Dolphin 7.0.5, Dolphin 7.1 and Dolphin 8
A short update here, just don't let those numbers make your head spin. :)
Right now we're working on yet another "service" update (7.0.5) mainly focusing on stability and security. This update is likely to be available before NY and we have very high hopes that it would be the last in 7.0.x line.
Dolphin 7.1 development should commence in January, and we have no timeframes to share so far. We are looking forward to 7.1 release, since it should give a good inflow of freshness to current core package. Expect a new look, better speed and overhaul of some major modules.
Dolphin 8 - the ever-elusive, now almost mythical Trident-based update is not forgotten, either. In fact it may not be necessary to sacrifice a virgin to trap the unicorn. It's not on track for 2010, but it's definitely not to far off in 2011. Interestingly, it turns out to be radically different from what we expected, in a good way.
Well, this post would probably win the prize as the most vague status report... perhaps resulting from mind twists caused by uber-hot pre-Christmas here in Australia.
Stay cool, mates!
The new Dolphin solution is powered by UNA Community Management System.
Grumble.
I think that is a great idea Andrew.. Get 7.0.5 out, then focus on resolving any issues (if any) to make 7.0.5 as stable as possible. If an issue has been verified, post the resolution in the forums or something so that we can make the necessary changes/updates. This will allow us remain at 7.0.5 without having to upgrade to 7.0.6, 7.0.7, 7.0.8, etc. everytime a 'fix' has been put into place. This would also give you more time to focus on things see more
If D8 will be so radically different, will all the heavily modded D7 Frankensites have any chance of being upgraded to the D7 platform?
I would like to propose a Dolphin 7.0.6 that gets rid of those ugly ass blue padlocks, through the use of more sensible sql queries. If that's all 7.0.6 did, I'd be happy.... for a day or so..... maybe.
The guys and moderators that help me with my site I thanx with all my heart you know who you are. This time last year I had not released my site to the public yet., and its been a hell of a year which I've learnt a lot of great skills.
Last 2 upgrades I have got my site as close to not being modified as much as possible. I did this upgrade in 30 minutes without unistalling anything without a single problem and without having to unistall anything. The secret see more
Andrew, thanks for keeping us updated. I've been here a short while now and have seen major improvements in communication to your customers. My previous perception on the dolphin platform was taking a negative turn, but with the latest updates I feel things are taking a turn for the better and now find myself waiting eagerly for the next post... kinda see more
Andrew you talk about stability? Let me tell you that Dolphin is much more stable and offers the best for social network software. Nothing compares to it. I can say this with experience as see more

what are the "ugly ass blue padlocks" you're referring to?
Doesn't sound familiar but with a description like that, definitely worth asking about =)
@audanbal: goo post man...
We wanted to get it out since all the teens would be surfing MORE during holidays - but maybe we are just in time for e better plan so HURRY UP OK? lol!
..,.hope the 7.05 has some of the goodies we need.
Thanks again!
Thanks again!
Andrew you should make a demo website as early as possible before releasing the 8th version, even if it's restricted to a limited number of boonex members.. Do as you want but see more
That would turn my stomach - who would be restricted and who wouldnt? We all paid the same fee right?
Thanks
ALSO please have the 7.0.5 so that people have to put their email address in twice... please..
But pls make your udates more universal ) 7.01 >7.05 | 7.02 >7.05 | 7.03 >7.05 but not like now 7.01 > 7.02 > 7.03 > 7.04 > 7.05
I think many people feel problems arount this bug )
If I have wordpres 2.8 and want to udate to 3.03 I will not uprade it 10 times with every version 2,9 3.0 , 3,01 3,02 and so on
I have to press one button and pabam all done ... But not in dolphin )
You have to make process more easy .
Thanks !
However, I will also add some of my thoughts too:-)
I have worked with Dolphin before but I am waiting for the new 7.1 to be done before I start this next new project. It would be nice if we at least had a ballpark idea. I am also not sure why we are even working on or talking about a version 8 until 7.1 at least has assigned timelines.
Zorro....!
