Dolphin 7 (Hookie) RC5

Previous RC performed very well and only a few glitches were found since then. So, RC5 is here today!

Along with the previous RC releases, this one comes with a proper upgrade script too, which will automatically update your files (unless you made script modifications) and will keep the site data and settings in place.

Please, try this package and let us know how it rolls.

I was sure that we will have RC5 in less than 48 hours....and I think it only took 24 or something like this!
djkk1

Why, on God's green earth, would you release another RC two days after you released RC4?

Have you guys at Boonex completely lost your senses?
CALTRADE
God I hate to agree with you - but this is BEYOND STUPID!
LightWolf
Someone is going to get coal in their stockings this year for all this crap..lol I am so with you on this Houstonlively. Merry Christmas hon and Happy New Year.

I guess this is what you guys meant by releasing 7.0 final when tickets between each RC were low enough.

Well... I suppose churning out an RC every two days, is ONE way to reduce the number of tickets between RCs. Unbelievable.

WoOoW, fast work and Great news .. I'm waiting the final version

thank you Boonex :)
CALTRADE
Yeah, great news for you because you are not installing it. For the rest of us it is terrible news.

HL,
im going to have to ride this one with you. What would prompt an RC5 when you as developers have clearly stated that there are a large number of tickets that are pushed to 7.1?

RC4 and RC5 in a matter of days, HL if you recall that is the way that 6.1.5 and 6.1.6 were dropped on us.

Boonex, this is not exactly what would be coined D E V E L O P E M E N T.

get a grip guys, you released RC4, and two days later you drop RC5, so should RC4 be abandoned, and it was a premature mistake to see more set it public?

This is hurting everybody who has business here boonex, its hurting your license sales tremendously, if you were a perspective customer and you followed the number of RC releases, and see that rc follows rc two days, how excited would you be to jump onboard with this extravaganza?

not very likely, boonex this was off the hook to release an rc two days after one RC was released. i know you guys are chomping at the bits to drop the Final on us, and pretty much after RC3 we were all pretty ready for it and the fact that we now have more of an open ear than on any other releases, we as a community was ready to take on the task of helping get 7 stable.


then out of the blue, you come up with new access and approach levels, where you wish for the very people who have given you the feedback needed to bring D7 to a stable position, a new pricing structure, where they would be placed in an environment of cost to post, maybe not to the forums, but post to trac, seriously, you want to offer that as a perc of being a member of this community.

so here we have boonex with x-number developers, betas release, rc's release, community provides feedback on what does and doesnt work. boonex sets up a price structure and states that if you desire to post in the blogs or forums its going to cost you money, and if you want to submit tickets to our fair weather program 'yeah' you got it, its going to cost you money.

i have been a part of several development communities, and not one in the 20 years i have been on the internet, would require you to pay to submit a trac ticket.

i will most likely get admonished for this post, but it is what it is.

Regards,
DosDawg

The only thing I can think is that they want to do as much damage to people actually using this software as they possible can. That is the only thing that explains their entire development approach.
CALTRADE
Why did you - or anybody - give boonex a thumbsup vote for this?
Technoman
when you see it in 5.5 and then 6.6 and then what 7.7 you know what to expect onwards .... a chain reaction of a broken script...

It seems like this whole thing is a mess and it aint getting better over 4 years it ONLY getting worse!!!

I think its time we vote and have a petition to get rid of AlexT and bring on CodeSatori onboard to change this around for the better like i have said in other other posts and threads!

Boonex needs a change of present programers and it wont get better if you see more let them continue they way they are constructing this

(Trust me for once!)

AlexT is screwing with all your heads and if he was such a good programmer the old errors and bugs would of been fixxed already with out questions!

can anyone fix error display unicode in video chat ?

I would seriously like to ask one question about these D7 releases.

why does each one still hold the D 7.0 flag in its compressed state as well as its uncompressed state.

i would like to do a DIFF on everything from v-6.0

if any of you members have the originial zips and would provide me with a download link, i wish to create a historical directory of what transitions have been made.
elcentcom
you guys take my breath away, lol.
Anyway, seems to get close to final.
Thumbs up

Merry X-Mas and have a great Christmas Eve everyone
Technoman
someone is having fun hitting the negatives on us dawg ... hmmm I just wonder who that would be

so far upgrade went smooth, I even didn't have to adjust language file this time.

Previous RC performed very well and only a few glitches were found since then.


Hmmmmm, i wonder why. When you only give us 2 days to test it. Of course only a few glitches would be found. Not to mention it's the week before christmas, so may of us have other things to do besides test dolphin.

Hi there,
I was thinking about working with Dolphin for a huge community site. As far as I can see, 3 RCs after my last post, there are still the most essential menu items (like profile, modules etc.) showing script errors (files not found, obviously for wrong paths).
This does not look like a serious project to me anymore, so I will stop messing around with Dolphin...

Kind regards from Austria,
eliZZZa
ronklein3
you obviously did not host or install your dolphin correctly. there are no path errors as you describe. there are only small bugs at this point, if you host, install and set your settings properly.

Ok, I guess i will put my thoughts into this.. As I am a fairly new member of this community and testing the D7 software, I can not help but wonder why Boonex does not listen to some of there (what i think) most active members. They are the ones donating there time to help other members. When I got started I had issues and most of them were solved pretty quick within forum.

From a business aspect of looking at things, I think there is a mis-communication or mis-understanding here. Don't push rc see more versions out just to get final out, fix the major issues and then release a stable final version that doesn't have 120 tickets for 7.1.

I understand there will be bugs and such but I have seen some major tickets pushed to 7.1. Fix it first then release.. This is how you get negative feedback, loose new members and upset your most valuable asset; active helping members stabilizing issues.

I was ready a week ago to purchase prime license but after reading forum posts and seeing rc versions being pushed I have held back purchasing.

Just My Thoughts,
Dan
Merry Christmas To All!
CALTRADE
Thank you for being a voice of reason Dan. They absolutely aren't listening to their members, and with this decision, are showing they don't even care.
CALTRADE
Do you guys have any clue of how rude this is? Any at all! Do you even know what it takes to run your system in the real world. I can't even express what I really want to say right now, as I would likely be kicked off this forum.

see moreOk, everything i like in D7, but two thing no one from boonex wants to take a look to fix them... First thing: date and time (i have server located in the US and i am from Europe so i have time diference, so when user send message for instance they dont see real time but have to add +9 hours in they mind to see when is message is sent), Second thing: IP Black List... dont make any sence, it supposed to have IP address of member so you can see which IP you block, i think IP have to bond with user.
