Francisco Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I don't know about you guys but I have been with WHMCS for almost two years now. This is just my opinion, but in the early days it seemed that WHMCS was getting more releases/features than now. It just seems every quarter we get a new version. And if they are released as Release Candidates it takes a while for it to go final. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Once you see Version 4 - you'll appreciate how much work has gone into it... Would you rather it was rushed and you faced problems once it was put into production or wait a couple of weeks for everything to be ironed out? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
openmind Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 What's the rush? As Daniel said, I would rather see steady, stable releases than rushed code.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrence Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 v4 is ready to go, except that some last minute changes (forced by a LogicBoxes password system change, affecting the NetEarthOne and 3 other registrar modules) has caused some delays while Matt updates the modules for the new LB password system. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistermartin75 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I'm not sure if it's totally due to the new password system, since I've been having trouble with NEO before that. Anyway, Matt told me it will be fixed in the stable and will not be updated immediately, since multiple files had to be changed. As to the development. If you've seen V4, you know why not that many updates to V3 have been released. V4 introduces a lot of new features and it really a leap forward from V3. It's no wonder that development may have appeared as slow, while it actually hasn't been. That's the downside of closed source projects: actual development progress cannot always be monitored. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gears Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I disagree 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckh Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I disagree also. The more complicated whmcs gets, the more planning that needs to be done not only to ensure a smooth integration but for future upgrades. I imagine the programming part is the easiest task. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberneticos Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I disagree too. WHMCS has been on the ball in the past 2 years. Non-stop. As a matter of fact, I don't recall not receiveing an update in more than a quarter's time. Maybe you missed some updates ? I am pretty happy with WHMCS' continuous work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrat Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I also fully support the WHMCS development team as well as, especially, them taking their time before releasing v4.0. To my mind, especially since 3.8.2 is highly usable, I appreciate the stability. I do not want v 4.0 to be rushed and and am delighted just to wait until the time is right. I couldn't give two figs if that takes months. The delay is par for the course in terms of sensible development and I wish people would stop banging on with the overly ebullient, "Hubba hubba", shite. Just my eggs. It will will be what it will be and arrive when it does. Meanwhile, I fully appreciate what WHMCS currently does. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHostingHeroes Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I would say WHMCS development time/speed is excellent, the WHMCS team have worked very hard and each update has included lots of changes/new features, Personally I couldn't be happier with their turn around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkent Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 That's because SWSoft took over and killed it Try coming up to Scotland We all eat bricks for breakfast, wear skirts and chuck telegraph poles around... It's true! They really do chuck telegraph poles and so on. Then they talk utter crap! I live in Scotland (although not Scottish, and happy about it!). On another note, WHMCS may have slowed down, but this was expected. They did tell us Version 4 would be a major release, so no wonder it took a while, which may of seemed like...forever. Especially with the Multi Currency feature, that must of had a lot of thought put into it, with endless testing. Come on guys, give them a break. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
