B2evolution hat eine neue Beta-Version der Blogsoftware veröffentlicht. Die enthält zahlreiche Neuerungen und Bugfixes. Die neue Version kann hier herunter geladen werden. Wie immer sind Beta-Versionen eher etwas für Entwickler, die nicht eine vollkommen funktionstüchtige Software nicht abschreckt. Alle anderen sollte bei der stabilen und erprobten Version 1.8.5 bleiben. benannt wurde diese Version nach dem neuen James Bond Film Casino Royale. 
Die neuen Features sind:
- Enhanced stats (fplanque)
- Different item edit views: simple, advanced (blueyed, fplanque)
- Cleaned up blog management (fplanque)
- Visual skin selector (fplanque)
- Filemanager: basic image preview while browsing (blueyed)
- Post contents get pre-rendered and cached at edit time in order to speed up complex displays. The cache data gets invalidated automatically, e.g. if a plugin gets updated. However, just in case, there’s a “Delete item cache” action in the “Tools”.
- Ping services are now implemented as plugins with b2evolution.net and Pingomatic included. There is also a “Generic ping plugin” which can be used for common RPC ping services. (blueyed)
- Different modes of hitlog/session pruning: per page, as cron job or “off” (fplanque, blueyed)
- Bonus template for standalone contact form. (fplanque)
- Enhanced user interface
- Enhanced handling of locale dateformats (especially when editing posts with other date format chars than “d”, “m” and “Y”/”y”) (blueyed)
