2.0 eta?

[lezzgiles]

I'm a new zabbix user, upgrading from nagios. I've installed 1.9.9 and got it working for a single host, but now I don't know how to proceed
- I could start using 1.9.9 as my production system, except that it's beta and some stuff doesn't work (e.g. templates, which are fixed on HEAD, but then that really means I'd need to start living off of HEAD which is not generally a good idea for a production environment)
- I could start using 1.8.10 and upgrade when 2.0 releases, but this is probably close to double the work, and I'd need to learn 1.8 and then relearn everything when I upgrade
- I could wait for 2.0 - I found a statement that says it'll be released when all blocking issues are resolved, and I found a chart that shows all blocking issues have been resolved, but still no release....

So is there any timescale for the 2.0 release? Is it going to be in days, weeks, or months? I'm not looking for a hard (or even a soft) date, just a general idea.

"We are very excited to be an exhibitor in CeBIT 2012. We are international company with many partners and customers in Germany as well as the rest of the world. We look forward to meeting with our local partners and hope to extend our large network of acquaintance as a result of this exhibition. Later this spring we are having a major release of Zabbix 2.0 and CeBIT 2012 is a great place to share this news and tell everybody about the advantages of new version."

hmm. where have you seen such a chart ? the one i'm seeing says "3 blockers"
also, first release candidate will be released ~ then. i would expect lots of people to start testing only then and a bunch of new blockers to be found...

not days or weeks is all i can guess at right now

Quite frankly go for this route if you aim for a production set up.

Once you get the philosophy behind zabbix going from 1.8 to 2.0 is more an evolutionary step ..

The hard part is nagios to zabbix...
