First of all many many thanks to Kyle and Nick for their help in getting all the bug fixes and compatibility improvements into CB 1.9, and to the CB Test-team for their tests and early feedbacks, as well as to our Professional and Developer Members for their support and early feedbacks on the 1.9 RC release.

CB 1.9 Stable fixes all known bugs of CB 1.9 RC and of CB 1.8.1, and is thus a recommended stability and compatibility release.

Thanks for the update CB Team! I'm very pleased about the Joomla 3.0 compatibility. I hope to use Joomla 3.0 soon.

This is exciting!

I have no plans to switch to Joomla 3 until Joomla 3.5 in 2014.

So sticking with 2.5 for now, if I go ahead and click the update button now, it won't break my current site will it? lol

Updating to CB 1.9 on Joomla 2.5 updated just fine on my end.

Hmmm I may risk it then, it's just I use some external plugins that also have CB integration, such as Akeebasubs etc.

I'll do a quick backup first and then go ahead
