I have been growing tired, envious, to annoyed at all the people blogging that now have CS 3 aka CS 2007 while most of us do not have it even though some of us may be large users and longtime users and supporters of CS.

All I ask  is please stop showing all of the cool things you can do long before us instead give it to us to break and use the time to report issues we find in our real world CS installations for CS 2007. We want it.

More time in beta means a more stabile end product.

Hi Shaan,

Yeah, I can imagine that people are getting a bit antsy regarding the release of CS 2007. We're so excited about how it's going to change some things that we can't help but talk about it.

We're definitely pushing to get a beta out soon, as our RTM target is still Q1 2007, and as such have asked our internal folks (no customers yet) to try it out and report *major* issues. The next step will be updating communityserver.org (which should happen real soon). Assuming all goes well, we'll be working to get CS 2007 Beta 1 soon after.

Thanks for your patience, you'll be happy you waited...

One is glad to be of service...

Thank you. It was all the teasing in my RSS feeds and I have a large project I need to get going and it starts when 3.0 hits the field.

Hope to see a link to last read message in a forum and the mark all read icon issues sotrted out. Throw some more 3.0 feature and change teasers other than the skinning specifics. Please  :-)

Cheers,
Shaan

I think you're right in that most of us are excited about the theming more than anything else. That said, we're also excited about the other major changes: BlogFileDrop (newMediaObject++), Morpheus (membership/profile/role separation), and Tallyman (new mail gateway). With regards to minor features and fixes, many of those have already come in our service pack releases and our focus for Beta 1 is to get the big stuff out for feedback.

Thanks again for the feedback...

Thank you. Will there be a .Net 1.1 version as well?

Will we customers of extensions like the mail and NNTP have some way to test in real world enviorpnment before RTM? I remember last 2.1 cycle we could not test these and found bugs upion rollout of the final. It ouywl be nice to beat on them in our real world databases and flow before they ship.

The permissions update sounds great but I want to see it. I now have tens of thousands of users in over 200 roles and 450 forums each with their own roles. I still want a special archive role to hide inactive forums from admin view of the forums. I want to hear more about Forum changes as themes and blog features are nice but my bread and butter usage 24/7 is the forums.

Thank you again,
Shaan

There will be no support for asp.net 1.1 with CS 2007 only asp.net 2.0

While I agree it will be for some it will be for the best, most people are using asp.net 2 these days and it will make integration easier.
