The Joomla project recently released Joomla 3.7, a feature rich release with over 700 improvements and 8 low-level security issues fixed.
The following new features have peeked our interest and are truly worth exploring:
- Custom fields for articles, users and contacts
- Great improvements for multilingual sites
- Workflow simplifications for article creation
- Customizable backend administrative menus
- TinyMCE editor improvements (new buttons for menu links and contacts)
Joomla 3.7 has its own landing page that will help you understand all the great new features and improvements.
The CB Team has been testing Joomla 3.7 with Community Builder and everything is working just fine.
We have updated our demo site which is now working on Joomla 3.7 and has all of our latest add-on releases.
As always you should make a full backup of your website before upgrading and if possible test everything on a cloned site first.
The known issues list for Joomla 3.7 has already identified a number of issues.
Based on this and the fact that the security issues fixed with Joomla 3.7 are all low level, our recommendation is to wait for Joomla 3.7.1 if any of these known issues causes you or your third party extensions problems.

From a technical perspective, CB Activity 4.0 is a masterpiece! It looks awesome on all viewing devices (desktops, tablets and smart-phones) and it auto-streams as soon as new happenings take place. And as CB Activity 4.0 is a total rewrite, it has an improved API that can now be taken advantage of by other add-ons.

To make things easier to upgrade we have created a single CB Package Builder powered install package (with these new releases and the latest CB) that all paid members (Professional / Developers) can download and install in a single pass. It is highly recommended all 4 are installed at once to ensure CB Activity compatibility between plugins. Additionally as with all major upgrades always backup your site first.

Joomla 3.7 Alpha 2 has been released for testing and it has some impressive new features!
Already since the Alpha 1 release, the 3.7 series has rolled out for testing the new Custom Fields feature and the new URL Routing feature.
There are two more interesting features worth mentioning in this Alpha 2 build:
- Multilingual Association Manager
This allows you to make translations from content into another language using one interface making things simpler for multilanguage websites.
You can read the detailed tracker description to learn more. - Backend Admin Menu Manager
With this feature you can create and use a custom admin menu that exists beside the preset admin menu. This will make rolling out new backend admin menus easier and the end result should be a much more friendly interface for special administrative groups.
More information about this can be found in the feature tracker item.
For a full list of Joomla 3.7 features you can study the 3.7 features tracker list.
Joomla is asking for our help to test these new features and to get Joomla 3.7 out.
