Chris,
Posts are automatically closed after 30-days of inactivity. It makes things easier to prevent users from responding to really old posts that may not be relevant to newer versions of our extensions.
As to your question, the new release hasn't come out yet. We were hoping to get it out earlier in January, but got sidetracked with some big changes for both JFBConnect and JLinked. We're in the process of unifying the profile plugins for both extensions which will make future development an new features easier to implement. Both new releases will also support Joomla 3.0, which is also delaying things a little.
One thing to note is that, going along with our
announcement blog post
back in August, the next major releases of our extensions will not support Joomla 1.5. If you're still using Joomla 1.5, the current release of JLinked will be the last, unless there are bugs or security updates that are required.
Hope that helps answer your question,
Alex
