IPB v2.0.0 PDR 1 Released!


Recommended Posts

Yes folks, after only a few months in development, IPB 2.0.0 is ready for it's first public outing!

Please read the next few lines even if you skim the rest - it's very important.

* This release is not suitable for a main production board, it is for testing only

* This is a very late alpha/early beta build - expect a LOT of bugs

* The instructions in the zip are WRONG - please read further down for more info

* There are many sections left to complete and this release does not reflect the final build quality

* There is NO upgrade path from 1.2 or 1.3 in this release

* Do not start translations, the languages will be redone during the first few betas

* By all means experiment in the skinning manager but remember that ALL the templates are to be redone and renamed so any work done now will not be saved.

Known Issues

The subscriptions manager does not work properly with 2.0.0 yet

Email notification / validation does not work properly with 2.0.0 yet

This is the first public release of Invision Power Board v2.0.0 and you should expect lots of bugs. If you find one, please CHECK FIRST to make sure it's not already been reported. If it's not, then please report it in the appropriate forums. We know about several IE style issues both on the board and in the ACP so there's no need to report those and we know about several ACP javascript errors so there's no need to report those. I used Mozilla to develop IPB and if you want a 'pure' experience, use Mozilla or Firefox.

Please have fun with the new skinning system but be warned that the skinning templates and template bit names will be changed during the beta stage, skinning now should just be for fun - please don't expect any skins to work in later releases.

The same goes for languages, the system will change a little during the beta releases. Please don't get too involved in translations at this point.

In general, this is very much work in progress. Skins, languages, images, CSS, code and features are not final and there is much work to be done still including a final optimization and 'polish'. By that we mean that the quality of this beta is lower than you would expect in a final release.

The following features are still to be added:

Better ACP language system including skin-like inheritence system.

Better 'report post' management.

Better 'easy editing' mode for CSS

Better email notification of topics/subscriptions

(... and some other additional tweaks)

Installation

Installation is very easy. Simply upload all the files from the directory "upload" to your forum directory. Once the upload is complete, CHMOD the following files to 0777

- conf_global.php

- install

- lang

- skin_cache

- skin_images

- uploads

Using your web browser, navigate your way into the install directory (www.domain.com/forum/install/) this will then start the installer.

NOTE!! Do not use the same database as your current main board with the same SQL table extension or your current board WILL BE DELETED

Have fun and thanks for taking the time to beta test our new product!

    • But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.
    • Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
