v1.9.4 is .NET v3.5 SP1 ONLY!

This Release Candidate fixes a big issue with fresh installations failing completely. It also adds improved speed for larger forums by only pulling required post text.

This release would not have been possible without all the wonderful YAF developers! [thumbup]

Note: In v1.9.4 the AppSettings have changed! YAF.Root is now YAF.AppRoot! There is a new AppSetting: YAF.FileRoot which defaults to AppRoot but can be set to something different if desired. Also added is BaseUrlMask which is the server value override for all external links (e.g. links from emails, etc.). Read the included app.config file comments for more information.

Note: In v1.9.4, the name of the upload folder has changed! Rename from "upload" to "uploads"!

Languages may be out of date to the latest in english.xml. Help with this is appreciated.

API Documentation

YafAPIDocumentation.chm is the compiled docs for the YAF v1.9.4 beta API. It provides a nice way to search or lookup related classes. Currently, it's rather limited as real API documentation is very time consuming (e.g. examples, "see also"). It will be evolving over time.

Compiling

If you do want to compile the source, please download Visual Studio 2010 Express .

SRC: Includes the compiled forum and forum page files with full source and binaries for NET v3.5 SP1.

BIN: Includes the compiled forum and forum page files without the source for NET v3.5 SP1.

Download Source and Install Package 

Hi Jaben I just tested this out and I didn't noticed any speed difference, actually I beleive its slower with this release. Let know if you want me to provide anything happy to help out where I can.

The problem is that to make it universal Sql Server 2005 is required, we can't make smth. like SELECT TOP number * FROM ... in 2000, the 'number' should be a constant. The sp should be cached anyway and this can't be implemented as a dynamic query.

In 2000 terms it can be done, but the number of posts should be discrete like 5, 10, 20 and a last messageid on a page as a start point.

Thanks.

sp post_list

pages/posts.aspx

But the feature is a rather complex one.

It requres some thanks feature modification too.

I don't know what Jaben thinks about it, but if you'll implement the core db paging functionality I could do the rest, when I have time, currently I don't have it, as I need speed boost for other data layers and it can be published as a community modification in any case.

What is slower? The post_list call?

ohh need to be logged in...flag that!
