VaultWiki 3.0.7 is compatible with vBulletin 4.1.0 Beta 1

What does this mean for vB4.1 (no Beta) which is available since two days?

Thanks

vBulletin 4.1.0 is still actually beta, which you will see when you go to download it. I don't know why they left this out of their announcement, since they usually discourage customers from installing beta software.

Hm, I can't really follow. In the download-area vB 4.1.0 is the actually version (also in the ACP). No word or anything else about "beta" there.
Confusing.....

vBulletin 4.1 is also now available as a public Beta. This can be downloaded from the vBulletin Members Area at: http://members.vbulletin.com
Please note:
* We do not provide support for Beta versions
* Some minor bugs remain unresolved at this time, and we do not recommend beta software to be installed on production sites.
* We always recommend that you back up your database fully before attempting to install beta software.

I have posted my 2 cents at vbulletin.com. For the time being it's up to them to set the record straight: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...=1#post2081868

I've put together a timeline. This is another debacle that we can blame IB for because apparently they released 4.1.0 before it finished QA, so they called it Beta 1, even though they didn't intend for a true beta period. Here's what happened:

• Nov 23
  
  1. vBulletin.com releases 4.1.0 Beta 1 (which is just 4.1.0, before passing QA)
• Nov 30
  
  1. vBulletin.com releases 4.1.0 (not beta, it finally passed QA, but probably contained more bug fixes).
  2. You download 4.1.0 (not beta).
  3. But a bug is found and they remove the download in a few hours after release.
  4. The announcement doesn't acknowledge that it was different than Beta 1, but I personally check the download area anyway. I can only download Beta 1. This causes a belief that it was just another announcement to remind people.
• Dec 1
  
  1. VaultWiki 3.0.7 is released
• Dec 2
  
  1. You ask if 3.0.7 is also compatible with 4.1.0 (not beta).
  2. I personally check the vBulletin Download area, and 4.1.0 (not beta) is still removed. I post my response.
  3. vBulletin.com releases 4.1.0 PL 1 to fix the bug found Nov. 30.
  4. You personally check the vBulletin Download area, and 4.1.0 PL 1 is there. My response confuses you.
  5. I personally check again and now confirm 4.1.0 PL 1 is there now. I post on vBulletin.com.
  6. After receiving several responses, I put together this timeline.
  7. VaultWiki 3.0.7 is confirmed working with 4.1.0 PL 1 and the release announcement is updated.
