In the new release RC 2.9.2 of SOBI2 we added several new features such as the possibility to define component menu links to SOBI categories or special listings or functions, like to user listings or to the add entry form. In addition to this Joomla! extended menu structure we implemented the possibility to show a message if a category is empty and to switch off alpha index for categories. Also we extended the SOBI language manager to install the additional Joomla! 1.5 menu language files if they are within a language package. Generating of RSS feeds can now be configured in different ways using the configuration keys. The settings for meta data generation are more sophisticated now. The CSS styles for the payment page are improved and a container for the renewing page is added. Please check the CSS file for changes. Also the SOBI system check reporting is improved and adapted to the new version. Besides these new features and changes there are several bug fixes and small improvements included in the new version. We experienced that a lot of servers were not able to handle tar.gz files. Therefore we changed the archive type of the SOBI2 package back to ZIP. Because of their ongoing help in the Sigsiu.NET forum for SOBI2 we added Helge Kreutzer Johnsen (Poffen) and Kostas Stathakos (leven) to our team member list. We also released version RC 1.3 of SobiSEF plugin. To use the new extended SOBI menu structure with SobiSEF, this new plugin version has to be used. Don't forget to purge URLs after installation. Please see the full changelog list (/changelog). See here for upgrading instructions (/upgrading.html).
