I’ve just released version 1.4.17 of the CUNY Academic Commons. Commons 1.4.17 is a maintenance release, whose major feature is an upgrade to WordPress 3.5. WP 3.5 has lots of nice new user-facing features, such as a revamped media manager, that the Community Team will be highlighting in the upcoming weeks.
For complete details on the release, see the 1.4.17 milestone.
