We're excited to announce the release of JReviews 5.2.6, with many improvements and bug fixes. We highly recommend updating to this version as soon as possible. JReviews 4 End-of-Life Last July with the release of JReviews 5 stable, we also set the date for the JReviews 4 End-of-Life to December 31, 2024. This means JReviews 4 no longer receives support & updates. Please upgrade to JReviews 5 to maintain compatibility with Joomla, WordPress, and PHP. We released a tool called JReviews Deploy last year to make upgrading between major versions simple. You can download JReviews Deploy and learn more in the documentation. Be sure to also review the server requirements for JReviews 5 before upgrading. These include new requirements related to background processes. Amazon S3 Storage In the last JReviews release we made a change related to file visibility to fix an issue with buckets created after April 2023 which no longer have ACL enabled by default. It turns out the solution wasn't that simple. We've now added automatic checks to see if a bucket is properly configured and use that information to determine how the file is uploaded. Note: If you create new Amazon S3 buckets or use buckets created after April 2023, add a bucket policy to ensure files are publicly readable. Details are in the Amazon S3 Storage Setup documentation. YOOTheme Pro Add-on The YooTheme Addon is now able to set SEO meta tags in the JReviews listing detail page. This includes the title, Facebook and Twitter/X tags. We are already working on adding support for Schema.org markup with a brand new solution that will switch to using JSON-LD markup. Keep reading for more information on this. JReviews Frontend Development Update The JReviews front-end development work continues. You can find the last progress report in the previous blog post. We've made good progress since then to implement functionality related to meta tags, canonical tags and Schema.org structured data. We've built the new view all reviews page for a listing including pagination, sorting and search. The upcoming Schema.org implementation includes: A setup page for selecting Schema types supported by Google. Field association with different Schema properties. Options to set default values for any property, such as the country address field. Full Changelogs The list of changes is too long to display here.
