my apologies, wot...
it's called geek speak. this bulletin board runs on open source software. this board uses version 2.x, which has some known issues that some hackers are exploiting. version 3.0 is in development, and it's being readied for beta testing. in order for the beta test to go correctly, the ideas for making version 3.0 better have to be settled on ('frozen on the development tree') before a final test version is released. beta testing then begins, where the odd bug or two is fixed, and then the 'final' release is done. the changes from version 2.x to 3.0 must be significant. a 'point' release usually indicates major coding changes or improvements from the developer. sometimes they fix things that get messed up by others, like our quote feature, for example. |
