JFBConnect v4.2.5 Bug-Fix Release Available

JFBConnect - Facebook for Joomla The newest version of JFBConnect, v4.2.5, was just released. This update fixes some minor bugs that certain configurations of JFBConnect may run into.

Bugs fixed include:

Enabling auto-login can prevent email notifications or Alpha User Point rewards on new Facebook Likes or Facebook Comments.
Permission requests on login can be incorrect for certain fields imported from Facebook.
Password length was not properly checked during registration, allowing users to register with very short passwords.

For all of the changes, see the full JFBConnect changelog. While the update is not required and may not affect all users, we always recommended you use the latest version to ensure the smoothest operation for your Facebook integration.

With the launch of v2.0 of the Facebook Graph API over 2 years ago, a new review process was also implemented for all Facebook Applications. The review process is Facebook's way to verify that deeper integration features on your site are abiding by Facebook's Terms of Service. There's a lot to understand about the process and some of it may surprise you. Some JFBConnect features like posting to your Facebook Page usually don't even need to go through the review process.
