1.0 Beta 2

January 29, 2009 in News

1.0b2 versions of all components and themes are now available for download.

This release fixes hundreds of bugs found since beta 1, the vast majority found and reported by you, the community. Thank you for all the feedback, bug reports and patches so far.

We’re not quite done yet, please test this second beta as much as possible. Bugs should be reported on the BuddyPress Trac server, but you can also discuss potential issues with other users on the BuddyPress forums.

We’re three days later than expected with this beta. WordPress MU 2.7 was released yesterday, it made much more sense to sync up the release schedules to ensure there were no compatibility problems. The 1.0 release will now be February 12th, exactly two weeks from today.

BuddyPress Beta 2 Delayed Until WPMU 2.7 Final

January 23, 2009 in News

To avoid any unforeseen incompatibilities as WordPress MU ramps up to version 2.7, the second beta of the BuddyPress components will be delayed until WPMU 2.7 goes final.

The final 1.0 release of the BuddyPress components will also be offset by this amount of time.

Second Beta & 1.0 Final Dates

January 12, 2009 in News

I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas and New Year break.

Looking at the community involvement with beta one, many of you must have decided to skip the turkey and give BuddyPress a whirl! We’ve seen more than 8,000 zip downloads, a fantastic number for such a new project. This has translated into some excellent feedback and quality bug reporting. Thank you to everyone who has given their time to provide bug reports and feedback so far.

Now that there has been time to assess the quantity and severity of bugs coming in, it’s possible to set some dates.

There will be a second beta release available on January 26th, and the final 1.0 version of all component plugins and themes on February 9th.

As always, you can track all known bugs via the BuddyPress trac site. If you’re interested in helping out with bug fixing, there is a useful thread you can read on the BuddyPress forums.

If you’d like to keep up with the latest fixes as they are made, please use the trunk version of BuddyPress via Subversion.
