After countless hours of development, testing user feedback, we're proud to announce that JFBConnect v7 is now available. The main feature in this release is auto-posting of new content to Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. We've also touched up some issues with Joomla 3.5, improved integration with JomSocial, EasySocial and Community Builder, and made some large performance improvements in how JFBConnect queries the database.
