A quick note that bbPress.org has been updated to WordPress 3.8. bbPress 2.5 is fully compatible with this latest and greatest WordPress release, so you can update knowing that your bbPress powered forums will continue working as normal.
We’re also currently working on some performance improvements to bbPress for 2.6. If this sounds like something you’re interested in, check out the discussion on our Trac, maybe test a patch, and drop in some feedback if you have any.
Today we are releasing bbPress 2.5.1, the first bug-fix release to bbPress 2.5.
bbPress 2.5.1 fixes a few small issues with subscriptions and stylesheet theme compatibility that were introduced in 2.5.
Check out the 2.5.1 milestone on Trac, and go update to bbPress 2.5.1 to get the latest fixes!
Today the bbPress team is proud to release bbPress 2.5.

You should recognize Stephen as being a force in both the support forums and on Trac. He’s been hugely involved in developing and maintaining the multiple importers and converters that have been part of bbPress since 2.1. Stephen’s ability to learn quickly (by digging deep into the code to identify and quickly patch bugs) and his patience and persistence in the support forums, make him a welcome addition to the bbPress core team.
Stephen’s first tasks for the bbPress 2.5 development cycle will be introducing a few new converters, along with general bug fixing. You can follow the progress of bbPress 2.5 by visiting the milestone in our development tracker.
Congratulations Stephen, and thanks for your hard work and continued efforts!
