This may not be the answer you want to here but it will be done when its done. Let the core team do what they need to do. When they feel they have enough feed back to release a stable version then they will.
You need to tracking this dev blog really if you want answers like that.
We’re going to be packaging up BuddyPress 1.7…
As it says any moment now but to all intent and purpose the RC1 is likely the version that will get released there probably won’t be any significant changes.
However firm release dates are never possible to state
whoohoo! awesome work
btw there’s spam comments on the bpdevel blog
awesome! thank you all! 😀
In fact as we speak the version numbering is being adjusted in core so likely we are going to see a release today perhaps in the next few hours.
A tag version of trunk has been created so that is essentially the release package ready for zipping.
