A quick note that BuddyPress.org has been updated to WordPress 3.8. Also, BuddyPress 1.8 is fully compatible with the latest and greatest version of WordPress, so you can safely update knowing that BuddyPress will cooperate completely.
We’ve also updated BuddyPress.org to run what will be BuddyPress 1.9, which we’re preparing to release on Monday, December 16.
