The Jamroom 5 Downloads page has just been updated with the latest version of Jamroom 5 - beta 4:

http://www.jamroom.net/Downloads5

This also includes an updated Jamroom 5 Super Pack that has a new module and skin:

• jrVideo - this is a beta release of the new Video module that supports on-server conversions to convert uploaded video files to both FLV and MP4 (it converts to both so the FLV can play in flash enabled browsers, and the MP4 can be played on iOS devices). Note that there is "stub" support for the forthcoming Video Conversion service we'll be offering that will be able to convert to higher quality video as well as support progressive streaming for higher quality on mobile devices.
  
• jrNova - This is a JR5 version of the Jamroom 4 "Nova" skin
  

There is also a TON of fixes in all modules and the core, so everyone running any version of JR5 is advised to upgrade. I'd also recommend a completely fresh install if you can, as there have been some small changes in the form designer and dynamic menus that will look a little better on a fresh install.

If anyone has any questions or issues related to this new beta release, please let us know in the Jamroom 5 beta forum:

http://www.jamroom.net/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=24

and we'll get it fixed up.

Up next for beta 5 we have the new jrFoxyCart module (for payments and subscriptions) we're working on, as well as our new backend services. Douglas is hard at work on building the new jrFlashback skin, which will include CSS for the "Sage" style as well, so those of you running Cobalt3/Flashback/Sage on JR4 will have a nice JR5 skin that maintains the main design of those JR4 skins.

Thanks everyone for your patience while we've been working on this new beta, and let us know about any issues you run into.

Thanks!

- Brian

All I can say is its getting closer all the time, which is probably no help !!
A couple of the team have been on vacation recently which has slowed things, but we're all back now and beavering away.
There are docs. in the jrDeveloper module which detail all JR5 features and functions. They are not a layman's guide to building modules - that comes from taking a look at some of the existing modules and seeing how simple it is to call one of the documented JR5 functions in order to do things that were actually pretty complex in JR4.

Yeah your answer is a bit disappointing Paul, it's been 6 Months and 19 days since the Alpha was made available to some users, and almost 7 Months later, you guys still don't have a release date in mind.

Compare to Gmail which was an invitation-only beta for 2 years and 9 months followed by an open public beta which lasted a further 2 and a half years - 5 years and 3 months total.

Jamroom 5 has been in beta for just under 3 months, which is not very long by anyone's standards.

Ok, guess I'm just a bit anxious as my site needs to be revived.

Still cannot say for sure, but beta5 should be released this coming weekend.
