Is there an ETA for the official 2.0 release?

[jr777]

I was just wondering how close we are to an official 2.0 release.

 

[Brad Padgett]

Same here. I hope it's soon. I don't want to upgrade until it's official and our style creator releases the new version of our style.

 

[ManagerJosh]

It will be finalized when it's ready.

I have notice that there is no beta 8 this week...

 

[Mike]

It is very close now (talking a matter of weeks).

 

[Carlo]

More than a week now and still no Beta 8...
Crossing my fingers for an RC!

 

[Kevin]

It is very close now (talking a matter of weeks).

Oh, dang, I gotta' hurry up getting our current theme ported over!

It is very close now (talking a matter of weeks).

That is great news! Thank you for all your work on the new version.

Well the gold version of an importer from VB4?

You can do vB4 -> xf1 already and then upgrade to xf2

I would prefer not to do that. I have 4 million posts, which would take a long time to convert for each test.

I love the work you guys put into this software keep on rocking

The additional upgrade step doesn’t take that much longer, we did a test upgrade on a site of a similar size that took around 30 minutes

The importer built into XF 1.5 is going to be considered more stable for a period of time. The import code in XF2 is brand new and the implementation of the actual importers will take time (though they are in development as we speak) and they will be mostly untested.

As much as we would appreciate people doing test and live imports once they are available, if you're mostly concerned with having a quicker and more hassle free import process, importing into XF 1.5 first and then upgrading to 2.0 is the recommended action.

Once you have done the import into 1.5, we would recommend making a back up of that and then doing test upgrades on that backed up 1.5 installation.
