BuddyPress Developers: Make hay while the sun shines…

If you have a BuddyPress plugin or theme that you support, you have very little time left to get your code compatible with BuddyPress 1.6 before the official release. Core BuddyPress developer Boone Gorges has reported that there have been very few changes that would affect plugin compatibility. However, you’ll want to check your plugin to make sure. Commercial theme developers especially will want to stay one step ahead of the game so their products can immediately support the latest and greatest version of BuddyPress.
