Development Discussion Board

fberci ,

No kidding here : Yes, you are right. It would make sense. I have already in here in an other topic commented in a way that I consider such a "prerelease" release likely already at 3.0.0 project stage.

Well,

Based on Stallyon's first post about "quick access" and the Error 403, one could consider to file a ticket in the 3.0 bug tracker :

includes/constants.php, linie 25 & 26 :

+ // QA-related

OK, Stallyon, back to topic ...

What do you think it is for, if you look at the code?

How about a switch for a call home feature for automatic version control for MODs installed? The contents of the file could be the cached data for all versions of MODs in phpBB .com's MOD database - the first step towards M$'s Win update, we also see in FF, ICQ, AIM, Skype, WLM and I don't know what ...

fberci,

I have split the QA thingy to a separate topic for discussion there. I think it's worthy a separate topic.

In the topic "Suspecting Gold very soon" fberci wrote :
Well, I don't think this will be a real RC like all the others were. This will be more like a pre-gold release. As you may remember, there were some hints that starting from 3.0.0 every minor release would also have a release candidate to make ...

- Not this weekend either - perhaps next?
