CB Connect 7.0 beta 5 is available for download and testing by all paid members.
If you have been following this add-on's progress you are probably aware that it was delayed because of its dependency on a third-party API library.
Well, we finally decided to drop this dependency and move forward using our own code.
As Kyle already commented this new beta curently supports authentication from the following 10 social newtwork providers:
- Windows Live
- Foursquare
- GitHub
- VKontakte
- Steam
There are also plans to add more in upcoming CB Connect 7.0 RC release.
As we are currently in rapid development mode we would like as many people to as possible to download and test this new release and report issues in the forum discussion below.
This way we will quickly reach a stable release.

Community Builder 2.0.13 is a maintenance release that fixes 21 bugs and adds 6 new features (PHP 7 compatibility, Bootstrap and Fontawesome updates - see forum discussion for full changelog) paving the way for the upcoming Joomla 3.5 release.
CB 2.0+ websites can be upgraded to latest CB 2.0.13 using the built-in Joomla upgrader or with a simple install over (precautionary backup always recommended) as all previous settings are kept.
The CB Primer Book is valid and the CB 2.0 Add-on compatibility chart has been updated.
CB 2.0.13 now supports PHP 5.3.3 to PHP 7. Please note that Joomla 3.5 will be needed for PHP 7 support, as Joomla 3.4 is not PHP 7 compatible.

"Security is an ongoing journey: The best way to stay safe is to always stay up-to-date" says Beat (CB Team and JSST - Joomla Security Strike Team member).
The previous Joomla 3.4.6 critical security release triggered an in depth security investigation by the JSST Team to better understand the true nature and cause of this vulnerability.
This "follow the code" process has identified the root cause of this issue down to a specific PHP security bug, already fixed on 4th September 2015 in PHP 5.4.45, 5.5.29 and 5.6.13 (and also in all PHP 7 releases) and also in all major Linux distributions back in September 2015
In an effort to help secure Joomla against poorly maintained hosting environments, the Joomla project has released Joomla 3.4.7 along with Joomla 2.5 and 1.5 code fixes.
This means that:
- All Joomla 3.4 websites should be upgraded to Joomla 3.4.7
- All Joomla 2.5/1.5 websites that cannot upgrade to Joomla 3 should apply the EOL Security Hotfixes
These actions will protect your Joomla core installation against this specific PHP bug.
You should make sure that your hoster continuously security-maintains your PHP/LINUX environment to keep it up to date (Joomlapolis Hosting does).
Please note that Community Builder 2.0.12 runs just fine with Joomla 3.4.7 (no backwards compatibility issues) and Community Builder's sessions management is not affected by this PHP secutity bug.
