JReviews 2.4 RC2 has been released!

[Alejandro]

Less than a week from the RC1 release we bring you JReviews 2.4 RC2 (2.4.5.1). As we mentioned in our previous announcement this version is suitable for production sites. The upgrade is available via remote update if you have installed a previous version of 2.4 and it is also available for download in the client area. You need a valid upgrades package.

 

An update for GeoMaps is also available to fix an issue with the Map It button not appearing on the front-end listing form.

 

What are the most important features and changes in 2.4 when compared to 2.3?. Read the JReviews 2.4 Feature Overview.

 

If you have overrides, you must first rename the overrides folder and clear the file registry. For those upgrading from a 2.4 beta version, the beta files will not be necessarily compatible with RC2 and you must always compare your overrides with the newer version to make sure your files are up to date.

Does JReviews 2.4 work in Joomla 3.0? Yes. We've done limited testing, but have a few clients that are already using it and so far there haven't been any major bug reports.

 

PaidListings is not available for JReviews 2.4 and due to the fact that we are getting very close to the end of the year it will not be ready this year. We need to invest a significant amount of time re-writing the add-on to make it compatible with JReviews 2.4.
