VaultWiki4

[pegasus]

The Alpha Team, which is comprised of a small number of current customers, is still testing the new release. There is nothing new beyond that.

Pegasus, could you update us on the status of VW4 for XenForo, and VW4 for IPB?

[pegasus]

We have begun internal tests of VaultWiki 4 against XenForo and IPB hosts and fixed a significant number of cross-platform issues in VaultWiki's Admin Panel. Preliminary results indicate that the install process is successful on these other platforms. We are currently building a VaultWiki4 -> VaultWiki4 import process so that we can test all platforms against the same data set, and begin public Alphas shortly thereafter.

Thats great news. Let me know when you need beta testing of the IP.B integration. I will be glad to help with that.

I can't wait for vaultwiki4 for 3.8!

Hi,
what is about VaultWiki 4 for vBulletin? Status ?

[pegasus]

For vBulletin 4 is pretty much ready to go (just need to export it to ZIP AFAIK). We should be launching that in a few days.
For vBulletin 3, users will have to wait til next release.
For vBulletin 5, users will have to wait several releases.

For XenForo, pretty much ready to go, but there is still some error checking we need to do since XenForo has a higher error sensitivity than vBulletin. May launch same day as vBulletin 4, or a few days back.

For IPB, users will have to wait til next release. There was a significant new IPB version in the past quarter, so we still have to update some things.

Nice - go for zip ;-)

What will be new in version 4 ? Is there something here on the page i can read ?

Claw Snuff did a series of blog videos on VaultWiki 4. There's a lot more she hadn't covered, but sadly she has moved on to other endeavors. We are currently considering other people in our area to continue the work she was doing.

Anyway, here's some of her videos:
https://www.vaultwiki.org/blogs/50/
https://www.vaultwiki.org/blogs/51/
https://www.vaultwiki.org/blogs/52/

A little bit has changed since the videos. They were all posted before the Alpha started, and the team has been really great about suggesting how to improve some things. For example, there are more on-screen instructions and some terminology is changed.

We intend to update the main site to VaultWiki 4 today.

Our configuration is not really standard since we are trying to execute VaultWiki directly from SVN. This takes a bit of trial and error - we can't use the config we already made for our test builds since the paths have to make sense in the context of the live install. On top of that, there were still some problems with the upgrade script. To mention a few, that resulted in some revisions not being copied correctly, some permissions being missing, and some pages not having the right URLs.

I think we have resolved all these issues now, so we would be trying to upgrade again tomorrow. After the upgrade though, even if the wiki itself is copied fine, there are a lot of scripts we run that rely on wiki functions in order to work properly, like our shopping cart and our Members area. These need to quickly be updated and stress-tested. If this can't all be handled in less than a few hours time, it will be put off again and stretched out over several days.

thanks pegasus - when you think there will be vaultwiki 4 ready for public to see it and test it - because in you post it sounds that it will take much more days or weeks?

Do you have a list with features of the new vault wiki 4 ? maybe to compare with wiki 3 ?

There will be also a welcome discount for example for the new vaultwiki 4?

Thank you in advance

It will not be many more days to see it. Like I said, it was mainly flaws in the upgrade script (which have been fixed now), and us not using the right paths to the SVN (so we kept getting errors that files were missing). It sounds like a lot of work to update our custom plugins, but it's really not. They are localized in a small group of files that we have marked on a task list.

I haven't compiled a list of VaultWiki 4 vs VaultWiki 3 in one spot like a blog. I could try to do something like that today or tomorrow, for those of you who are curious.

Every time there is a new major version (as with 2 and 3 so far) we tend to increase the price after some weeks (the day will be announced ahead of time). Users who purchase before that day will pay the current price and they will get the same great software as users who purchase after that day and pay the increased price. After the price increases, there will also probably be a promotion or coupon to go with the release, but I'm not sure about that or what it would be.

We will not increase the price before users can buy it, and we won't have a 'pre-sale' for users unless they want to use VaultWiki 3 for a while.

Would it be safe to say that by next week we will see Vaultwiki for xF?
