Thank you, thank you, thank you! No more no less, thank you 😊

😉  Always nice to get a release out the door!  Thanks, FinPete!

What a beautiful release! Thanks and thanks! I heart you guys. 😊

Categories now has a native file upload for the catgory image! Thank you!!!!

One Q came to my mind: Does the “show my name onh the online list of users” now work in Forums or are we all still anonymous?

Any news on the gallery conversion feature for us 1.x users waiting to upgrade? :(

I have one lil wish for upcoming releases that comes with new things with them: Would it be hard to make a video to show us what/where and how new things actually work? Now i have to first find them from docs, then find them from CP and then test those. Anycase, updated my personal site already and seems to work nice so far 😊

We have releases planned between 2.3 and 2.4 for add-ons (Discussion Forums for example).

Been asking this every now and then generally, but as far as i can see, there is not going to be any “planned” releases, not for the forum or Wiki that both needs badly it.

@Andru- the planned gallery import ran into some theoretical and practical issues that have set things back, which I do apologize for.

@FinPete- the videos are a good idea (we did some for the last release), though it’s not likely ever addition could make it in.  But knowing they’re a boon, we can definitely aim for the vids for the bigger changes.  (Goes and puts in note to consider one for the upcoming editor in 2.5.)

@leeaston & FinPete, I know this forum release was just small bug fixes but we do have a development branch in active development with more significant changes.  So it’s not a matter of ‘if’ so much as ‘when’.  But it’s not being ignored.

Yikes. Is EllisLab still promising to support those of us who are waiting on the gallery import on 1.x, even after support for 1.x officially ends? I believe Les promised that before (actually yes, right here: http://ellislab.com/forums/viewreply/957349/), and I just want to make sure. As of now the options are to either throw away all of our galleries and upgrade to 2.x so that we can continue to get support, or keep our content while we wait (which we’ve been doing) but risk losing support since there’s no tool that will allow us to upgrade and keep all our content online.

Robin—If you run into development issues which will cause you to be unable to deliver something you’ve promised, the thing to do is to tell your users what the problem is, and how much longer you expect you’ll need.

Hi Andru (and Linda & others waiting),

Its obvious that the Gallery import keeps running into issues and pushed back. I am truly sorry about that. And yes, we will keep our support promise if we don’t have a Gallery solution by the time EE 1.x support ends, we’ll continue to provide support for EE 1.x users + Gallery.

It took longer than expected to test & debug them internally. Right now they are in private beta on a couple of large sites (one over 400k members). I’m meeting with Robin & James to finalize the release schedule based on where we are right now with the code. We hope to get them out Q1 of this year. Once we have a concrete ship date, we’ll post it on the EE Blog.
