XF 2.3 ?

Call me cynical, but poor communication is endemic in IT so I tend to live with it. For instance, the big enterprise software companies publish wonderful multiyear roadmaps but IME they are written by marketing, not dev, with the result that they are promising features that are still years away or that turn out less exciting than made out to be in the shills. I can think of cases, esp. involving a certain Seattle-based software company, where XF's tight-lipped approach would have been preferable to the marketing spew that we got.

Could the XF team be more forthcoming? Probably. But if that means the kind of overhyping and overpromising that I get from the big companies, I'll live without it, thanks.
Sure, it's much better than being lied to, but look at what we're comparing it to, pretty much the bottom of the barrel.
 
Are we ranting about this again? I mean I guess it's fun to talk about. It'll come when it comes.

What does everyone hope it'll have?

What does everyone think it'll actually have?

Now that's fun to talk about.

What does everyone hope it'll have?​

  • Thread, Resource, Media Custom field indexing, filtering, and search
  • Unified "what's new"
  • Social Groups style 1st party addon or built in

What does everyone think it'll actually have?​

  • Thread, Resource, Media Custom field indexing, filtering, and search 🤞🤞🤞🤞
  • Something we didn't ask for but maybe is neat
 
I just found out what some of th new features are:

  • Compulsory maximum 2 posts per thread
  • Infinite scrolling.
  • Dissimilar threads widget
  • New thread type: pointless speculation with telepathic voting
  • No images allowed without a cat in them
Right :)
 
{Everybody talking about XF 2.3 and I'm over here just waiting for the official patch to fix the emoji issue & others introduced with the last update. It seems very un-XF-like that an update has broken something and we haven't seen patches yet.}

Due to it being the holiday season, perhaps?

True. Though I imagine if it wasn't ready to fix prior to Christmas, that's why it's not out yet. They probably don't resume usual business hours again until Monday maybe.
 
Please don't stop what you're doing or change your plans.

To be clear, it could be anywhere between now and 23:59:59 on 31st December 2022... It won't be that long but hopefully you get what I mean.

Further, it's not like we're blowing up the code like we did for 2.0. Typically add-ons designed for one version should work in another, and, if you're using a well-known developer, chances are, if changes are required they will quickly update their code between the public beta and the stable release.
Any updates to this?
