Pagasus can you give us an update on development of vaultwiki 4.0 what is the estimate completion date.
Updated completion estimate is 2/15/2011 for Beta 1. As I mentioned in another thread, this is taking into consideration only the vBulletin version and preserving existing features without making any new ones. Keep in mind that we are rewriting VaultWiki from scratch, not simply updating some classes or database tables. This is a huge undertaking and difficult to gauge time based on previous updates because there has never been an update this massive before.
Sure, I guess the milestone should be updated.
Any idea of a rough ETA for XenForo?
XenForo will be Beta 2. We just want to get the new framework released and beta tested before we start adding too much on top of it.
Is VW4 still on schedule?
Yes, since we have pared down the first release to core-only, something should be ready for public testing very soon (finishing up the attachments back-end today). We will also post an announcement to let users know if they need certain features which versions to wait for to upgrade.
Good to hear can't wait for a test drive on IPS.
Pegasus can you give any updates yet because when i try to follow development i don't see much happening in the tracker. Really can't wait till i can try it on IPS.
We are very close to a public alpha now for vBulletin.
I spent the better part of yesterday updating the tracker, because, as you mentioned, there had not been much activity there in a while. Keep in mind that we don't have to reach 100% in order to release a beta. But we do in order for VaultWiki 4 to be considered Gold.
Pegasus any updates for VaultWiki4 when is the beta planned?

Well i think the editor is going to be pushed again to 4.1.5 or even 4.1.6 it can be months before we are going to see it in the live version.
That seems to be the case. And even when it is released, it remains to be seen if it functions. VW4 may be stuck in limbo for months.
I hope to see 3.0.12 in the meanwhile.
If CKeditor is pushed back again, we will release Alpha 1 without it. Our main concern last month was that the Alpha wouldn't be done until closer to 4.1.4 anyway, and for the sake of a healthy testing period, we didn't want to have releases too close together. It seems 4.1.4 is taking longer than we expected, and now for the sake of healthy sales figures, we can't afford to wait around forever.
Moments ago, vBulletin.com announced that it has upgraded to 4.1.4 Beta 1 and that it contained CKeditor. The site is still down to the public or I would link the announcement. This gives us about 1-2 weeks until 4.1.4 Beta 1 is public and we can get our hands on it. At that point we will add the necessary integrations and release Alpha 1 and 3.0.12.
They retracted that beta release as there were serious issues with CKeditor. They are back on vb 4.1.3
They are trying again in about an hour. They are hopeful whatever issues they had yesterday have been worked out.
On my end today, working on finalizing one of the areas I personally was not looking forward to coding - replacing posts-as-comments with a dedicated comment system. Almost there, just threaded-view and the comment-editor (minus CKe) to go. What else was there ever you ask? Well basically we wrote all the save actions and other processing before we did any of the displays. This is true of pretty much every part of VaultWiki except the tools I posted in that blog entry last year.
When approaching a release, vB templates are always second to last, phrases are last. I think in general this is the way we have always worked, except this time it was a bit difficult psychologically because it seemed like we would never literally see an end result.
I'm glad you are getting closer! My users are really getting antsy waiting for XenForo, but I can't migrate to XF until vaultwiki is migrated to XF as well. Following this thread with anticipation!
Hi, can you tell something about the public release date of vaultwiki 4 ?
No more than has already been mentioned. We are still waiting for vB 4.1.4.
VB is now on 4.1.6, does it help VW 4's progress?
Yes, as discussed here, we're back on track to releasing an Alpha very soon.
