  • The New & Improved Flarum Roadmap

nix any update?

We will read any news about updates here in one of the sticky posts, I guess.

    clarkwinkelmann You know who developed exactly that ? The Composer team ? It's not used without reason, it does a fantastic job to this very task: host, manage, download and handle versions between all packages !

    I don't think Flarum should drop it, it's a big plus to help code quality. However making user-friendly interfaces around it is definitely a necessity. That's what we've been working on at Flagrow with Bazaar.

    I guess you mean CDN by the way ?

    You know what they didn't do? May it user-friendly.
    And yes, I meant CDN, thank you!

      Why do you use Typescript? There are languages like FSharp - with Hindley-Milner type inference and so on, who also compile to Javascript.

      maybe you can create a donators group here for +5$ or +20$ subscribers, and add an font awesome icon as a yellow star or something as that

      possible objection: it is too work to add manually for each user, I know so, maybe permanent?

        I am sorry to say, but I think I am getting off 'the merry go round' (carousel) as everyone I know was waiting for an installer which would be friendly with shared web hosting. A simple installer which would have allowed web install without the need to SSH (terminal access). This was promised over and over to eventually come by the first release and folks have been waiting since 2015 (it's about to be 2018) for your first release (3yrs) and now you release a roadmap outlining that there will be no new development concerning the install until the 2nd release, while you also are asking for funding. -- I do not see the logic or value at this time in supporting or waiting further (sorry).

        I am really disappointed as I really was hoping for Flarum. But as you would exclude most folks within your 1st release and there is no telling how long of a wait for your 2nd release, since we have waited 3 years, I cannot find a defensible position which I could bring to my clients concerning, Flarum.

          GOD what about the amazing Pockethold and Bazaar extensions ? Now that the community built these tools core developers can focus on actual forum features and bugfixes instead of an installer that will probably need a full rewrite for stable anyway ?

              clarkwinkelmann Extensions are meaningless if you cannot even install the core.

              The problem is the early alpha and beta had a web installer and for unknown reasons they removed it. It was promised over and over with each new (beta) release that it would be worked out before the 1st stable release. Some of us have been supporting Flarum for a while now and not just in spirit. 3 years of waiting and standing by in defense of Flarum, only to feel as though we've been slapped in the face. -- Game over.

                  GOD stop crying, there are many guides about how install flarum in a share hosting, even there is an installer here, and three years are more than enough to learn how to do it in a vps...

                      When will the stable version be released?
                      The next version is beta 8. And after that version?

                        dertin Your answer is at the end of the first post.

                        Toby As we keep saying, Flarum is built by volunteers in their spare time. The bad news is that we can't give an ETA on future releases, other than to say it'll be at least a few months between each of them.

                            Thanks for the updated roadmap. Really can't wait to use this in production but will hold off until stable & with shared hosting installer.

                            how toby manages to write codes as he studies medical....? just asking ?

                            Hi,

                            are there any updates / news on the current state of development? I could help writing faqs and documentation.
