IMPORTANT: Please update platform core first (to 1.0 beta 5) before updating _any_ plugins. Otherwise you may end up with a broken site.

Here’s our first digest of recent news at Oxwall Store:

1) Several important plugins released free, under BSD license: forum, Facebook connect, contact importer, and Ning member import.

2) Forum has undergone serious enhancement, namely:
– Permalinks on topic posts, so you give a URL of a specific message inside a topic;
– Enhanced quote function;
– Context-dependent forum search (yes, yes!);
– Subscribe by email to a forum topic – works with Email notifications plugin (oh).

3) Groups plugin released with built-in forum (forum plugin necessary for that)!

4) Monetization plugins released for charging members subscriptions: Paid membership, PayPal, CCBill.

We do not stop developing new features for Oxwall software in our quest to deliver a lot of balanced, simple and powerful functionality for your site. Thanks for creating with us!
