I think it’s here: https://bbpress.org/blog/
Looks like a security issue.
Thanks for that.
I guess I was being silly by checking here instead: https://codex.bbpress.org/releases/
In the plugin admin page I had clicked on View Details > Changelog > Check out the releases page.
Cheers

Yeah, I know. You can actually find it there but you have to scroll all the way down to the bottom and then you still have to click on the Blog link. So you might as well go right to the blog.
What I’m still trying to figure out … If you go here: https://bbpress.org/download/
Then it shows a 2.7.0 Alpha release.
Maybe someone who understands the “process” here better can comment on how you figure out what the expected timeline for that is, and how you search in the Trac database to determine what’s going to be in it. I can’t quite figure that out. I sure wish it would include ticket #3589 which is preventing me from updating PHP 🙂
It’s not clear to me whether the person? People? who actually make the releases watch this forum or not.
I did scroll to the bottom and it wasn’t listed there. Looks like they just added it.
Yeah, I’ve noticed that sometimes you have to wait for a day (or two?) for that page to get updated. I think that, for some updates, it never happens. Best to just use the Blog page.
👋 Hi there!
It’s mostly still me working on bbPress, with bug reports & help here and there from the community which are always helpful and appreciated!
I simply forgot to update the Codex page, so thank you for asking here 😅
The build & release process is still pretty manual, because it includes updates to multiple WordPress pages & such (as you’ve all noticed here).
(I do read the forums almost every day, and think they work best when I stay out of them and the community helps itself & each other – and moderators like @robin-w are obviously especially helpful.)
@johnjamesjacoby, It’s really good to know that you still read the forums. Robin is great, but he doesn’t do releases. I assume we’re depending on you for that. Can you provide any insight into the status of 2.7.0 Alpha? I’m assuming that, if I knew how, I could at least query Trac to find out which bugs are attached (if that’s the right term) to that release, and so on. But I just don’t know how to make those queries. Any info (or help on how to get it) would be appreciated!
And thanks so much for the all the work that you do on bbPress! I for one am glad that bbPress is stable. The last thing I want is a bunch of new features. But updates when things are deprecated by WP (or BuddyPress) are *very much* appreciated.

There are a few ways, but I usually use the Roadmap.
See: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/roadmap
You’ll see the various releases as headings there, and you can click around to get the various ticket reports.
It’s all pretty fluid though. For example, the 2.6.12 release wasn’t really planned, so the minor issues got bumped to 2.6.13, and if a new security release needs to happen quickly, they’ll get bumped again, etc…
I appreciate the kind words. I love bbPress, and I do hope to be able to put a lot more time towards it again!
Thanks for that info. I didn’t realize there was a 2.6.13 in the works. It says on the download page that 2.7.0 is “what we run here at bbPress.org” — is that still true, or would it be 2.6.13?
I’m really glad to hear that you’ll be having more time for bbPress! (And I’m sure I’m not the only one.)
