An updated version of JFBConnect (JED Link), SourceCoast's leading Facebook integration suite for Joomla, is available now. This release adds Facebook's Send button along with multiple minor features and bug-fixes. This is also the first release available from our new dual-release strategy keeping our Joomla 1.5 and Joomla 1.6 versions in sync for features and bug-fixes. With our new build system, we have one code base from which we can build JFBConnect for both Joomla versions. We believe this strategy is optimal because:
1) Each version is tailored for your specific version of Joomla - No extra code meant for a different Joomla version to slow your site down or add additional complexity if you're looking at the code.
2) Feature parity between Joomla releases - While some features may be specific to Joomla 1.5 or 1.6, in general, when a Facebook specific feature is implemented for one version of JFBConnect, it works automatically for both!
Both of these traits together will allow for quicker development and a better overall experience for all of our users. As always, the Joomla 1.5 and Joomla 1.6 versions are available under the same subscription package, which makes choosing JFBConnect a no-brainer.
The new versions, v3.2.2 for Joomla 1.5 and v3.3.1 for Joomla 1.6, add new feature's like Facebook's Send button for Joomla. Additionally, there are multiple improvements such as improved login logic for compatibility with additional SEF extensions for Joomla and better handling of returning user profile imports. For all of the changes, make sure you check out the JFBConnect Changelog.
The 3.2.2 release is likely the last revision of the 3.x branch of JFBConnect. From here on out, we're focusing on JFBConnect 4.x which will implement Facebook's new OAuth 2.0 authentication scheme, and have other great new features. Expect the first release of the 4.x series in July!
