With BuddyPress 1.5 due any day now, we’d like to invite you to take the next major release for a test drive. If you’d like to help us out or even if you’re just curious what’s coming in 1.5, check out the official test site at testbp.org. It’s always running the latest versions of BuddyPress and bbPress, has almost 30,000 members, and is the best way to help us make sure everything is ready for release while letting you be safely behind the driver’s seat.
As a general reminder, we’re keeping running list of API changes for 1.5 in our codex at codex.buddypress.org.
We are putting the finishing touches on the forums component now, and are aiming to release 1.5 as soon as this week. Keep an eye out!
Before the release of BP 1.5 please please include the ability to comment to blog post directly from the activity stream as well as show comments posted directly in blog posts in the activity stream.
Speaking of he forum component, saw the mention “BuddyPress 1.5 activity streams and @mention integration” in the bbpress 2.0 RC4 post.
How does the integration with BuddyPress 1.5 and bbPress 2.0 RC4 work?
I’ve tested it the test site and no glitches that i could see so far. Guys it’s excellent that the new forum components will be added now in BuddyPress 1.5
Just a note that testbp.org says that it’s using Beta 2.
What do you mean ‘finishing touches’? Just bug fixes?
Are we okay using a Release Candidate on a live site, or should we wait for a “stable” release?
Thanks! 🙂
@InterMike: From the beta3 announcement:
“Please don’t run BuddyPress Beta software on your live production site. We know there will be quirks and we are keeping up with your bug reports as they come in.”
Total newb question here.
Would I be able to upgrade the awesome beta to the finished awesomeness?
Thanks.
But if we are testing and reporting bugs and it’s not solved or even commented on for 3 weeks now? a bit discouraging.

not sure if i did something wrong during the installation, but on a wpmu install with buddypress 1.5 beta3 enabled, i am not able to log out of admin account at all.
I can’t wait!
