bbPress 2.0 Beta 3 has been released. bbPress development is on schedule with a hopeful final launch around the same time as WordPress 3.2. Since the previous release, the following changes have been made:
- Akismet integration
- Fixes replies within wp-admin
- Fixes reply notification links
- Fixes inconsistent breadcrumb behavior
- Fixes theme compatibility issues
- Fixes archive and page conflicts
- Improvements to unpretty permalink support
- Improvements to importer
- Improvements to multisite support
- Normalize theme, shortcodes, and template parts
- Add humans.txt
- Add empty index.php files to prevent snooping
- Add max length to topic titles (default 80 chars)
- Add shortcodes for login, register, and lost password forms
- Add proper redirect handling to topics and replies, allowing them to live almost anywhere
- Add permalink collision warnings if custom slugs conflict
Though the first release candidate should be the next step, bbPress 2 is still not necessarily ready for use on a live site yet, but bbPress theme and plugin developers are encouraged to start testing now. If you encounter any bugs, please report them to the bbPress Trac.
awesome! I’m using this on a new site I’m working on so it’ll be awesome 😀
