So, this is one of the areas where you guys can help a lot. So far, new releases of JForum were made available to final users when it "got done".
What is happening with version 2.1.7 is the same thing that happened to previous ones: releases, schedule, bug fixing and etc was centered on a single person (aka, me), which obviously doesn't work so well when you have other things to do.
I would love to have some assitance on these aspects (and not only coding - organization as well).
Answering your questions:
:arrow:
When it should be released: I don't have anything else to add, related to bug fixing. There are a lot of features that are interesting, but they don't have to wait for 2.1.7. The only thing we have to do is to freeze 2.1.7 and
test it (including the web installer and all databases).
:arrow:
What new features it will include: For this, I suggest creating a new page on the
Documentation, like a "Release notes for version a.b.c".
:arrow:
When it will be turned into a release candidate where only bugs will be fixed: Ok, I'm used to the use of RC's, but in fact I never made a RC for JForum. We can use it for version 2.1.7 already.
What do you think?
