We have just released an update to Frontpage Slideshow, version 3.1.0.

This update fixes/adds/updates the following:
- Updates compatibility with the new stable Virtuemart v2.x and the latest versions of redSHOP and Tienda.
- Partial integration with Joomla! 1.7+ ACL. For the moment you can choose to give admin access to specific user groups for the entire component in the backend. Version 3.1.1 adds ACL control up to slide and category levels, so you can assign a specific group to manage slides of a specific category. Version 3.1.1 will follow in the next 10 days.
- Added "Author alias" field (and renamed the "Created by" field in the slide edit form to just "Author").
- We now attach a slide's modified date to the slide image path in the frontend. This is especially useful when using a CDN with Joomla!.
- Joomla! v2.5 compatibility complete. Since 2.5 is still in Beta 1, if any changes occur until the Stable release, we will adapt Frontpage Slideshow ASAP.
- Bug fixed: The statistics module will now properly install and publish in the Joomla! control panel in Joomla! 1.7+ (for clean installations)
- Updated icons for publishing in all backend lists to conform with Joomla! standards. E.g. if a slide has expired it will show the relevant icon and not the "published" icon which displayed in previous versions.

Since v3.1.0, Frontpage Slideshow is fully compatible with Joomla! versions 1.5 to 2.5. To learn more, please read the updated product page at: www.joomlaworks.net/frontpage-slideshow


DOWNLOAD
You can download this version by logging into our PDS system at www.joomlaworks.net/pds or by email (which we have already sent to our newest customers).


IMPORTANT: SUPPORT FOR OLDER VERSIONS
With this new release, we are ceasing support for older versions 1.x.x and 2.x.x. We have moved all the posts regarding these versions in a new read-only board here: forum.joomlaworks.net/frontpage-slideshow-v1-v2-(for-joomla!)/

You can use it for your reference, but you cannot post new issues there.

If you use Joomla! 1.5 and v2.x.x of Frontpage Slideshow, we highly recommend you upgrade to v3.x.x to actively be supported.


UPGRADING
If you have v2.9.x installed in your system and want to upgrade to v3.x.x, you need to FIRST UNINSTALL the old version and install the new one, as both the database and slide image structure is changed in this newer version.
