The CB Team has just released version 2.0 of its Captcha plugin to the Joomlapolitans who are financially supporting us as subscribers to the documentation service. Current documentation subscribers will find that their private download area now contains 3 files: the CB 1.1 detailed documentation pdf file (144 pages – 85 figures), the CB PMS Integration document pdf file (17 pages – 15 figures) and the (just in) Captcha 2.0 plugin distribution package.

The J! Team has just released RC2 of its 1.5 version – just in time for Joomla’s second birthday! Detailed information is available on Joomla dot org. The CB Team and the CB test-team has been helping out during this last mile (as the CB community has done with previous Joomla releases) to identify problems and even propose fixes. While tests are executed against many functional areas of the available builds, the CB test team is focused in identifying compatibility issues with the latest CB suite (i.e. CB 1.1.0).
The CB Team will evaluate this release and identify any compatibility issues between CB 1.1.0 and Joomla 1.5 RC2. Please subscribe to the forum discussion below to stay informed regarding such compatibility issues.
The CB Team wishes Joomla a happy second birthday!

The CB Team is proud to announce the release of version 1.1 of the Community Builder suite. This release contains many bug-fixes, security hardenings and new features. Due to the security enhancements comming with this release, all CB websites are highly encouraged to upgrade to version 1.1 soon.
This release is compatible with Joomla 1.0.X (including 1.0.13 and any previously released versions like 1.0.12) , Joomla 1.5 RC1, and Mambo 4.5.2-4.6.2. You can download the CB 1.1 distribution package from the CB Team Releases section of the Joomlapolis download area (remember to unzip the distribution package and follow the README.txt instructions closely).
Note (added Dec. 02. 2006)
CB 1.0.2 is not compatible with Joomla 1.0.10. So, if you want to install or upgrade to CB 1.0.2, you need to upgrade to Joomla 1.0.11.
The CB Core Team has just released version 1.0.2 of the Joomla Community Builder Suite.
This security, performance and stability release can be found in the download area of Joomlapolis (here) and the project area on the forge (here).
All CB installations should be upgraded to this release as soon as possible as a number of low, medium and potentially high security issues have been addressed, as well as a number of anti-spamming hardenings have been made. Although there are no known exploits at release time for the security issues that have been found and fixed by CB core team, we strongly advise for an upgrade.
New features have been kept to a minimum to maximize stability and security.
These include:
- Compatibility with Joomla 1.5 beta 1 (for evaluation and test purposes only)
- CB Login support for Missus, PMS Enhanced and JIM.
- Core plugin support for PMS Enhanced and JIM.
- New tools option in CB backend to perform database checks on integrity of the CB database.
- Plugin API improvements.
- Many minor bug fixes.
- Expert installation package to preserve existing plugins (study readme very carefully!)
- For a complete list please see the artifacts list on the forge.
Due to the extensive improvements and optimizations, this release is expected to run much faster and to use less memory than previous releases. For example, the connections path tab can now be safely published and used on large sites.
The CB Core Team would like to thank the CB Testers that have been pounding away at the test builds in order to
make this release (as all previous ones) as solid as possible.

{mosimage}Joomla! core team released today Joomla! 1.5 beta, exactly one year after starting development, for community tests. Joomla! 1.5 is by no way a production site release, but is a big step forward for Joomla!
Community Builder team has participated in tests, debuging and some fixes to make sure that Community Builder interoperates well also with Joomla! 1.5 and has been one of the components used for testing the Joomla! 1.5 1.0 API legacy support.
As Community Builder uses some deep API functions of Joomla, a few adaptations have been needed for Joomla 1.5 beta and are currently in CB testteam. Please note that CB 1.0.1 does not run on Joomla! 1.5 beta. We will be releasing CB 1.0.2 maintenance release in the next days, with support for Joomla! 1.5, and some more to be announced soon. CB 1.0.2 will be a strongly recommended upgrade for all users, including Joomla 1.0.11 users and fixes also a few Mambo 4.6.1 API incompatibilities.
Stay tuned and happy playing with Joomla! 1.5 in the mean time.
Nov. 8th Update
Community Builder 1.0.2 build 3 has just been released to CB testteam for final tests. Expected date of release is currently Friday Nov 10th.
Nov. 10th Update
We found a few bugs in testteam build 3 of Community Builder 1.0.2 and are working on a new candidate build 4. Estimated date is moving to Monday/Tuesday Nov 13/14th for the stable release 1.0.2.
Nov. 14th Update
Community Builder 1.0.2 candidate build 4 has made its steps through testteam, and is now running on a few larger-sized live sites, which showed some last very annoying bugs, most of which got fixed. Although active CB-testteam members and CB dev team worked very hard in the last days, we didn't make it for today. Sorry about that, but... But we achieved something today which made us very happy, and will make most of you and your users also happy... weee...CB 1.0.2 flies. More at release time ;-) . Estimated date is now set to Confirmed Date status for Thursday Nov 16th for the stable release 1.0.2. Tomorrow, JoomlaPolis and test-sites will be updated with final build 5, and as soon as all fixes are fully tested, we will make the release. Thanks for your understanding and patience (and good night for today).
Nov. 19th Update
Community Builder 1.0.2 candidate build 5 is running on this site, as well as on a few other high-traffic sites. Almost all is ok now, and public release has been prepared, but a nasty last minute problem has been located on one of the live sites. We spent a few hours to down-drill the problem into a new security feature, using indirectly a php function, which we just found to be badly buggy in older but supported php releases. We are currently designing a work-around this nasty php engine bug, and as soon as it's tested, we will release. Hard to tell an exact release time yet, but we are trying to do our best to get this out the door asap. Sorry about the delay, but it's very very hard to predict when it will be ready for prime-time, as the work-around isn't trivial (actually no work-arounds are proposed for that php bug, except to update to latest. And as this is not an option for most hosted sites, we need to design our own workaround !
