vBulletin.com Announcement: vB4 Alpha Update
Author: Steve Machol
Published: 08-28-2009 09:45 PM

I just wanted to provide a quick update on the status of the vB4 Alpha testing program.

We have already released Alpha 2 to the test team. As you would expect this version provided a number of bug fixes and incorporated some of the very useful suggestions coming from the testers.

To date most of the reported bugs have to do with relatively easy-to-fix template issues. However as with any Alpha version there have been a number of code bugs uncovered. To that end we have set up a bug-scrubbing…

For the next version of BuddyPress there has been a fair amount of re-factoring work done. We’ve listened to your feedback from version 1.0 and made a number of internal changes that are going to make your lives as plugin developers and theme designers easier.

One of the biggest changes in BuddyPress 1.1 will be the way themes are built.

In version 1.0 BuddyPress required two themes to function. The first theme was a “WordPress home” theme that handled the blog and front page of your site. It was essentially a standard WordPress theme. The second was a “BuddyPress member” theme that…

I’ve pulled the trigger on the first stage of my site re-theme.

Right now, it’s still a pretty clean slate. I’ve switched over to the Thematic theme (actually a child theme using Thematic as its template), and done just a few quick stylesheet fixes and personal plugin tweaks. Currently, there are still a few warts which I need to iron out (some sidebar styles on sub-pages that need fixing, and such).

More major style/branding changes will come later, but this “tabula rasa” state of things will help motivate me to continue making changes.

If you spot any obvious glitches, please feel free to…

In my last few announcements I’ve reported the team’s progress on the last few remaining tasks, particularly porting templates to the new CSS-based markup and some additional enhancements and debugging in the new CMS.

I’m happy to report that, barring any surprises, we’re still on track to start alpha testing the Forums product next week. All of its templates have had their rough conversion done, and more than 95% have been integrated. After the last few templates are integrated, we’ll do a quick round of regression testing and fix whatever showstopper-level bugs we find, then alpha testing can begin.

A few…
