Hi!

The second release candidate for BuddyPress 5.0.0 is now available for an ultimate round of testing!

Since the first release candidate, we’ve improved the way BP REST API Controllers are loaded inside BuddyPress component classes.

This is an important milestone as we progress toward the BuddyPress 5.0.0 final release date. “Release Candidate” means that we think the new version is ready for release, but with more than 200,000 active installs, hundreds of BuddyPress plugins and Thousands of WordPress themes, it’s possible something was missed. BuddPress 5.0.0 is scheduled to be released on Monday, September 30, but we need your help to get there—if you haven’t tried 5.0.0 yet, now is the time!

Download and test the 5.0.0-RC2

PS: as usual you alternatively get a copy via our Subversion repository.

A detailed changelog will be part of our official release note, but you can get a quick overview by reading the post about the 5.0.0 Beta1 release.

If you think you’ve found a bug, please let us know reporting it on the support forums and/or on our development tracker.

Thanks in advance for giving this second release candidate a test drive!
