Tests, fixes, tests, fixes, tests....CB 1.2 RC2 beta 3 and paid subs plugin beta 9 are in test-teams Print

Lots of tests are underway right now:

  • CB 1.2 RC 2 beta 3 is in CB testteam, 90 testers have received notification for test a few minutes ago.
  • CB paid subscriptions plugin is since this week in beta 9: 10 testers are trying it on live sites, over 50 bugs got fixed since beta 8, and around 20 bugs and 3 features are left until commercial release.

It has been very busy months since over a year here, and we are happy to see things coming to great stability and nearing stable release quality.

CB 1.2 also has lots of old code rewritten in a modular way, and a better structured, new API, while preserving backwards compatibility.

The cross-platforms native support has also been a huge work, which is now stabilized thanks to the lots of tests done in the past months by the test-teams.

Finally CB 1.2 sets a milestone in CB as it sets solid grounds for CB releases 1.3 and 2.0, that we hope both to see the light in 2008, thanks to the really nice and solid support of the CB documentation subscribers.

If you asked yourself if the 25 euros of yearly doc subscription really make a difference to us ? , the answer is yes, they do. They allow us to work full-time on CB and this site since a few months, and that makes a huge difference for this project and the impressively big community using it. We hope that this community support will continue and even get stronger, so that we can really boost this project into the next generation of social networks.

There are really lots of good things which are being developed in the last year, and really exciting progress is being made on all fronts. Not always as fast as we would like it to be, but as a result much more stable and flexible than we imagined when setting the initial goals for CB 1.2, and for the first release of the CB paid subscriptions plugin.

Very special thanks go to the CB testteams, and also to severdia for the nice icons designs that he donated to the CB project, that you see in CB 1.2 RC, and there are some more which are now in CB 1.2 RC 2 login module as well.

Special thanks also goes to the whole community on this site, which has been very supportive to this project, and very active in making it better and better, step by step, contribution by contribution, idea after idea, positive feedbacks, improvement ideas, information, wishes, dreams, all good things making this project what it is today. Thank YOU all, and special thanks to all of you who actively helped in forums, those who subscribed to the documentation, those who helped others, those who shared results, code, designs, ideas, contributed to the community openly. That's what makes a community strong.

The last months have been very exciting, the next months will be even more exciting...

It has been a great pleasure to have been part of CB moving to J! 1.5 in the form of CB 1.2. The testing has been fun on my part anyway.
Glad to contribute

I'm happy to be a participating member of Joomlapolis and also to have donated via the subscription. CB has allowed me to build golf's best social networking site and it is getting better all the time!
Joomla + CB will be better than MySpace

The open architecture of Joomla will soon make it possible for the ordinary person to build a MySpace, a Facebook, or something even better. Pretty cool!
CB 2.0 this year?

Please don't set such expectation, when you don't even have a released version of 1.2 yet. You know December will hit, and SOMEONE is going to cry that you failed, because 2.0 did get released. I for one, would LOVE IT!, but I don't expect to see it. I am a gamer, I am use to major delays. I play the delaystation 3.
Awesome!

The new CB 1.2 is turning into a powerhouse of new features and stability! There is nothing like it in the Joomla environment. And when the CB Subscriptions commercial plugin system is released, there will be no stopping Joomla websites with CB 1.2 + Subs to offer strong, feature-rich subscription based websites that control features and content based on existing subscription status. And all of this without any hacks or modification to core Joomla or CB code! 
Very exciting times indeed!!!!!
