BoonEx Is Now A Responsible Teenager

Andrew Boon posted 2nd of September 2013 in Boonex News. 17 comments.

We've turned 13! Seriously! BoonEx is thirteen, by our count. Not too shabby for a tech company, yet still not even half-way of where we expect to be. The day catches us in the heat of the developing, designing and analysing. BoonEx has changed a lot over years, but the idea and the mission is the same - we are

Dolphin 7.1.4 Released. Boonex.com Refreshed. "I need everyone to continue performing admirably".

Andrew Boon posted 31st of July 2013 in Dolphin.pro News. 16 comments.

I must admit that the last few months have been tough. Times when we have to work on "service" updates are always quite... testing. So many plans and exciting features and improvements planned, but we do have to focus on getting what we already have right. A couple of handy features get squeezed in every time anyway, and this update

Android and iPhone/iPad Apps v1.8 Released and Available Now!

Andrew Boon posted 23rd of July 2013 in Dolphin.pro News. 17 comments.

With more and more devices appearing in Android range we had a few pending improvements in plans for a while. Today, we are announcing the release of v1.8 of both iOS and Android apps.

Stability, Security, Spam-Prevention and More - Dolphin 7.1.3 Released!

Andrew Boon posted 4th of June 2013 in Dolphin.pro News. 37 comments.

One more service update with important security patches, some bug fixes and most notably a bunch of handy functionality improvements. This is arguably the most worthwhile update after 7.1, even if just for the anti-spam features. Interestingly, spammers and spambots tried to infest our demo site, giving us a unique opportunity to monitor their behaviour and test the new anti-spam tools.

Responsive Layouts, Mobile Templates, Native Apps And Universal UI.

Andrew Boon posted 8th of April 2013 in Dolphin.pro News. 49 comments.

Dolphin is getting more attention from the perspective of multi-device compatibility. We have been looking for the best way to make Dolphin more "adaptable" for quite a while, but it seems that there is still no definite consensus on what has to be done. Moreover, the new solutions designed to tackle the problem seem to only bring more confusion.

Motives: Answers, Blogging, Business

Andrew Boon posted 27th of March 2013 in Boonex News. 10 comments.

We have announced Motives a few weeks ago and it seems to have been the right thing to do. Motives, being a type of curation based on "rationale", are easier for many newcomers to relate to, and they just help with choosing the right kind of extensions to work with. Even non-believers will gradually see motives making a whole lot of sense,

Dolphin 7.1.1 Released!

Andrew Boon posted 14th of March 2013 in Dolphin.pro News. 21 comments.

Early adopters started using Dolphin 7.1 Osho a while ago. Pragmatics, however, opted for wait-n-see strategy. Osho turned out to be a very successful update with awesome new features, fresh new look and great performance. It needed some fixes, though, so pragmatics may have been right.  Anyway, today we are presenting Dolphin 7.1.1, which should lure everyone aboard. It's a "service" update, but it does

The Big Documentation Overhaul

Andrew Boon posted 7th of March 2013 in Boonex News. 13 comments.

Something epic is happening - we are "reconditioning" the entire Boonex Help area and all the Documentation resources. Our goal is to go through every document, update it, streamline it, sort them all out and put them in order. BoonEx documentation is going to be great. You may notice that BoonEx top site menu now features "HELP" link instead of the

Dolphin 7.1.1 Beta Is Here - Help Us To Test It

Andrew Boon posted 6th of March 2013 in Dolphin.pro News. 8 comments.

Dolphin 7.1 was a big and very important release. It couldn't be perfect, though - so we're perfecting it. Today's announcement is about a 7.1.1beta - a quick "try it" version, which won't have an upgrade pack neither from 7.1 nor to 7.1.1final. So, we ask you to download it and test it on a non-production site. Again, this version

BoonEx Market Improvements - ATTENTION ALL VENDORS!

Andrew Boon posted 20th of February 2013 in Boonex News. 14 comments.

BoonEx Market is what makes Dolphin the world's most powerful social networking webs ite platform. Extensions and the people behind them gradually formed a strong backing for Dolphin - something we value tremendously and plan to stimulate further.   In the last couple of weeks we have made a few improvements to BoonEx Market and BoonEx site in general...

Dolphin iPhone-iPad-iPod-Android Apps v.1.7 Released!

Andrew Boon posted 18th of February 2013 in Dolphin.pro News. 20 comments.

Just as most of the web pundits predicted, mobile browsing is overtaking desktop. Facebook officially acknowledged  that their US mobile traffic surpassed desktop traffic for the first time. Virtually all of it comes from native iOS and Android Apps. We have been focusing on native mobile apps for Dolphin for a long while now and gradually they are maturing into a platform.

Introducing Motives

Andrew Boon posted 13th of February 2013 in Boonex News. 23 comments.

With the new Dolphin 7.1 we have a great platform for further development and BoonEx Market is getting healthier with more quality extensions appearing more often than ever. These are great news for geeks, but we see great number of people coming to BoonEx.com and not really realising the potential of Dolphin coupled with BoonEx Market offers.

Dolphin 7.1 Osho (final) Released!

Andrew Boon posted 10th of January 2013 in Boonex News. 64 comments.

Exactly 1111 days after the release of Dolphin 7.0 we're happy to announce the new "feature" update - Dolphin 7.1 Osho. Yes, it took us almost 3 years to make sure Dolphin 7 is stable enough and to create a new set of functionality and design that is now going to be the new flagship. Many web-masters already started using

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! [now with the giveaway results]

Andrew Boon posted 24th of December 2012 in Boonex News. 246 comments.

The 2012 is almost over, and it looks like there will be the 2013 after all. Which is great! We need the 2013, because it should be a great year - a year of new developments, pivots, re-discoveries and good fun. 2012 was tough, tedious and at times really challenging. Economies struggled, online businesses entered drier periods and "social networking"

Ongoing BoonEx Makeover - Market, Forums, Blog and The Rest

Andrew Boon posted 23rd of December 2012 in Boonex News. 9 comments.

It's a very HOT Christmas down here in Sydney. First, as I write this, we're reaching some +35C (that's about +95 American-degrees, which I guess went through some dramatic inflation sometime in history) and second - we're bound to have a busy working week. We need to deliver full release of Dolphin 7.1 ASAP and we also work on a

Dolphin 7.1 Osho Beta 2 Available Now!

Exactly one month after the announcement of the first Dolphin 7.1 beta comes the second one. As promised, it comes with an upgrade pack, so the brave hearts that stepped up a month ago can now use a much more stable version without data loss.    We are pleased to note that Beta 1 turned out to be fairly usable and a

Dolphin 7.1 Osho (beta) Released!

Andrew Boon posted 4th of November 2012 in Boonex News. 48 comments.

The long-awaited feature-update of Dolphin is now ready for the big play. Today's release is marked "beta" since it hasn't been tested as much as we'd love to, but it is already a fully supported version. This means that we will be providing automatic upgrade instructions and scripts for any updates from this build. Despite the "beta" marker this version
