   So far the biggest issue I have found with plugins that will make them incompatible with bbPress 1.0 (including the current alpha) is the direct access of topicmeta for either topics or bbpress options (topic #0).

   To find plugins that do this, simply do a text search on them for the exact string "->topicmeta" (without quotes). Just to be on the safe side you can also try "-> topicmeta" with a space but I think that will be rare or impossible.

   So far I have found and fixed a couple of mine, and I am currently working to upgrade bb-topic-views.

   Let me know if you find others.

   The way I deal with fixing topicmeta is like this, though there may be other ways:

   old:
   

   if ( $topics = (array) $bbdb->get_col("SELECT topic_id FROM $bbdb->topicmeta WHERE meta_key = 'rating'") ) :

   new:
   

   if (bb_get_option('bb_db_version')>1600) {$item="object_id as topic_id"; $table="$bbdb->meta WHERE object_type='bb_topic' AND";}
   else {$item="topic_id"; $table="$bbdb->topicmeta WHERE";}
   if ( $topics = (array) $bbdb->get_col("SELECT $item FROM $table meta_key = 'rating'") ) :

   I've found another incompatibility
   in how "tags" are now "terms".

   Any plugin that accesses tags directly will fail.

   Old plugins can be found by searching for "->tags"
   (without the quotes)

   So essentially there are two "dead" tables after upgrading from 0.9 to 1.0 "bb_topicmeta" and "bb_tags". But I wouldn't delete them until 1.0 is final/gold.
