When?
You can't wait. We can't keep you waiting. You need answers... here they go:
1. We'll release one more beta shortly.
2. We'll release RC1 by the end of next week.
3. Starting from RC1 we'll be providing update scripts/instructions for every next update, so, technically, it would be possible to use RCs for live sites (if you're brave and ready for possible frequent updates).
4. We're working on BoonEx.com and Unity now: adding Agents, Market, certificates, and more. It's a big change that includes fixes for many issues we've been facing lately. I'm sure we'll see much more activity here as a result.
5. Final release depends on RCs and Unity remake. Once both are ready - we'll fire the gun. 1st of November looks like the date (I hope so, and will keep kicking some butts to make it happen). It's quite clear now that D7 is operational and close to be ready for live sites - in many ways it's more stable than current version, so there's no reason for holding it.
6. iPhone app code will be available along with the release. Android App will come later.
7. From 7.0 we'll be releasing small/frequent updates and won't let the same drama happen again.
8. Thank you for waiting and participating, and sorry for being late.
The new Dolphin solution is powered by UNA Community Management System.
I actually think that is a smart move. I agree that although there are some "minor" issues, the version is pretty stable. What needs to be fixed can be done so in service packs or updates. I am hoping that the updates will only "update" the files that needs to be done and not require a "complete" reload/overwrite.
I appreciate you see more
You should probably write a novel with that title..you write good :D
Thanks for the headsup, I am really excited to see D7 going into release stage next week and probably I would be amongst the brave one's to go live with it asap :)
Cheers
your a pal Boonex!!!
OUTSTANDING!
and can i upgrade from 6.1.6 my live site to d7 with out losing everything?
License is about time and domain, not version. You can use any version of Dolphin on the registered domain within your license timeframe.
I waited an year for this to happen.
While I was logging into my account here I faced some strange things.
First this:
Notice: Undefined property: BxUser::$sGroup in /home/boonex/public_html/unity/system/classes/BxLogin.php5 on line 155
and then I got redirected to a porn site before I got through to my account. Not sure if this is a bug in FF.
I'm waiting for release my project by dolphin 7 :)

Thanks Andrew for Eight Energy Boosting Blog Points.
Andrew, good news on the release, not so good news knowing you have to release several patches and updates after you release. but hey, we can deal with it.

1, there will be an upgrade path
2, people can now start making live sites with it.
Big sigh of relief
:-)
Thanx Andrew
I have a suggestion for you guys, you should focus all your attention on the modules and templates system, those needs to be finished and tested before everything else, so the developers of such things can start working at 100% capacity.. No time to waste!
Best Regards,
Mario
P.S. Thanks for all the hard work Boonex Team!!!
I have to say that D7 is looking pretty good so well done on that. Really looking forward to upgrading though I may wait a month or so just to be sure that there are no major kinks as I have upgraded too soon in the past only to get multiple ear fulls from my members.
Just keep up the fantastic work. And guess what, I'm proudly Australian see more
It says: "1. We'll release one more beta shortly.
2. We'll release RC1 by the end of next week..."
Today is more or less the end of the next week, Friday, 23 Oct 2009.
I don't see a next beta (8), nor anything more about rc1. Not even an update on the post.
This makes if very difficult to plan a site building strategy and work a budget for building a site, which I think most of us are faced with.
So, If someone from Boonex is monitoring see more
If you folks don't have it ready when after you announce a date, at least have the stones to say something, anything to keep us aware that you're awake out there.
If see more
When see more
No software is perfect and expecting as much from the initial launch will cause unnecessary delays.
also can we get the iphone app for free? to work with our sites, and also when will the ray media server final version be releashed? for dophin 7.0?
Thank you for the 2 month ride while I waited and did not do anything to version 6
We have and show no interest in version 6.
We will begin preparations to remove Dolphin from our servers until you are serious about version 7
We will start to look for other solution as of right now because your are not ready with the version we was interested in
Boonex, why you write date? You don't know where it will be released..this is the problem!
17 tickets for RC...2 closed today...is this work?
Some tickets closed with wontfix....
