Congratulations on another great bbPress release!
congrats for achieving so many fixes..
plz, update the download page for easy access for all … 🙂
Huge thanks to John James Jacoby & company for this tremendous release. Updating our legacy BuddyPress forum is now starting to seem very realistic. Now it’s just a matter of reaching feature parity through plugins.
My only request for future releases would be that they’re a little bit closer together, i.e. with fewer features per release. That said, every major feature in this release was quite essential.
When will the official forum be migrated off bbpress 1.x to 2?
Or at least, where can I find a demo of bbpress 2.1 to play with?
JJJ ran the converter 12 hours ago. If everything went well, expect the forum to be updated within a few days. A lot can come up with a forum & site of this magnitude though.
Congratulations!
I *heart* carrots 🙂
very nice

Eventually we’ll have major versions setup there too, since “plugin” is pretty ambiguous.
