I am having someone convert my old database (postnuke/PNphpBB) to XOOPS 2.2.3/newbb2, and before it gets too far i need to wonder if there will be upgrades for 2.2.3 to 2.3. I have read that 2.2.3 is full of bugs and lacking module compatibility (or atleast that is what i read).

I have been screwed before by having dead end versions installed with no ability to upgrade. And I am just curious if this will happen again.

According to the Roadmap, 2.2.3 will NOT be upgradable to 2.3.

Remember that XOOPS uses the linux numbering system for versions. Therefore 2.3 will be the testing version, when this version is deemed stable it should be numberred as 2.4. At that time their should be an upgrade script made avilable for 2.2.3.

All this is what I undertood, a moderator or dev will clear it up if I made mistakes.

Lance's information looks accurate, to the best of my knowledge.

If you want to minimize your risk, you might even consider converting your current database to 2.0.13.2, rather than 2.2.3.

In my personal experience, 2.2.3 seems pretty reliable, but I don't use a lot of third-party modules.

That's incorrect. When 2.3 is deemed stable it will be renamed 2.3 beta 1. If that had been the case I wouldn't have released an "alpha" version, but would have called it "2.3.0". Sorry if the roadmap didn't make this clear enough (I thought saying one of the goals of 2.3 was to give a better version for 2.0 users was enough).

@xephon: we cannot let anybody in a dead-end, so whatever happens there will be a way to update your 2.2.x site if you make one. Now, it just that it will be longer to come, so unless you really need the features of 2.2 and don't care about its problems, it's recommended to stick with the latest 2.0 for the moment.

DON'T YOU THINK THAT LITTLE GEM SHOULD BE ON YOUR FRONT PAGE?

EDIT: I've just checked the front page, on which we are exhorted to "Get the latest XOOPS version!"

It is on the development site, and 2.2.3 is the latest FULL (ie - none beta or Alpha) release.

When 2.3 is released, it will be added.
