The CB Team is very excited to announce the release of its Joomla 1.7 ready CB 1.7 RC to all Professional Members. CB 1.7 RC installs and operates on all Joomla 1.5.x, Joomla 1.6.x and the latest Joomla 1.7 CMS (and Joomla 1.0.x / Mambo 4.6.5).

What happened with CB 1.5 and CB 1.6?

Until that time, the CB Team with the assistance of it's Professional membership feedback and it's Testing and Language Working groups will ensure that the resulting public release will be of top quality.
