hi,

i just wanna ask when dolphin 8 will be released ?

Maybe in a couple of years.

In other words you should not be holding your breath for it, or putting off things waiting for it. It will be a long while.

thanks

Dolphin 8 is a major project; a rewrite of the whole platform.  Evidently Andrew spoke much too soon as we now have Dolphin 7.1.4.

It is shaping up to become the biggest and the most important Dolphin version update we have ever had. In recent weeks we realised that it is so grandiose that even updates to 6 and to 7 pale in comparison. Hence, we scrapped 7.1 and we scrapped Trident in favor of Dolphin 8 - Sundance.

I'm not even thinking about Dolphin 8 yet ... I can't see it happening for while :/

When that was posted back on 6-June-2011 Andrew also stated in the press release that only AlexT and AntonL were working on the code.  I guess one could go take a peek at the SVN to see where Dolphin 8 stands.

I looked recently and from what I could see the code has not been worked on for a couple of years.  Personally I'd like to see Boonex add some of their D8 ideas into D7.2 :-)

Dolphin 8 development looks to be on hold to focus on the more import (read: released, paid licenses go toward) Dolphin 7 improvements. I really don't think people want another Dolphin 6.1.6-7.0.0 nightmare, where you had to do a migration and no existing modules, templates, etc. worked. Best to let the current version mature.

You can take a look at the current progress in the trunk of the repository, but only a few small things work.

D8 was a hot topic back in the days

 It also seems that the "next big thing" is always a moving target.
