Coinciding with the recent bbPress upgrade, BuddyPress 1.5 has been released:

Version 1.5 is a major BuddyPress feature release. Code-named “Lombardi” after the first pizzeria in the United States (with a wink and a nod toward the Wisconsin roots of several members of the BP dev team), BuddyPress 1.5 introduces many dozens of new features and enhancements, on top of hundreds of bugfixes.

As with any new software release, there are a host of new features, bug fixes and more. The more notable changes in BuddyPress 1.5 are an improved interface for managing profiles, a refreshed default theme offering header customization, an optional one-column page template, sexier content design and much better integration with bbPress.

This is a one of the more kick ass updates to BuddyPress. If you have ever considered running your own specialized social network then BuddyPress may be just what the doctor ordered. While an out-the-box solution of BuddyPress, bbPress and WordPress does make for a spiffy site, definitely take some time to customize it up a bit - BP makes it about as easy as possible.
