This after-Thanksgiving episode of phpBB Weekly was interesting because we hadn’t really planned as much for the episode as we should have because we were busier planning for Thanksgiving, however through debates, discussion, and question answering, we were able to take a single, short topic and extended it out to make an entire show, to our surprise.
We start the show by giving our birthday wishes to David, whose birthday will be on Monday, November 26th, and we also go over some of the new features of phpBB Weekly’s website.
Following a recent announcement on Star Trek Guide in which David updated to a CVS version of phpBB3, we question him on his motives. It turns out that there will be an eighth release candidate for phpBB3 which will be coming out very soon. We discuss the new release a bit and also take a look at what it means for the timing of the final release. As the show lingers on, we end up having a bit of a heated discussion about phpBB3 vs. phpBB2, and we also talk a bit about phpBB3’s release cycle after 3.0.0 “Olympus” is released.
