JomSocial 2.2 RC 1 Available for downloads now!

I am very excited to announce the new availability of JomSocial 2.2 RC1 which will also mark the end of the beta testing. I understand many customers are waiting patiently for Joomla 1.6 compatibility and we've worked very hard towards this for the new release. As updated on our development twitter account, http://twitter.com/jomsocialdev,  the number of commits for 2.2 release was 3,000,  more than double the commits for 1.8 and 2.0.

It is almost impossible to have all new updates for JomSocial 2.2 tested in all different environments. The RC release will ensure that all new updates are stable and that you will enjoy smooth experience with JomSocial 2.2. Once all errors are eliminated, we will then gear towards a final release.

Some of you who haven't noticed about the earlier beta releases yet, here's some of the many major features that will be included in JomSocial 2.2 RC1:

Facebook Invitations

You can now invite your friends from Facebook as long as you are signed on via Facebook

Comments and Likes on Stream

This is one of the most sought for feature in JomSocial 2.2. The ability to comment and like on the stream items.

Massive Layout Improvements
We have also taken another great step ahead by massively improving on the layout and user experience in this release. Most of your users will definitely notice these great improvements!

Of course, this is just a brief information about the RC release. A more detailed explanation on the changes will be available soon once the stable release is made available.

I would also like to Thank all the beta testers that constantly helped us throughout the beta period.

You can access the downloads for this release in the forums

Signing off for now, happy socializing with JomSocial 2.2 RC1!
