Dolphin 7.0.4 Beta is Here!

Hot from the oven (hm... sounds creepy for "dolphin"), Dolphin 7.0.4 is ready for anyone willing to test-drive the latest and greatest. Major highlights of this updates are:

 

- Anti-spam functionality (rid your site of those annoying pricks that litter the Internet)

- Speed improvements (we're not ever going to stop on this one)

- Media Server update (finally, the latest version of RED5 adapted)

- About 100 bug-fixes

 

We don't plan to keep it Beta for too long, so any quick testing is highly appreciated. Note, hower, that there will be no update packs from this beta to the final release.

As always, please, post your specific reports at Dolphin Betas and RCs Forum, and keep this post comments for general impressions. Basically, if you want developers to see your post and work on it - post in forum. If you just want to express your opinion, say something general about this release, and you don't expect a reply - feel free to comment to this post.

 

As you may see, we keep polishing 7.0. We just don't want to proceed to adding any significant new functionality and preparing 7.1 until everyone has a very stable, fast, secure and capable software.

 

NOTE: DON'T USE BETA FOR LIVE SITES. DON'T DO IT. DON'T. DO NOT.

Nathan Paton
@UFO360: You'd rather not have the community test this release beforehand to make sure there's no outstanding issues?

Downloading now.

7.0.4 Beta Today
7.0.3 49 Days Ago
7.0.2 159 Days Ago



We waited a 110 days (3 months, 20 days) for 7.0.3 and you complaing that 7.0.4 beta took 49 days (1 month, 19 days).

It is a GOOD thing that boonex is asking for help testing the new features. Otherwise we may have to wait for 7.0.5 to fix a bug caused by 7.0.4

at last but will there be a upgrade from 7.0.3 to 7.0.4 for a modded site with other developers apps.
Andrew Boon
There will be an upgrade pack for 7.0.3 to 7.0.4. Naturally, depending on your mods you may or may not have problems with it though.
Nathan Paton
@magic123: As always, sites will have to take their modifications into account when upgrading. I recommend you take the time to make sure your site can upgrade smoothly before applying any patches, such as making a test installation based on your current site and getting in touch with the developers for the modules and templates your using to know when they'll update their offerings to be compatible with the upcoming release.

Oh I got a headache.....anyone have any Jack Daniels on hand?...Beta huh....well okay if we must.. :-(
Andrew Boon
There's your reason why we're doing BETAs on Fridays ;)
Nathan Paton
No matter how hard you try to tell people not to use the beta for a live site, someone is still going to do it and then come back here to seek support. But I do like your effort.
LightWolf
Yes I completely understand....But still could use a shot of Jack..lol
LightWolf
Magnussoft it does make for good reading though when they do that..lol

This is a big release. This release is like a nail in the coffin for all others trying to compete against Dolphin :)
I am wondering if we can find out how the new media server (Red5) benefits the end user? Like will it produce better video quality, faster streaming etc?

Thanks a lot!

OMG.. I just like totally upgraded my site with 7.0.4 and like.. Now it doesnt work and stuff.. like.. what should I do?? OMG !!

Yes that was my best "valley girl" impression..

This is great news Andrew.. Especially knowing how much work I will have to redo in order to upgrade :(
(due to customization).. Of course I will wait for final release before upgrading the "live" site even though some will not...
rhimpr
Testing it out.... Great " valley girl " impression. LOL

@UFO360

Now there shouldn't be a lot of rooms, since all rooms which are created by regular users are deleted automatically when there is no people in it - this is new option in 7.0.4 and it is enabled by default.

Anyway this ticket is addressed and fix will be in future versions, most probably in 7.0.5:

LightWolf
Zarcon you are too funny.
LightWolf
You do know this new beta still shows as D7.0.3 on install page..yes? Cause mine does..lol
Nathan Paton
@LightWolf: There's a changeset that just went through that changes the version numbers and release dates in the script. You'll see these changes in the second beta.
houstonlively
So, I'm guessing 7.0.4 final will be released a few hours?
Zarcon
@ HL - depends on how many people decide to test it.. We have Magnussoft hoping for a second Beta (hahaha) but who knows.


@ Lightwolf - Glad you enjoyed the valley girl.. but I blame it all on the alcohol.. Its all your fault..
