b2evo 2.0.0 "Chicago" released!

Permalink September 9, 2007 @ 02:33, by Francois Planque • Category: New releases

Ladies & Gentlemen,

The wait is over!

EdB has commanded an immediate release. Here it is! ;)

Feel free to download it now and give it a test drive. A lot has changed!!!

In case you've not been following along lately, here are a few posts detailing some of the new features:

ALPHA software

This version is functional enough for us to run it on production on at least a dozen sites. However it has not been extensively tested in all different scenarios. You may run into obscure bugs and you're kindly invited to report them.

You should also be advised that the skinning API in this release is not final. That is the main reason why we call it an ALPHA release. So if you really don't like updating skins, you might want to wait a little. But if you like being on the edge, you definitely wanna check this out! (skin upgrade details here).

Other than that, let us know what you think!

At this stage we cannot add new features before issuing a stable release. We can however polish what we have in order to make it as user/blogger friendly as possible. Your feedback is welcome.

PS: Translators may wish to start localizing...

Hendra, this does have part of the photoblogging I know you've been waiting for. I still have to make it easier to use though. But we're getting there ;)

Francois, Wow !!! I say, great job. And Thanx EdB for the push :-)

I just started building a blog for a pal who is a Yoga teacher - she's jus getting hooked to the blogging circuit. :-). I'm installing Chicago.

I got one of those queries that pop up at 5am befor one retires to bed....Do you think I'd be required to make some major changes once the Stable ver is released ?

Keep Rocking and keep the Party alive...

Who cares if its alpha? :p
It's "b2evolution", that name alone merits it to be trustable. ^_^

And been playing with the bleeding edge version for awhile.

I did some skin-updating for the pre-alpha B2evo, I'd love to have some feedback.
