Just out of curiosity what are all the new features that will DEF be making it into D7 I have heard rumor from Dennis & Tadeo, about OpenID support, support for the OpenSocial API and all the social networking apps that work on MySpace & Facebook. I heard that ray is included so the chat, messenger, A/V chat, chatrooms & private messenging actions like you can do on MySpace will now be contact options in D7 without having to pay the rediculous $40 for EVERY component of the Ray Suite. see more (But i doubt we're going to get all of Ray for free, but it would be nice). I've heard possibly the ability to add profile types, similar to AntonLV's Profile splitter that is SO INCREDIBLY AWESOME!!! But is there a list of all the proposed new features that are "Supposed" to be making it into this version. Also can I possibly get one of these shaky but functional none the less D7 versions to checkout and tear down as well. I'd like to put it through a few simulated Hacker RAPINGS on my webserver. Also, did you fix the MYSQL injections on this version from the start or is that going to be in the VERY FIRST patch for this version as well. I would think that whatever wound up in the first few patches of the last 3 versions, would be something you would want to pay extra special attention to NOT HAVING TO HAVE A PATCH FOR IT IN FUTURE VERSIONS. But then again thats just my logical self talking :-D
And to all those people who seem like they have nothing more constructive to comment on than the fact its not released yet or how boonex is missing another deadline, let me remind you noone is stopping you from going and creating your own community suite of social networking software to distribute for free. So if you arent making incredibly awesome software to be distributed to the masses for free then why dont you take a chill pill or 4 and relax. Dont you think they would have LOVED to have had it ready to release already and would LOVE to meet their deadlines every time. But personally i would rather them take their very valuable time and get the FIRST release correct and as close to flawless as possible, because i think we will all agree as great as 6.1 was, our nagging, bitching & complaining about the delays didnt get us anything more than a prematurely released product that we all then spent months complaining needed patches for very simple silly stuff, when if we had just left them alone to do their job in silence, sure it may have taken a smidgen longer, but my bet is we wouldnt have needed fixes we did at an almost instantaneous rate. Lesson that WE ALL SHOULD HAVE LEARNED...LEAVE THEM ALONE.
And a personal comment from me...NICE WORDS OR NO WORDS PEOPLE. Didnt your kindergarten teacher teach you anything?
