To avoid the same issue we always have prior to a new first or second point release, this thread will serve as the main place for all discussion related to XF3.

For 2.3 I think we were well into double figures for threads discussing it, so all other threads will be closed and pointed to this one.
Try and keep off topic and non relevant posts to a minimum to avoid them being moved to another thread, or deleted.


What is XF3?
XF3 will primarily be 2.3 with a new style.
The decision has been taken to increment the major version due to the breaking changes which will be introduced with the style.
There may also be some new features and functionality included, but the primary feature is the style.


What does the new style look like?
We don't have any screenshots or videos to show at this time, but here's a sneak peek of part of one of the pages in the ACP.

Is the code going to change? Will add-ons need to be rewritten?
No, there will be no rewrite of the code as there was from XF1 to XF2.
Some add-ons will need to be updated and all styles will however, due to the changed templates, style properties, etc.


When is it available?
There is no release schedule at this time.
This post will be updated as things progress but the most accurate date we have at the moment is some time in 2024, after 2.3 has been officially released.
 
Yes.
It's just to reinforce the point that we don't currently have anything to show.

Well, we do, as @Kier has been hard at work on it, but we're not going to at this stage.
Ha ha, okay, thanks, I just wasn't sure if you were having a go at us or had accidentally mucked the image.

Today after 6 months, is there more accurate estimation? Do you still believe it will be in 2024?

We have several customized addons that we need to pay for the coders to upgrade it to 2.3. We are thinking if XF3 is close enough to be released this year then we may wait for it and upgrade from 2.2 to 3.0
 
Will xf 3 release at the same time as xenforo 2.3?
I would prefer to upgrade to 3.0 directly than ti upgrade to 2.3 and then again 3.0.

Will there be betas?

No. But xf3 is literally XF 2.3 + a new style so all add ons compatible with 2.3 will work for 3.0 as I understand it. Unless they throw a curveball in.

Obviously you can skip 2.3 altogether and go to 3.0 as its been touted as being released soon after 2.3.
