As we are entering the final stage of JomSocial 4.4 development, with ACL implementation already in place, and real-time chat instead of current inbox system, we are thrilled to announce another addition to already rich base of extensions and addons. This time, we are coming up with new theme for JomSocial 4, which will be compatible with all the new features that we are working on right now, and all the existing features from previous versions like Theme Designer.

After iJoomla Installer was discontinued, we made a promise to replace it with a native solution built-in into Joomla! Today, we are delivering this promise and introducing the Joomla! update notifications for JomSocial, Socialize, and all the extra modules and plugins too.

Also, we are bringing numerous fixes for all the bugs reported since the last release. For the full list of changes, please visit the changelog pages. You can find JomSocial’s changelog here and Socialize changelog is available here.

Today i am excited to give you a development preview from one of the most anticipated feature and the one that took us many months to develop.

In our previous blog post we have announced some paid Extra Add-ons will be offered for free to our members. Due the technical difficulty with the cart system, we didn't make it available last week but they are ready now.

Keeping our member’s in mind, we have rolled out some updates this week and have few more lined up for next week. We do hope these changes will empower our members and help them do more with JomSocial. This is what we did this week.

JomSocial and iJoomla are now part of JoomlArt. All users with active licenses for JomSocial or any other iJoomla product are entitled to get JA Joomla Page Builder Pro for free. The system is now ready.

I founded iJoomla in 2006 and over the years, my team and I have created some of the most popular extensions for Joomla, including iJoomla Magazine, Guru, Ad Agency, iSEO and many more. In 2013 I acquired JomSocial and we got to work improving its usability, stability, functionality and user satisfaction. We also implemented testing automation which I believe is the best thing we’ve ever done.

Joomla 3.7 is coming soon and we are all excited for its new roster of awesome features. But it does come with a warning. The new features will affect almost all JomSocial translations and render them obsolete.

If you are a translator or have a multilingual website, you will need to make a minor update to your language files.

JomSocial 4.3.3 is an important bugfix release and we advise you to update immediately. It contains critical issues that affect group discussion privacy.
To see the full list of changes, please visit the changelog page.

In today’s release, we don’t just have one product update to announce, we’ve got an entire line of updated JomSocial products... and some completely new ones. So grab a cup of coffee, sit back end enjoy the great news.
