The first release candidate for BuddyPress 14.0.0 is now available!
“Release Candidate” means that we think the new version is ready for release, but with the many possible specific WordPress configurations, hundreds of BuddyPress plugins and Thousands of WordPress themes, it’s possible something was missed.
BuddyPress 14.0.0 is slated for release on July 12, 2024, and your help is needed to get there — if you haven’t tried 14.0.0 yet, doing it now is a great idea!
You can test the 14.0.0-RC pre-release in 5 ways :
- Try the BP Beta Tester plugin.
- Download the release candidate here (zip file).
- Check out our SVN repository:
svn co https://buddypress.svn.wordpress.org/trunk/ - Clone our read-only Git repository:
git clone git://buddypress.git.wordpress.org/ - Preview it into WP Playground
A detailed changelog will be part of our official release note, but you can get a quick overview by reading the post about the 14.0.0 Beta1 release.
