VaultWiki Roadmap

[Alan_SP]

will this version (3.0.12) work with old vB (4.1.2)?

[Alfa1]

Are there any plans to integrate VW4 with Joomla?

[Alfa1]

You can always check the milestones for VaultWiki to see what we have planned, and the tentative release dates for those changes. See this page.

Whats the current status and planned release date for VW4?

Pegasus when can we expect version 4 it has been postponed a few times now and i think more people are waiting.

According to the update tracker thingy, Alpha is close to completion, but beta won't be released (projected) end of September...

[Alfa1]

Now a year later, the alpha is looking nice, but there is still a lot of work to be done.
I would be surprised if its released this year. Is this impression correct?

The alpha would have been released already if not for our recent displacement for the better part of a month. Really the only work that needs to be done, including a number of suggestions you yourself made, are minor template and phrase changes. I don't foresee much progress being made this week, due to the holiday.

[Alfa1]

So you are saying that VW4 alpha vbulletin will be available this year?

[pegasus]

VaultWiki 4 Beta 5 either today or tomorrow. Just have to package and update upgrade instructions.

Any roadmap for the IPB version of Vaultwiki?

Thanks

Hey Pegasus, any luck with this today? I'm trying to migrate to my new site as soon as possible and I've got a day off coming up.

[pegasus]

Beta 5 is available as of this morning. Sorry for the way-too-early post above. When that was posted, I didn't realize we hadn't yet written the upgrade script for Beta 5 (which, as you'll find out, is somewhat extensive).

[Alfa1]

When can we expect beta 8?
What can we expect for beta 8?

Is it your aim to make beta 8 production ready for vbulletin?
A version that can be installed on live sites will result in a lot of testing and bug finding, which will allow VW to make a significant leap forward.

[Alfa1]

Pegasus: could you share your plans with us?
What is functionality is slated for the next release?
At what stage will you feature lock vaultwiki, work towards gold and then keep working out the bugs?

As you know I am anticipating some of the functions that are planned and will upgrade as soon as VW4 offers a feature set that is significantly more valuable than VW3. I guess a lot of webmasters will migrate only once there are enough compelling reasons.

At the same time there also is a lot of value in getting a stable Gold release out, which will be good for VW3 users to migrate towards. Once that happens VW4 will be used a lot more and a lot more bugs will be discovered.

Previously with VW3 we had a time where there was a continuous flux of new bugs being found and new features being added. This had the problem that there was not a release that was almost bug free. It would be valuable if VW4 will be different and if we will see a normal release schedule where new features are only added to 4.X releases, and bug fixes continue in minor releases until no more bugs are reported.
