Staff Diary: v2.0 Cycle

luceos

Walys Why this? I thought this new one replaced the Byoyu extension. In the end I understand that they do the same thing.

For some it seems they do the same thing. Byobu was always meant to be the Private Discussions extension, not a private messaging one. If core comes with its own PM extension, it might be likely that Byobu will go back to its roots of providing Private Discussions; neatly and smoothly integrated into the regular discussion index.

Walys

luceos I think in the 90% of forums, private messaging between two users is the most normal thing to do. In this case I see no difference between Byobu and PM in core. Better PM in core directly and uninstall Byobu extension.

When you said, "Byobu will go back to its roots of providing Private Discussions" I understand you mean private discussions between more than two users, as for a group of people. right?

It seems there is a higher occurrence of problems with the database version MySQL 10.6.18-MariaDB-cll-lve. This is a MariaDB version on cPanel. This version of MariaDB seems to be shipped by default on ubuntu systems and likely on other linux systems as well. The error thrown in the storage/logs folder mentions MAX_JOIN_SIZE.

To solve this issue you can try to either:

While investigating this issue I noticed that discuss was actually also running 10.6.18, but the ubuntu version 10.6.18-MariaDB-0ubuntu0.22.04.1. This version has no issue at all and has been running this version for several months.

I've also fixed https://nightly.flarum.site, it got stuck because 2.x needs MariaDB 10.10, an upgrade that took place at once. Please keep nightly clean 🙏 , don't use the extension manager as no extensions are compatible with 2.x at the time being.

When will version 2.0 be released?

serdo It'll probably be released as soon as it's ready to be released.

😄These repetitious "When do we get muh Flarum™ 2.0" posts, remind me of children who won't quit demanding "Are we there yet".

Walys

User31 Are we there yet? :-)

What would be great would be to have a migration story... so threads in Byoyu can be ported over to the Messages extension.

Similarly, I'd love to see something like the Reactions extension move to core. There's no synergy between Reactions, Likes, Dislikes extensions. They are all independent and the migration story is tough, as far as i can tell. What I'd want if I enabled Reactions would be to convert all the Likes to 👍 or something similar.

JFOC

luceos is this published yet?

ernestdefoe

JFOC no it’s not. It’s still being developed. Once it is released they will make an announcement about it.

Apricot

It's very sad that the development process of "Open Source" Flarum does not even have a public repository.

GreXXL

Apricot I think you didn't take time to look - but here you go: flarum/framework

ernestdefoe

Apricot I’m sure there’s a reason for it and maybe it’s to keep people from installing not even an alpha version of the software and coming here complaining that it’s not working right or it’s buggy or they can’t install extensions. Again I’m sure there’s a reason why they don’t.

Apricot

GreXXL Hmm, it seems that the last time I checked, I somehow missed the 2.0 branch. Now I see it.
Maybe it’s because it’s cluttered with a lot of different branches, and 2.0 wasn’t the default at that time, so I just missed it in among a pile of stale branches

qianmoQ

When will 2.x be released? Where can I see the 2.x demo site?

ernestdefoe

qianmoQ ® When it’s ready. They haven’t given a time frame yet and last I checked the demo was broken.

davetodave178

qianmoQ You can check out https://nightly.flarum.site/. But be aware at this stage of development the site may be broken from time to time.

CyberGene

I think they mentioned the optimistic release date will be in 2025. Pessimistic is… when ready 😉
