Creating resources for upcoming XF2

[Nulumia]

Just read the new Welcome thread for XF2 today and really excited to start working on some resources now that it's that close to a public version.

One question though, it mentions the current Preview build is feature locked and doesn't contain an updater -- would it be safe to start building styles on the current Preview build, and be able to upgrade later into the beta and official releases?

Or from a design standpoint, is it more practical to wait until the public beta? Basically looking to get a head start in porting over material from XF1.

I appreciate any insight,

We've been releasing XF2 developer previews for a number months - it would have been safe to start even then

Here's our developer documentation if you want to get started: https://xf2demo.xenforo.com/dev-docs/

If you're just using XF2 for development you don't need to worry about upgrading. In terms of moving your add-ons to the public beta or stable versions you would just use the developer tools to export / build your add-on and then install them again from scratch in the new version.

Good luck!

That's awesome to know and thanks for the resource link! I have about 14 styles and a custom theme framework that will need to be ported over little by little, probably should have begun earlier then as you mentioned

Looking forward to the work though and rebuilding from scratch for cleaner, optimized resources.

Thanks again,
