With any luck, updating your mods for Wedge should be a one-off process since, with any luck, add-ons will be much more stable between versions :)

In other news, I'm honestly curious to see how many mod authors upgrade their mods to 2.0 final.

That's mostly a non issue actually - we couldn't have done so before either anyway because it's a trademark and TM usage rules govern that too.

The final sync is done, so I just need to breeze through the files and verify that we got everything we were supposed to get and nothing that predates their licence crap remaining.

! Sync to SMF 2.0 final. I really can't be arsed to do this commit by commit, so I won't.
! Fix of editor width in IE8, basically any time a relative width is applied to the editor, it goes funny. The fix is IE8 specific... and only after applying it did I wonder if it shouldn't just have been added to the IE8 specific markup and be done with it >_< It's there for now, can always change it later. (Themes.template.php, SendTopic.template.php, Profile.template.php, PersonalMessage.template.php, ModerationCenter.template.php, ManageNews.template.php, ManageMembergroups.template.php, ManageBoards.template.php, Display.template.php, Admin.template.php)
! Non-broken version of admin compare-versions function. I took the liberty of removing the switch-and-bait that changed 2.0 RC1-1 into 2.0 RC1.1. (admin.js)
! Fix of language guidance in permission string. (ManagePermissions.english.php)
! Non-broken version compare in package manager. In the end we're going to be ditching this because we should really use the proper PHP function instead. (Subs-Package.php)
! Search should also use the non-broken version of version compare. (Search2.php)
! Make sure to use the correct URL when just after we've uploaded an avatar and we go back to the profile (as on a custom folder it would be wrong) (Profile-Modify.php)
! Things not included
! Removal of comma in Who.template.php because 'name, name, and name' was wrong apparently. Our template's been gutted since then.
! Applying $context['theme_variant_url'] in the board index for expand/collapse images as not relevant to us.
! PostgreSQL fix to manage membergroups because PostgreSQL returns F for false instead of 0 like MySQL, and the code doesn't like it.
@ Important: While this represents the final change set until 2.0 final, I need to do one last sweep of the files to verify that we got everything we had to get and that anything we didn't, is dealt with appropriately. I'm pretty happy that it's a non-issue, but given what's been said before now, I have to be sure.

I'd use Linux at this point, mount it readonly and see what you can scavenge out of it. There is a took I acquired years ago, called SpinRite, that's pretty good at fixing issues - but I don't know if it works on NTFS or not.
http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk would also be worth trying at this point.

And they still managed to fuck up the release with the wrong links and stuff. Bravo.
Still, this means I can do one last sync, a final compare and kiss them goodbye.

There are some backwards incompatible changes in 5.3 versus earlier, but nothing that affects properly written code and for the benefits (and performance enhancements) it's worth making the move.

*shrug* Can never have enough RAM, but it depends what you're doing. I stuck 8GB in mine last year mostly because I was doing heavy virtualisation stuff at the time running Win Server 2k3 in VirtualBox.

Linux Format ships internationally but it is a UK based magazine...

You could always grab the latest issue of Linux Format - it always has a live CD on the front.

Judging by the comments here, 5.2 is easily a safe bet, but that 5.3 isn't unrealistic... :) (Crap, I might actually have to update my local machine in that case)

Cache folders are bad voodoo, mess with them at your peril. Good to hear it was at least partly recoverable :)
