"Dolphin 7 needs to be completed."

So right. We decided to follow this advice and do exactly that. We are completing Dolphin 7 now. Once done - we'll call is Dolphin 8, just to show how it's REALLY completed. And, since some parts of D7 actually prevented us from completing it for a long time now, we'll just rework them.

Thank you for advice.

Thank you andrew, is it at all possible to layout some timeline as to what the community can expect in regards to fixing the bugs that are in Trac. Since you are rebuilding from the ground up, for your Dolphin 8 release, then none of the as-is source is really going to be any good to you, but those in the community who have built their environment with Dolphin 7 need these reported issues addressed, and some idea of when they will be released?

Please, could you find some time to put together see more a schedule of events that you can release to the community. i am not asking for dates of when you will release Dolphin 8, that is not what is important at the current time. Getting the reported bugs that we all worked hard on, testing, confirming, colaborating, and reporting so that they could be fixed, only to have to watch as everything that was reported in Dolphin 7.0.x marked for version 7.1.

Then your announcement that Dolphin 7.x has been abandoned, and there will be no build of 7.1. Yes you state that Dolphin 7 will be completed and you will call that Dolphin 8, but honestly that does nothing for the community. The community would like to know when those bugs are going to be addressed, when there will be a release with those bugs patched. That is what is being sought after, is an answer for those who are using the Dolphin 7.x platform, who have not abandoned it for some other option such as deciding to build a new environment from the ground up. There needs to be some consideration on what the community will do with what they have currently running, and how the bugs that have been reported will be addressed immediately.

Soon is not the answer, matter of fact soon is not an answer at all. So some brainstorming with your team, and some planning, would be a really nice start, and help this community understand how we are to continue with what we have currently whilst you and your two-man team build the most astronomical environment ever.

I look forward to what you get put together with dolphin 8, but at the same time, the matter at hand is Dolphin 7.

Can we please get some answers, real solid, answers.

"Service" updates such as 7.0.7 will be released as soon as their lists resolved as per the Trac timeline. Hard to tell now, but we're likely looking at about 3 weeks before 7.0.7.

As for other issues, those that soem consider as bugs, and perhaps even pressing, they simply have to be addressed in a more profound manner, in D8. Things like, say, padlocks, matchmaking, banners, access controls for blocks, etc.

Ok great, and thank you for the response. I can agree on modified access controls for blocks, but seems to me these were overlooked or omitted initially, and are not really what would be considered a per se' bug. Matchmaking, yes that is a bug Andrew, and where it has been an issue from version 6, i dont understand why it would be put off for two more versions when it was reported years ago. That is your call, and thanks for the clarification on it. Banners, i dont see as crucial, there may be some see more issues with banners for those that use them or desire to use them, but not critical functionality of the site considering the greater scheme.

padlocks, are hideous, and there seems to be some issues with those who attempt to utilize the privacy controls that were coded into Dolphin 7. they were reported on Beta, and slated for a fix, that never took place.

One of the issues i have personally and it is affecting a customer who is a prime license holder is the voting and tracking system. which was one of the major selling points on the client getting the prime license was to be able to track the polls and voting.

I am not sure I follow on what you mean by " as soon as their lists resolved as per the Trac timeline"

Do you guys have a compiled list of what is going to be addressed though Dolphin v-7, and what is going to be moved to Dolphin 8? There are some who need to know this in order to know how to position themself with the site in its current state?
