Dolphin 7.0.2. Released.

It wasn't exactly the easiest couple of weeks, and time is still tight, so I'll be prompt. Dolphin 7.0.2 is now officially released.

What's really important in this release is that we've changed all service callbacks to make sure your sites are not disrupted should BoonEx.com go down. FFMPEG converter updated to a new version and a bunch of tickets (76) resolved. Ah, yeah, and we've changed that default setting in database pruning. So, it's more a service upgrade, but a very important one.

No date so far. Depending on how 7.0.2 goes we may be able to work on 7.1. We have interesting plans and experiments waiting, so news are on the way.

will you be able to make d7.1, d7.2 backward compatible or is it going to take a legal action? you have created us a great deal of problems with this. please read my previous post.

learn from microsoft or any other legit software company. All upgrades are back version compatible.

I've answered your question before. Dolphin 7 is backwards compatible, as much as a web script may be. Microsoft is providing desktop software, not open-source web software and still they loos compatibility over time. IE9, for one, won't run on Windows XP. With your 33 mods installed, there's no way we would be responsible for your upgrade troubles. YOu should either work with mods providers or merge updates with your code.

@hashemi: Many web software modifications and extra components lose compatibility with major releases, due to the large amount of changes that take place, such as the removal of a function, or a change in the way something works that makes a certain modification cease to work properly. As such, it is the responsibility of the developer to ensure they keep their offerings up-to-date and compatible with the latest release of the supported software. Even Windows and MacOS lose compatibility with certain see more applications over time, as there are changes to system components and API that leave certain functions, or even entire applications, unable to function. While such companies as Microsoft and Apple try to retain as much backwards-compatibility as possible, even they admit that by doing so, they hinder the true potential of their offerings, because they must support legacy applications for companies which refuse to adapt.

This is a natural part of software development, and must be done to ensure progress.

I get the following in the popupwindow when I try to compile language - Language files compilation have been failed. Please check folders permissions.

Plus an additional "Database error in querry".

I still can't post in forums and get this message "Access denied. You must have advanced status at least to access this area or you are not logged in."

First time I'm upgrading (from 7.0.1 to 7.0.2)...and I don't see the list of affected files and database tables...???!!! Or am I missing something?

Where is the list of files and database tables that have been changed from the previous version?

Yes you are missing something. The upgrade patch has all of that information

Sorry but I did not find any detailed listing of all the files and database tables affected by the upgrade. I downloaded the patch, and could not find such list to compare to list of files and database tables I've modded.

Maybe you can point me to where exactly is such listing?

@Dezzy... The patch IS the list. It contains only the files that were changed from 7.0.1 to 7.0.2 You can look at the various sql files in the upgrade folder to see how the DB is affected. If however, you want someone to type out a list for you, expect a long wait.

@Houstonlively

Yes, obviously the patch IS the list. No argument there. But the point I'm making is that it's standard in software development (as I've seen in other product upgrades) to provide a separate detailed list of affected or added files and database tables. It's not hard to do if it's done as items are updated. Yes, we can all trawl through the patch to see folder by folder, file by file what files are included...and then do the same for the database. But that's not necessary if see more a consolidated and simplified list was initially provided. There's many advantages to having such list. For one, it says us time by allowing us to directly compare with our list of modded files so we may start to work on necessary files, and it keeps us from possibly missing a file or database item. Furthermore, the list isn't necessarily a long list depending on the amount of upgrades with the delivery.

I guess you just have not directly experienced the benefits of such list. See other arguments from Deano and DM. You'll see I mean:

We never provided a full changelog, true. It would be nice to have this though, so we'll consider.
