Note: As this is in development, we do not recommend running SMF 2.0 RC2 on a production site.

 

Just how beta is beta? i.e. will I get away with using it at this stage or is phpfreaks using because they know SMF/PHP inside out?

 

 

"How beta is beta" is irrelevant since the version PHPFreaks is running on isn't a beta: it's a release candidate.  Running the RC allows any last-minute bugs to be discovered and squashed before the full release, that's the open-source way.  Sure, perhaps best not putting a mission-critical part of a business on this version but a PHP forum... sure. :)

Maybe you should tell the SMF team that. They don't seem to have figured that out yet.

Fair enough. If it's good enough for a site with this much frequent traffic then it'll suffice for my own humble project.
