Dolphin U Alpha 5 - Public Preview

The long-awaited super-update of Dolphin, now known as Dolphin U, is available for public preview! This is a very exciting moment for our team - a major milestone on the way to the "dream release" we've been working on for so long. 

This. Is. ALPHAAAAA!

Had to shout it out loud. Alpha means not-feature-final. There's a bunch of things we're still working on, including some major user-interface elements and even whole modules. We need a few more weeks to proceed to a feature-final version (beta). This Alpha is "upgradable", though. Dolphin U features an automated core-version update system - so, with any luck you should be able to move on to further builds seamlessly. 

Don't launch a real site on it. You can, but you shouldn't. Dolphin U is not production-ready yet. There's very little documentation. Some things still break. Some elements may be missing. Whole site can go belly up any moment if you launch it on Dolphin U Alpha now. So, don't. Make test installs or use our online demo. If you get stuck, ask questions in the forum or wait until a properly packaged version is out. 

Please post your feedback in the Dolphin U forum. A lot depends on your input now. Specific bug reports are most helpful - that's the kind of feedback that brings Dolphin U closer to final release most effectively. 

Thank you for your patience and continued support! It is an incredible relief to be able to open up and share our progress publicly. Now that there's access to the development repo you can track every small iteration of what we believe is to become the world best Community Management System. Ahoy!
