Out now is bbPress 2.2!
It comes with 69 individual fixes and enhancements since 2.1, and is a recommended update to any site running bbPress 2.0 or higher.
bbPress 2.2 is the third major release since becoming a plugin for WordPress back in October, 2011. Also since then, we’ve continued to work on the things you want the most, like easier integration with your existing WordPress theme, BuddyPress Group Forums, and more comprehensive User Roles. We think bbPress 2.2 is the best release yet, and we really hope you’ll think so to.
Here are some of the juicy details about bbPress 2.2:
- Added What’s New and Credits pages
- WordPress 3.5 and BuddyPress 1.7 ready
- Improved user roles and capabilities
- Improved theme compatibility
- Improved BuddyPress Group Forums integration
- Improved forums convertion tool
- Improved forums tools and settings
- Improved multisite support
- Numerous bug fixes and smaller enhancements
