It is not safe to use in production (possible != safe). However there will be an upgrade path, so it's very very likely any data generated on RC1 will be upgradable to the 3.0.0 gold release. Of course we provide no warranties to the operation of the software under any condition anyway (read the lic...

You don't enter in a MOD, it's not datum. You apply a MOD. For a MOD designed for 2.0 to work in 3.0, you would have to completely re-architect it from the ground up. None of the search seeds are the same, not in the PHP files, neither in the TPL (now HTML) files. All the sub-systems have changed, j...

To answer the original question posed in this topic, which hasn't been answered surprisingly enough :roll: It took several months to move from RC1 to Gold. Several of the RC releases took several months in themselves, others only took a week or so. As for what will happen with phpBB3, it's something...

Staying up to date with CVS requires technical knowledge. It is not for the feint hearted. There are no automated update scripts, and the database changes often. Database changes require you derive the queries to make the change to the schema. It is best, and easiest to just use 2.0. At the moment, ...
