We are releasing Public Technical Preview 3!
To motivate developers and understand the progress we have made, we are returning to the practice of releasing regular Public Technical Previews. The previous Public Technical Preview was released about a year and a half ago and since then we pushed over 800 new commits into the repository. A full list of changes can be read here (github.com/openvk/openvk/compare/public_preview_2...public_preview_3).

Therefore, we are happy to announce that we are releasing the third (github.com/openvk/openvk/releases/tag/public_preview_3) preview! This event does not directly affect the main instance (all changes will appear there immediately), but it will be quite convenient for those who want some stability (although be warned, OpenVK itself is not yet considered stable).

The more valuable role of these releases is that we plan to write various features on the site in advance, which brings some clarity to what will be implemented next. So, for example, here (github.com/openvk/openvk/milestone/2) you can see our plans for Public Technical Preview 4, which will be released in early May.

Also, releases are a good opportunity to look back and see what we managed to implement. Thanks to this, we see that the development does not stand still, but is actively moving forward (although there is no music yet).

Once again, thanks to everyone who contributed to our project, to those who use our site. And for those who, thanks to the release, found out about our project, we invite you to stay, because we have not yet reached the end.
