Beta comes after Alpha FYI.
So no beta has come out yet. As stated we are on the list of beta developers and should then be able to look at their new code.
As always our policy has never changed. Meaning that with any forum we support we will try our best to support if possible any new code branch by the time they reach the GOLD(final) release.
vbulletin really does not have much of a relationship with anyone to my knowledge. They have been very tight lipped about there new product or products especially after the flack they recieved after leaking news on there new product policies and pricing months ago. That caused alot of upset to there customers. Since they are where bought out by Internet Brands sometime ago alot of there policies have changed as well as personnel. They are in a key transition I think and alot is expected from them by there customers because of all this.
Remember your not going to be able to get vbulletin till they release a gold release. They are not doing public betas anymore from what I read so there should be no affect to you in any regards. Provided we are given a beta copy we should support
vb 4.0 when they are final.
