From a bug report today:

Scott MacVicar
Today 1:36pm
It involves some template changes and a javascript change, i'd probably just wait until 3.5.0 which is soon.

In the hours leading up to a release a whole host of things have to happen. Usually the entire development team joins a private chat room to discuss final issues and ensure that everything is working as expected. The anticipation tends to start to build when members at the vBulletin.com forums notice that the entire development team is online and madly rushing around the board checking for anything we might have missed. When the time comes to deploy the new version to the members' area the adrenalin starts pumping as the announcement thread and its partner discussion thread are cued up in the 'move thread' dialogue ready to be moved with a single click, the new version record is cued up in the database ready to be inserted, the new version package is fetched from CVS and placed in the appropriate place on the server, the CVS is tagged.

Finally when everything is in place we have a mission-control style 'go or no go for flight' where each developer signs off on the release, certifying to me that to their knowledge nothing is half-committed or remains broken in the code they have worked on. If everyone signs off there is a flurry of [enter] keypresses and mouse clicks to get all the threads moved and the data inserted and the new version is officially released.

There's then a period where everyone holds their breath, watching the forums for posts from people confirming that their upgrade has gone successfully, or that dreaded post from the person reporting that x is broken or y doesn't work. Happily, most of the posts are of the former type.

Did anyone see that the Software Development team were all online a few mins ago...........
