Flarum 0.1.0-beta.7.1 Released

NeerajSaini

Love what Flarum dev team is doing, I was in search of a modern looking forum software and ran into flarum. Would be great to see a production ready version soon. Any idea when are you guys planning to release one. How can we users accelerate the development effort? may be start a kickstarter campaign to collect funds and shorten the timeline of production release? I'll be happy to contribute

NeerajSaini Addition to what @jordanjay29 said:

This is where you can keep track on Flarum's progress: https://github.com/flarum/core/milestones
Version 0.1.0-beta.8 is just around the corner. Hopefully very soon we can see a production ready software that everyone can enjoy to use for their communities.

Please keep checking us out for more updates.

Digital thank you! So I have to move my 40k+ members FB Group community to a Forum in next 2 months but it looks like flarum production version will not be ready in time( I don't want to introduce any bugs to my big community and risk loosing members). What all other forum platforms I can use to bridge the gap so I can easily migrate to Flarum when its available? Will you support Discourse migration?

Digital You mean we're not supposed to run this on production sites ? Loving Flarum so much that I moved all my communities over.

Dearie me! I've recently discovered Flarum and I must say—what an absolute joy!

I originally installed Discourse (because it's the hyped popular choice) for research collaboration a few days ago but it was slow, resource-heavy, cluttered, and the UI was terrible, so I started looking for alternatives and Flarum has won me over despite the let's say ‘recreational development’ and beta status. It's a shame you guys don't have commercial backing because you're obviously brilliant developers working on a product with a huge potential to pay for itself. So many great ideas and improvements over Discourse and NodeBB while keeping it all lightweight and swift.

Many thanks for your work, contribution to open source, and best of luck in the future! I'm looking forward to the future of this project!

I don't want to use composer
Will you release a version which composer is not required?

hermitonroad I don't want to use composer

You mean you don't want to use the command line / composer client ? Have a look at the Pockethold installer and Bazaar, these are third-party tools you can use right now.

Saying you don't want to use Composer (the technology) would be pretty much the same as saying you don't want to use PHP, as it's one of the core technologies used by Flarum ?

There might come a time when the local composer client isn't required anymore and is replaced by a pre-packaged solution or a cloud composer client but that's likely not before stable ?

What happen with 8 release version? ?
Some good extensions out there was write it for this version I don't understand the why!

Digital

Kryonoglou We would like our members to understand that there's a lot of effort being focused on beta 8 right now. Please be patient and it will come really really soon!

Kryonoglou

I still not understand why some of the plugins work's with beta 8 and now with the latest stable version.

datitisev

Kryonoglou As most of of the changes in beta 8 will require rewriting parts of existing extensions, developers have started to work on extensions for beta 8 and update existing ones instead of going through the trouble of having to rewrite them a month or two later.

SnakePromise

I'd like to migrate my forum from Drupal to flarum. Would you suggest waiting for beta 8 before doing that?

luceos

SnakePromise if you stick to core extensions or extensions by active developers there won't be any issue upgrading to beta 8.

Prosperous

SnakePromise I would suggest holding up on it until beta.8 is released. It is ever so close now and may save you migrating to beta.7 only to upgrade to beta.8 soon after.

Otherwise don't mind me. I just don't like double-handling in general. ?

SnakePromise

luceos Thanks, I'll start cautiously testing the migration with the current beta.

SnakePromise

Prosperous Yes, the release looks close now (judging by the milesones in github) but the last 9% can take months and month I guess, since beta7 was released more than a year ago AFAIK.
