XF 2.2 Welcome to XenForo 2.2 / What's still to come

We've spent the last few weeks talking about the new features in XenForo 2.2. Now, it's your first chance to try some of them out and help us put them through their paces. Welcome to XenForo 2.2!

As you may notice, we have started converting some of our forums to more specific forum types. We've also enabled all general discussion thread types in the testing forum.

What's still to come

While our previous "have you seen" threads have announced most of what's coming in XenForo 2.2, we haven't touched on our official add-ons. There are improvements coming to each of them (beyond getting support for changes we already announced in 2.2), but we're not quite ready to announce these changes yet. Until we do, what you see running here is essentially the same as the 2.1-based version of our add-ons.

Beyond the add-ons, we still have a few more improvements to XenForo 2.2 itself that are still in the oven right now. These include improvements based on feedback we've received from the previous have you seens and some improvements to things we haven't touched on yet.

Keep your eyes peeled! (Disclaimer: please do not actually peel your eyes.)

Next steps

We're now starting the first steps towards releasing XenForo 2.2 by testing it here. So please, if you notice any bugs or problems, report them to us.

Once we finish off the changes we still have in the pipeline and are happy with the stability of 2.2, the first beta will be released to all customers with active licenses. Beta versions are not officially supported and we don't recommend running them on production installs. This is an opportunity for people to test and for resource authors to make the necessary changes to support the new version. From there, we'll continue releasing beta versions until we're ready to move onto the release candidate stage, which essentially means that we believe the version is close to being an officially supported release (but it's not yet!). Finally, and only once we've gone through each of these stages, XenForo 2.2.0 will be released as an officially supported/recommended release... and we can all celebrate!

But in the meantime, we still have work to do!

Try providing constructive feedback in the appropriate place otherwise we're unable to take it seriously.

.I wrote about it here and here. We live in 2020, where flat design is the standard, and the editor looks like it is from 2010.

If you've provided all of the feedback you have to give then I guess there's little point in making comments like "horrible editor".

 

[Radhi]

Very cool​

Well done​

 

[alv4]

Great!
Now it's time to test all the new features

 

[Masetrix]

Suuuper.

Good morning! Hello XenForo 2.2!

Do feel free to add #XF .fr-box.fr-basic.is-focused .fr-toolbar.fr-top { background: transparent; } to your browser's custom stylesheet.

There isn't an app. This website is now a progressive web app which means some browsers may allow you to "install" it to your home screen.

I'm running Windows 10 and latest version of chrome; I do not see an install (+) option on the address bar or deeper within options. Any known reasons why this might be the case? I was able to install it on Android using the Install link you put at the bottom of the sidenav.

 

[Chris D]

I'm on macOS and it didn't show there for me at first because of browser caching.

Otherwise, @Mike any issue on Windows for you?

 

[Lawrence]

Feeling overwhelmed here, too many new and cool features to test out. I love the editor!

 

[Mike]

Your browser has likely cached the manifest before it was installable (some icons had to be added). You may be able to get it updated with a hard refresh, otherwise the browser will periodically refresh the manifest (I believe once per day).

Thanks. I also tested via incognito mode and no luck; will keep an eye out.

.it’s not about how it will look with me. The fact is that in 2020 you are doing an update that returns us in 2010)

 

[Chris D]

Points made. Thanks for your feedback.

 

[The Dark Wizard]

Is this only for chrome? I don't get the PWA on Firefox.

 

[CarpCharacin]

The new editor looks pretty decent, IMO.

 

[Ray-]

Will have to get used to the looks of the editor, but the new features are sexy.
Also very happy to see PWA getting adopted here. Good job guys.

It wont make popup stating install app when open on mobile chrome browser.

Though i am able to install it from the menu by clicking on install button.

It would be great if it pop up like enable notification.
