If CB 1.7 is the stable version out at the moment, works well, and most of the bugs have been fixed by now, why not make GroupJive 2.5RC2 backwards compatible with it? If GJ 2.5RC2 will not work on CB 1.7 due to changing the ACL API, can you simply fix CJ 2.5RC1 or GJ 2.4 permission issues then, since they use the 1.7 ACL API?

No, that's the purpose of a new release; to fix bugs and add new features.If you're not going to roll this out for current/existing Community Builder applications (CB 1.7 and below), can you fix Groupjive 2.4 then?
We're using CB 1.8 RC here at Joomlapolis. We consider it pretty stable. Our release schedule is as follows.I don't understand the rush and flux of untested and buggy RC versions, when you haven't fixed stable versions yet.
Beta
RC
Stable
We've given you the RC to help test and ensure a quality stable release. If we can't get proper feedback then you'll never have a stable release. I can only fix what issues I am aware of and have fixed all known issues in GJ 2.5.
You won't lose any customization unless you edited source code, which we've clearly stated numerous times we don't support core edits and that you'll lose your edits when you upgrade. All changes should be done through CB plugins as we've triggers for pretty much everything.I spent several hours customizing CB 1.7 and I feel comfortable with it not having bugs and it's been built to fit my site.
GJ 2.5 does fix those issues.I have been waiting patiently since Nov 2011 for a fix to GJ 2.4, which was told Groupjive 2.5 would work and fix the 2.4 permission bugs on my site.
Part of some of GJs fixes is to use new API in CB 1.8, so yes you need to upgrade your CB release. CB 1.8 RC is being used here at Joomlapolis so we consider it pretty stable. We're working on more bug fixes for CB 1.8 and working towards a stable release of CB 1.8 very soon. Same for GJ 2.5, but it will still require CB 1.8.Now you are telling me that I have to completely revamp my site with another potentially buggy CB 1.8RC before I can use Groupjive 2.5?
It's an RC I don't expect you to install it on a live site. It's for testing and feedback purposes primarily. I don't recommend installing RCs on a stable live site, but often our RCs are stable enough for production use.What if CB 1.8RC brings a whole new host of problems and hurts my live site and waste several hours of time changing all this over and redoing customizations to uninstall it if it causes new issues?
GJ 2.5 Stable isn't released yet. CB 1.8 Stable will release before GJ 2.5 Stable and thus GJ 2.5 Stable will use some APIs from CB 1.8 Stable and therefor require CB 1.8 Stable.If CB 1.7 is the stable version out at the moment, works well, and most of the bugs have been fixed by now, why not make GroupJive 2.5RC2 backwards compatible with it?
No, I won't be fixing previous releases. Part of the permissions fix required new API.If GJ 2.5RC2 will not work on CB 1.7 due to changing the ACL API, can you simply fix CJ 2.5RC1 or GJ 2.4 permission issues then, since they use the 1.7 ACL API?
