BuddyPress 1.0.2

June 24, 2009 in News

BuddyPress 1.0.2 is out now.

As with previous upgrades, the best way to get the latest is through the plugin browser in your WordPress installation (de-activate BuddyPress before auto-upgrading).

If you are using a language file with your installation you will need to re-download this after your upgrade. From version 1.1 onwards, we’ll bundle as many language files as possible to make the upgrade process smoother for non-english installations.

If you would like to upgrade manually you can download the latest then simply overwrite your existing plugin files (and themes if you are using the defaults). Please make sure you backup everything first.

This is not a critical upgrade, so it is not essential that you install this update. It does however fix a number of bugs that will improve your BuddyPress experience. For a full list of fixes, please see the updated release history.

Update: Please make sure you de-activate any 3rd party BuddyPress plugins before deactivating BuddyPress and running the auto-update.

BuddyPress Project Roadmap

June 16, 2009 in Community, News

The votes are in, tallied, and the BuddyPress roadmap is now complete, ready for all to see. Thank you to everyone who gave their input.

The roadmap should give everyone a good idea of what they should expect to see in the next four versions of BuddyPress. You will also see both the status updates and albums components show up within these versions.

I really want to encourage developers to get involved with the project. If you’re a developer and would like to see some of these features (in v1.2+) appear sooner, here’s your chance to help make a big difference.

Group creation is now open on this site, why not pick a feature you’d be interested in working on and create a group for it? By doing this you’ll encourage other BuddyPress developers to join in, discuss the feature and give feedback. I’ll be more than happy to take a look at plugins that add roadmap features and consider them for inclusion in the core of BuddyPress. You may even end up as a core committer.

If you’re interested in development, you should also be spending time in the #buddypress-dev IRC room on Freenode (don’t rely on the Java client though). We frequently have BuddyPress development and plugin discussions in there.

If you have any specific questions, please feel free to DM me or comment on this post, I’ll do my best to answer.
