We are planning to upgrade ASAP to v3.0 once released. Anyone attempting to connect to our Ventrilo server or planning to should read the following notice from Hurricane Host announcing v3.0.0 Coming Soon; which explains the changeover in more detail:
Hurricane Host wrote:We *HIGHLY* recommend you notify your users immediately to the impending upgrade and then upgrade the server Wednesday morning (the client is supposed to be released shortly after midnight and we've scheduled our servers to start allowing the upgrade around 01:15am CST Wednesday morning), giving everyone 2 full days to download and install the client to connect to your server.
Flagship Industries plans to release Ventrilo v3.0.0 sometime on Wednesday, November 14, 2007.
This new version requires a new client be downloaded and installed on every user's PC or MAC. The client is available at http://www.ventrilo.com/download.php
The Ventrilo v3.0.0 client is *NOT* compatible with v2.3 servers, so once you upgrade your client you will only be able to connect to Ventrilo v3 servers. When a v2.3 client tries to connect to a v3.0 server it will pop a message saying the server is running v3.0.0. However, if you install the v3.0.0 client and then try connecting to a v2.3 server it will just sit there saying "Contacting server" and will never come back. You can click disconnect to stop this process.
As of now, we have updated the Control Panel to be ready for v3.0.0. The new files will be put into place sometime after the expected release time on Wednesday.
As for upgrading servers, we are providing a way for everyone to perform their own upgrades. On Wednesday, we will open the "Upgrade" option in the Control Panel. Simply click the link and the system will upgrade your server. This process CANNOT be reversed (this means the upgrade is PERMANENT). Make sure you communicate with your users when you plan on upgrading your server so they don't upgrade their client too early.
Those servers that have not been upgraded by the evening of Friday, November 16, 2007 (US Eastern Time) will be upgraded sometime between Friday evening and Monday morning. If your server falls into this category, when you receive the "server is running 3.0.0" error in your Ventrilo v2.3 client, you need to then visit the Ventrilo Download Link (mentioned above) to download and install the Ventrilo v3.0.0 client.
