The CB Team has been very active during the Joomla 3.2 effort and has contributed to make Joomla better for everyone.
To address the new password storage feature introduced in Joomla 3.2, the CB Team has released CB 1.9.1 which is available from the Free Download area (login required).
CB 1.9.1 is a maintenance release with no new features except for Joomla 3.2 support.
