We are about 3 days behind schedule since my previous
update. Late next week is still looking pretty good for a beta release of Active Forums 4.2 and Active Social 1.2. Obviously that is not a firm date, but development and testing are moving along very nicely. Active Social 1.2 is feature complete and going through internal testing this week. Active Forums 4.2 still has several development tasks remaining, but should enter internal testing on Monday. When we launch our new site you will know that we are just a few days from release.
The upgrade process for Active Social 1.2 will be very simple and should not cause any problems with your existing templates. The focus of this release has been the Journal Summary module, Events, Gallery updates and of course bug fixes.
The feature list for Active Forums 4.2 is quite extensive. Nearly every aspect of Active Forums has been improved. There is a 50/50 chance that this release will be labeled 5.0 due to the amount of new features and improvements. If you custom themes or templates you will want to watch this blog for updates. The entire theme and template structure has changed. We will provide you with plenty of information so that your upgrade will be as painless as possible.
