). I do see the end, though. Pretty soon we'll be able to sit down and devote time strictly to the bug list and hammer through the remaining items.
