Dolphin 6

1st of September - The BoonEx Birthday. And Yes…

Many Thanks!

Thank you BoonExers for doing great job, for late night stays and for being part of the real team.

Thank you BoonExians at BoonEx.org for your wonderful ideas, timely feedback and pro-active nudges we’re already used to be receiving on daily basis.

Thank You Lord for you invisible hand that supports us all the way through.

What’s Next

6.1

So is it…

Yes it is. This is the version that we now strongly recommend to install on live sites. Upgrade from 5.6 is strongly recommended, although the upgrade pack will be available only next week. All upgrades and patches will now have a detailed UPDATE manual and patches - so your DB and settings will survive.

But what if…

Development never stops. We expect to release a patch ASAP if things go wrong, but they shouldn’t. Hey, we had 20 beta releases!

How do we say thank you…?

Spread the word. See Share buttons under the post… Digg this post, bookmark and share - new visitors make us happy.

Let’s Play

No links or explanations in this post today - now you can find them all at BOONEX.COM.

I will probably tell more about this on Monday, but now, after 3 hours of sleep in the last 3 days, shaking hands and dead mind I just can’t type on. Just this…

Happy Birthday dear BoonEx!

p.s.

Thank you everyone. We’re just about to fall asleep, but still checking the site.

  17. 17 hakknslash

    did I miss something… or is there no way to enable couple profiles? In the Builder there is a Split Join form, but I can not find the switch in the admin section to enable couples profiles.
