Version 4.8 - Release Date Planned!
Greetings Everyone,
After a long wait due to the office move we have finally decided on a date for the Version 4.8 release: Wednesday, September 10th. We will do this release just after the standard maintenance downtime and will extend the maintenance downtime for 1 hour to cover our time to do the full roll out. If we finish the rollout early, we'll turn off the maintenance mode.
Version 4.8 is a sizable release. It contains enhancements to user logins, many ItemStats enhancements, ItemStats additions for multiple games, mult-game itemstats (link itemstats for Warhammer in a WoW guild site for instance), foreign language fixes for WoW profile uploads as well as multi language ItemStats (French, German, Spanish and Russian on the way when WoWHead adds it) as well as some awesome new scheduling and recruitment tools.
In addition to those new features there are a slew of smaller enhancements such as WoW character bank privacy settings, performance improvements for Private Messages, performance improvements for the My User Page, the addition of a "spoiler" BBCode and a whole lot more.
Warhammer is entering Open Beta this weekend and we are planning to release new Warhammer functionality as they become available. For the most part we have to see what Mythic provides, then take some time to develop the functionality, then test it and release it. So some of it won't be instant on, but it's definitely on our radar.
The 4.8 release has Warhammer itemstats from MMODB and allows for Item popups from links to WarDB. The item popus from a WarDB link in the forums was release as a hotfix already. The WarDB folks are supposed to release additional info this weekend about item syndication, we will see if we can work that into 4.8.
On a side arc to this release Vicki has been working heavily on Warhammer graphics and templates. We will be incorporating what is complete from her work into a mini release for the end of next week or early the week of the 15th.
Thanks for your patience while we worked through our office move and the issues from the fire that precipitated that move. With 4.8 on it's way out we'll be officially back in gear and have some awesome functionality lined up for 4.9 already!
Enjoy!
Stephen
