The latest version of Drupal Commons is now available for download here. Its currently a dev release, but many of the new views and layouts we've been working on with Acquia over the past few months have been implemented, along with our new theme - Connect. (See our previous blog post on BrightLemon working with Acquia during the planning phase of the Drupal Commons update).

Additional updates include a theme selector during installation and the ability to turn features on and off per group.
