Two new bbPress releases
Today we are releasing a new version of both bbPress 0.9 and bbPress 1.0-alpha.
The 0.9.0.4 stable release includes a security fix to stop a potential XSS attack on login pages with Internet Explorer 6, so it is highly recommended for all users.
Additionally, the 0.9.0.4 release includes a significant MySQL speed-up fix for front pages and forum pages that was discussed in the forums. Thanks to anotherdan and _ck_ for their efforts on that one.
The 1.0-alpha-5 release also includes the above fixes as well as an important fix to WordPress integration. Namely, automatic synchronisation of user roles should now work as expected.
You can get them both from the download page.
Looking forward to testing this weekend Sam. Should be a good project for the start of a new year! Woop woop!

Ok. But in WP 2.7 there isn’t “SECRET_KEY ” and still BBpress is asking for this. How is it possible? What I have to write in this box AUTH_KEY? SECURE_AUTH_KEY? LOGGED_IN_KEY??
>>This value must match the value of the constant named “SECRET_KEY” in your WordPress wp-config.php file. This will replace the bbPress cookie secret key set in the first step.

Do you plan such feature as import of phpBB database?

hey, I’m really looking forward to a version of bbpress that integrates with wordpress that I can use on a site. Do you have any idea when you’ll be out of alpha and into beta? otherwise, are there other simple alternatives?

Guys, you just have to change the design to this place. It’s awful.
Cheers in all the other means

Probably best to ask over in the forums, but it sounds like bad rewrite rules are getting in the way.

Import and export functionality is certainly desirable, but at the moment we aren’t doing any work on it directly.

That instruction is a typo. The keys that need to match are:
AUTH_KEY -> BB_AUTH_KEY
SECURE_AUTH_KEY -> BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY
LOGGED_IN_KEY -> BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY

security fix to stop a potential XSS attack !!!! that’s a great improvement. I had been facing this XSS attack for couple of wordpress sites but i think i got a way to get over this problem. nice work. i think these are going to be the best alternative of wordpress very soon if they keep showing works like this. wish you best of your luck.
