Candy Crush is a popular match-three puzzle video game developed by King. The game was first released for Facebook in April 2012 and later expanded to other platforms, including mobile devices like iOS and Android. The objective of the game is to match three or more candies of the same color by swapping adjacent candies. When matched, these candies are cleared from the board, and new ones fall from the top to fill the empty spaces.
The game is known for its colorful and visually appealing design, as well as its addictive gameplay. The game features various levels, each with different challenges and goals that players must complete within a limited number of moves. As players progress through the levels, they may encounter special candies with unique abilities, obstacles, and other elements that add complexity to the gameplay.
Candy Crush has become one of the most successful and widely played mobile games, with millions of players around the world. It has also inspired numerous spin-off games and merchandise, making it a significant part of the casual gaming landscape.

In case you are wondering, yes, it was a long stretch between betas. The source code that we use from upstream is typically updated every 6-ish months. We prepared beta 1 at the 6-month mark, but the upstream update did not appear until 5 months later. Upstream introduced a major version during that gap in time, so the delay was certainly understandable :-)
The bash security fix is available for the Professional Edition. The fix will be available for the Community Edition in the next day or so.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 was released today. Here is the press release.
ClearOS 7 development is already well underway and an alpha release is already running on a handful of systems. Once we start to dig into the RPM/package rebuilding process, we will have a better idea of ClearOS 7 release dates. Please stay tuned!
ClearOS Community 6.6.0 Beta 1 has arrived! Along with the usual round of bug fixes and enhancements, this release introduces Wordpress, Joomla, Tiki Wiki, WPAD, and AppFirst. You can also expect OwnCloud, SugarCRM, an Vtiger during the upcoming beta cycle.
