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!

    • Wow, throwback.  VERY VERY briefly - but realised that it wasn't the language I needed for the tasks I was taking on.
    • Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com Tata Electronics has confirmed that it detected a cybersecurity incident in some of its systems. The Indian company is a manufacturing partner of both Apple and Tesla, and the incident may have exposed some trade secrets belonging to the two American companies. The World Leaks ransomware group is said to be behind the attack, and it has reportedly posted up to 200,000 files on the dark web, including component designs and specification documents related to Apple and Tesla products. Tata Electronics told Reuters that its response protocols were deployed immediately and that the “incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” The ransomware group reportedly sent a ransom demand to Tata Electronics, while Apple has launched an investigation into the incident. World Leaks claims it stole more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB from Tata Electronics. Some database files on the ransomware group’s website are titled "com.apple.factorydata," which could refer to Apple’s iPhone production operations in India. Moreover, some documents reportedly contain material specifications and quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components. However, Apple is not the only affected company. A folder found in the World Leaks database is titled "NV36 Chargeport Controller - North America," which may refer to Tesla Model Y components. Additionally, other files in the database reportedly contain drawings related to Tesla’s Project Highland, the internal codename for the EV maker’s updated Model 3 sedan. To support the authenticity of the stolen files, World Leaks has published documents containing footers that read: "This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc." and "information contained herein is deemed confidential, proprietary, and a trade secret of Tesla Inc." Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told Reuters that the database also contains emails, event logs spanning several years, and passport copies of employees, including foreign nationals. Both Tesla and Apple have declined to comment on the scale of the incident.
    • Last time I used Pascal was in college about 40 yrs ago, programmed an inventory database for my exam.
    • If they don't sell enough of the 1st gen then there won't be a 2nd gen
    • Epic fail, should've added an eSata port on the back, also if the memory/NVME are soldered then they're hardly gonna sell any, first thing most people do with their Steamdeck is, or used to be, replacing the NVME with a 2TB one. At that price they should, possibly for the first time, offer an installments option, say 24 months, they may sell a lot if they do. I'm sure they would have no shortage of credit companies willing to partner.
