This is a short update to let you know the state of play with some ongoing vBulletin projects.

vBulletin 3.6.6

The code of vBulletin 3.6.6 has been running on this forum for some time now and with the exception of a few minor bugs that are still in the process of being ironed out, it's ready to release.

Therefore, barring unforseen circumstances, vBulletin 3.6.6 will be released this Friday, May 11th 2007.

Version 3.6.6 contains all the bug fixes that were ommitted from 3.6.5 and includes several changes and improvements, most notably full support for the upcoming Project Tools and Blog products and several new hook locations. We will include more information about the changes in the release announcement on Friday. This will be a fairly major upgrade with several database alterations, so ensure that your backups are up-to-date before upgrading.

vBulletin Project Tools

The new vBulletin Project Tools system has been running here on vBulletin.com for several weeks now and has proved to be a big improvement over the previous bug tracker. Development on the system is all but completed now and following the release of vBulletin 3.6.6 it will be time to commence the private beta stage. This will happen early next week.

If you would like to be considered for the private beta program, time is running out, as the application system will be closed when vBulletin 3.6.6 is released to the public on Friday.

To those who have already applied to be included in the private beta - thank you. We will be contacting those we have selected to test the code for us shortly. Once again, if you are not selected to be a beta tester, please do not be offended - it's nothing personal, we simply have a specific set of conditions we need to test and your board may not fit the bill.

vBulletin Blog

Development on the vBulletin Blog product is going well. The blogging aspect of the system is 90% complete at this stage and our focus has now switched to the social networking component.

For those asking about release dates, without being too specific I can say that the blog is on schedule to be at least in the beta stage before the end of Q2 2007.

We hope to be able to bring you some more information and some blog screenshots in the next few weeks.

There is an ongoing discussion thread for our new products here.

Well my license expired in February of this year so I won't be able to download it. There really isn't any reason to upgrade to 3.6.6 anyways.

Yeah, I've been told it does. I can't wait.

I'll do the waiting game for a week or so, to be sure there isn't a quick release next to qsolve some bugs. Usually we see this with major changes and since there is db structure change.... I prefer to do one upgrade ;) (am the lazy type)
