1. Improvements to download area.
2. Feverishly working on version 1.6.5.
3. Second generation iPhones were shipped. (Like anything’s going to get done now!)
4. Release of 2.0 would have messed up Mike Boyink’s 1.6.4 classes.
5. Plans to make EE “mac only” were scrapped at the last second when EllisLab looked at their log files and found some people use something other than macs.
6. EllisLab/Adobe merger talks (shhhh!).
7. They thought HTML 5 spec would be approved by now.
8. Suspense!
9. No consensus on what word to use to replace “weblog.”
10. Intense debate on “When Exactly Summer Ends” took up too much development time.

I kid out of love. I was going to try to work in a “too much free beer” reference and something about the EE coffee mug, but didn’t manage it.

I just read that “was” word and my brains said “wuhuu, its released”... =)

PS. my english is not that good so i would be written that title like “10 reasons why EE2.0 is delayed”...dunno what is the right way!

Cheers!

Nice! Letterman, eat your heart out…

Fantastic!

“was delayed” is correct because it implies the delay (the announcement) was in the past, not the release.  If it said “Why EE 2.0 was released late” then it would be wrong.  However, “is delayed” is also correct because it also in a state of postponement.

Reason 10b. Because there are so many entertaining posts on the forum about why EE 2.0 has been delayed.

And the number 1 and a half reason…
Waiting for the other V-EE-P debate to be over, to show ‘em who the real winner is, or could it be... !

As long as it comes out before the Large Hadron Thingie™ destroys the universe, everything will be fine. I’ve heard they’ve added a module that will hold spacetime together as long as everybody keeps their databases backed up and their version current.

See, if we only raised domain registration to $100 a year we wouldn’t have sites like this.

Off course, I kinda have to question the validity of hasthelargehadroncolliderdestroyedtheworldyet.com. I mean, doesn’t every website serve this same purpose.

1. Can I load the site?

No.

2. Is it because the site is down or other technical reasons?

No.

3. hasthelargehadroncolliderdestroyedtheworldyet?

Oh, crap.

Of course in this case I wouldn’t be around for that answer. Also, I think hasthelargehadroncolliderdestroyedtheworldyet.com is a bit disingenuous. I mean when the collider does destroy the world, who will be around to update that site?

btw, Abe Vigoda is alive!

I dunno, Ingmar—everyone knows you can’t trust everything you read on the internet. Just because some website says the LHC hasn’t destroyed the world yet doesn’t make it so.

just for your information ee 2.0 will come out the day after my license expires I just know it

I’m not sure that matters. It’s a bit unclear from the verbiage on the renewal page and such, but EE 2.0 is an upgrade. I believe the way it will work is your current 1.6.x license will continue to give you access to 1.6 branch of fixes and patches, but it will cost you to go to EE 2.0.

Search the forums (or click here). This question has been asked quite a bit, and the best (and in my mind reasonable) answer has been that EllisLab will be “fair.”

I expect to pay to upgrade. Originally I was holding off on renewing my license, but was assured it really wouldn’t matter either way. Hold off or not as you see fit.

By the way, if you know 2.0 comes out the day after your license expires, everyone is going to want to know when your license expires. Heh!

Take anything I said above with a grain of salt because I am not the official word.

Thanks Chris for that link it hurt a bit to find out that it might cost two hundred some odd dollars to use EE 2.0.  I can’t afford that cause I don’t use EE to make money, I just like learning it. Its like sowing to me.

I hope they at least have a contest and give some free licenses out to some very lucky winners

I got my first EE license during a brief giveaway period, back in (IIRC) 2004 when my attempted MT3 install blew up in my face. If it hadn’t been for that I might very well have gone back to Blogger, because I couldn’t possibly have paid the $199 price tag for what to me would have been “just a blogging platform” back then.

The price tag on upgrading to EE2, if it’s that high, may be out of the question now as well. On the one hand I know now that EE is a lot more than “just a blogging platform”—but I can keep using the version I already have.

Have I missed any word on a Core version of EE2?
