@Roland, thewebsurfer, socialfan:

Yes CB 2.0 was planned years ago and yes CB 2.0 b3 has taken longer than expected.

You are disappointed - so are we.

I can quote reasons for delay but I will not, because it will not help get things out sooner. The team is working as quickly as possible to get things ready for next release.

You are all free to explore solutions that you feel will support your use cases as best as possible, but please, keep this discussion focused on its topic.

Thank you.

- The Advanxed search function that forgets the search criteria

We've yet to implement the advanced search back into the XML backend usage, but hopefully the search criteria can be maintained when navigating back to user management. It's something I'll be testing for once we've it implemented back in.

Filtering in all lists, ie Fields list

This has already been implemented. All the management pages have a lot of filtering options. For example you can filter field management to a specific type, tab, etc..

It would be much more useful to have a standard Control panel as CB landing page instead of the credits page, like most other components.

This is also planned. Basically a control panel page similar to what you see in CBSubs. Idea is this page would also have some statistics about the users like recently registered and more (already implemented similar statistics on frontend using modules).
