Dropping our commenting system

Tuesday, 19 February 2008

We have taken the decision to completely stop development of our own commenting system and drop it from the next release. This decision was taken due to the wide selection of excellent open source commenting systems that are widely used in the Joomla Community (We might as well grow together). The next release will include a choice of third party commenting integrations, with more planned for future releases. It is expected that the default integration will be with JComments.

Preview of next release

Tuesday, 19 February 2008

Despite still having much to do on the next version before any kind of release we have launched a sneak preview of how it will look in Joomla 1.5. You can access this preview by clicking on the Preview J1.5 link on the main menu above. There has been a lot of interest in the next release which is expected to push hwdVideoShare forward significantly. The version will have a new AJAX suite of tools for user interaction during video playback, 2 new upload methods and 4 new flv video players to choose from.

In addition to these new features we are trying to incorporate as many bug fixes and feature requests as possible. It has been a mammoth task and we have been working very hard but are happy with the progress.

Users should note there are many issues we are aware of in this preview. We welcome your feedback, but don't tear it to pieces just yet! Wait until you get your hands on the testing version before you do that ;-)
