Joomla 2.5 has just been released!
The Community Builder team congratulates the Joomla community for the release of it's latest Long Term Support (LTS) Joomla 2.5.0 package!
New releases are always considered as progress and moving forward. Everyone likes a shining new product and most of our 439,064 members will rush to take this baby for a test-drive.
Looking past the version jump gap from previous Joomla 1.7.3 release (actually Joomla 1.7.4 was just released also) and the hype, the following three questions should most likely be on most people's minds:
- What's new in Joomla 2.5 ?
- What will happen to previous versions of Joomla ?
- How should Community Builder users react ?
Let's tackle these questions and give as much information as possible. This way everyone can make their own educated decisions regarding this release and the way forward for their unique situation.

As we are quickly approaching the new CBSubs release (version 1.3), I have been testing and documenting the new features and improvements. One of the major highlighted features is the CBSubs Mailer integration plugin that, in my opinion, will be a killer for all membership environments. So, I am sharing some of the concepts and use case scenarions that I am working on (to by included in the documentation) as a sneak preview of this awesome new feature set.

In case you missed this, the Joomla project has just released two new security-tagged releases for Joomla 1.7 and Joomla 1.5. The official note states: "High Priority - Core - Password Change Vulnerability".
Reading between the lines it looks like weak random number generation technics used in previous versions could lead to unwanted password changing. The obvious question is: Since I use Community Builder for my registration and login processes, should I be concerned?
As with any Joomla security release, the CB team spent some time to analyze the vulnerability and to assess the implications for Community Builder, all CB team add-ons, GroupJive and Incubator add-ons, and for the CB community and our own sites and hosting. When serious concerns exist, we inform the CB community through our homepage, our social channels, and our security mailing list.
