Umbraco 4 is ready for release

Thursday, January 29, 2009 by Administrator

Fantastisc news: Last night we made the last commit to the Umbraco 4.0 branch, which means that Umbraco 4 is now ready for release, which will happen tomorrow. That's two days before planned!

We'll spend the next two days with extensive tests, preparing intro videos for Umbraco 4 and polishing Runway modules to make sure they all behave as they should.

We'll only update the source in the case that we encounter a show stopper bug, so this means that nightly build #74 is probably the release (it'll bear the internal version number 4.0.0RC3 until it's released).

Help us!

If you want to help us making this release stellar, then download the build #74 and report any issues to our Codeplex tracker. You can also help us and fellow umbracians by updating languages files.

Celebrate

There's release celebrations going on in both Copenhagen and London tomorrow (Friday) evening. In London it's Darren Ferguson who's arranging so let him know if you want to join. In Copenhagen me and Per is inviting you to join us for some late night beers on us.

    I am looking forward starting to work with umbraco again!

    Also, some ideas for IE8-features in vNext (see reply to post, and you need IE8 to test it) :)
