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!

    • I wonder how many are laid off for cost savings, and this being blamed on AI to make it sound less scary and bad, for a more positive "modern, with the times" spin for investors? Because Oracle is down 14% the past year. We're also looking at a company struggling here.
    • AI is the beginning, wait until real robots replace more jobs, specifically jobs that require physical work.
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it by Hamid Ganji There’s no question that AI has become the hottest trend in workplaces, and every company is trying to adopt AI-driven solutions across its operations. While some industry leaders repeatedly say AI won’t lead to massive layoffs, recent data suggest that AI is actually one of the main reasons some companies are reducing their workforce. According to Oracle’s annual regulatory filing, the company has laid off about 21,000 employees, or 13% of its workforce, amid increasing AI adoption. “The adoption and deployment of AI technologies across our operations have resulted, and may continue to result, in reductions to our workforce,” Oracle said in the filing. The software giant now has approximately 141,000 full-time employees, a notable decrease from 162,000 during the same period last year. Restructuring expenses, including severance payments, cost Oracle $1.84 billion in fiscal 2026. Additionally, around 49,000 Oracle employees were based in the U.S., while approximately 92,000 were employed internationally. Like many other companies, Oracle has fully embraced AI and concentrated much of its efforts on the technology. The company is also a key participant in the United States’ $500 billion Stargate Project, which aims to build multiple AI data centers across the country. When it comes to AI adoption and its impact on the workforce, opinions remain divided. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, whose company has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the AI boom, recently said in an interview that attributing job cuts to AI is a “lazy” narrative. “The narrative that connects AI to job loss, for many of the CEOs that are doing it – it is just too lazy. AI has just arrived, how is it possible they're already losing jobs?” Huang said. However, statistics and recent reports tell a different story. According to Layoffs.fyi, 196 tech companies have laid off about 119,800 employees so far this year. Reducing staff and replacing roles with AI agents could become one of the most significant trends in the job market in the years ahead.
