I've been pinged by more than a few people about this today, but I can officially say that SP1 for Community Server 2008 is now available! On the download page you'll find updated install packages as well as an upgrade package for existing sites.

The more notable items include these enhancements:

• New users have display names enabled by default
• Users can delete their own activity messages
• Admins can now delete user files and folders
• Control Panel link destinations are most consistent

And these bug fixes:

• Better localization in all themes
• New friendships are properly logged to the activity stream
• Save and Continue works properly in blogs
• Centralized File Storage works correctly when accessed over SSL
• Empty conversations and profile announcements/comments can no longer be submitted
• SpamRules updated to get property values
• Several bugs were fixed within the REST Web services stack.
  

For a more complete list of fixes included in this release check out the official team blog post on the subject. I'll have another blog post in a few days that maps out the road ahead for Community Server.  I can tell you now that you won't be waiting another year for a big update.
