JomSocial 3.2 Stable Release Now Available!

JomSocial 3.2

The highly anticipated JomSocial 3.2, stable release is here!

It took us three-and-a-half months to develop and another month to find and squish all the bugs… but boy, was it worth it!

Our own community uses the latest version and we’re really grateful to everyone who visited and made comments and suggestions. We read all the comments we received and they did help us to correct bugs and make improvements. A special thanks goes to our awesome beta testers.

So What’s New?

This version was all about the stream. JomSocial 3.2 has:

  • A new (and fabulous!) share box
  • Emoticons and moods
  • Sharing
  • Likes on comments
  • Multiple photo upload
  • Improved admin announcements
  • Stream filtering by type of post
  • Auto scrolling
  • And much more!

Watch this video to see everything that’s new.

Better Stability

Our new support manager, Paul Smith, took it upon himself to hunt down all the bugs reported by our customers and make sure that every single one was taken care of before the stable release. He did it.

We are releasing this version with zero known bugs. That makes us very happy.

Almost Perfect...But…

But no bugs isn’t the same as perfect.

We are really proud of this release and the feedback we’ve had so far has given everyone in the office a little glow.

But we’re still hungry. There is more to come.

JomSocial’s stream and messages don’t yet have every single feature that we want to see on it. There were a number of things that we wanted to include in this release but couldn’t get to without skimping on the bug-fixing. They’re on their way.

So what’s coming next?

Stream:

  • Moods when posting photos and videos
  • Location-setting when posting videos and photos
  • Photos in comments
  • Support for emoticons in comments on videos, albums and photos
  • Ability to post photos and videos on friends’ walls
  • Tagging on comments on videos and photos

Messages:

  • Automatically turn URLs into links
  • Add attachments to messages
  • Support emoticons in messages
  • Fetch URLs and video URLs in messages

Admin:

  • Allow admin to upload a welcome image on backend

Looks good, doesn’t it? Just wait till you see what we’ve got cooking for 3.3…

Version 3.3 - The New Frontier

Version 3.3 is going to be glorious.
