Well this is good I guess. I meant to ask - on another thread you said something like "the first beta" would soon be released. Does that mean that what happens next is a beta? Also, did you ever get to the "null" issue for searching - where you can't search with two fields because one of them will always select the default. This has been promised for years for 7.1.
By "definition" the first Beta may well be the last one, but by experience, it would probably take one or two more betas before the final release.
More importantly, however, and this is why I am touting this "first beta" thing so much, is that there will be an upgrade script from 7.0 to 7.1beta1, and if there're more betas - the will be interim upgrade packs. So, one can potentially start using 7.1 from the first beta, in case they agree to put up with frequent updates and see more potential beta-stage issues.
The modification you mention affects the profile fields structure.
Actually Dolphin 7.1 is not feature update, the main goal is to clean the existing features.
So we didn't implement any modifications which can affect on the structure of core code.
Well that is a major bummer - it was promised more than a year ago for this release, and not having it makes the search all but useless. It worked great in Dolphin 6.1.
