K2 v2.5.3 (maintenance release) now available

K2 v2.5.3 (maintenance release) now available
We have just released v2.5.3 of K2, fixing primarily minor glitches in 2.5.1 and a small (but significant) JS error that appeared in the short-lived 2.5.2 release (which we issued past Friday). If you are using K2 v2.5.1 you can safely upgrade to v2.5.3 by installing the 2.5.3 zip file on top of 2.5.1. As always, it's good to grab a backup just in case (you can use the free Akeeba Backup for that).
What has changed in 2.5.3? Here's a list of the most important ones:

  • First and foremost, we have fixed any PHP notices, warning or errors as reported by users or the K2 team up until now. We're basically talking minor stuff here...
  • Added language strings missing in the frontend.
  • Comments (backend): if a commenter is a user in your Joomla! site, a link will now appear in their name in the comments moderation list.
  • In Joomla! 1.7, unicode aliases are off by default. In that case use K2 replacements unless unicode aliases (or other related plugins) are enabled.
  • Fixed "reset" button in the tags list in the backend.
  • Fixed: Both admin modules install on "None" pages in a fresh 1.7.x install.
  • Renamed all backend "views" to lowercase names for consistency.
  • Added the ability to override the placeholder images for categories and users. Just make sure you replace the related placeholder K2 images from /components/com_k2/images/ inside /templates/yourtemplate/images/.
  • All buttons in K2 Quickicons module now display the related K2 items list with proper filters. Updated external links. Added a clearing div to fix issue reported where all joomla button above the K2 Quickicons module were not clickable.
  • 3 new icons for getk2.org links: community, extend, docs
  • Added option in K2 parameters to select which online image editor to use (in K2 Quickicons) among 5 popular choices (e.g. Aviary, Picnik etc.)
  • Updated the look of K2 module parameters to be more user-friendly in Joomla! 1.7 (a la J!1.5).
  • Updated jQuery 1.6 to latest release, added options for jQuery 1.7 as well. For new installations, jQuery 1.7.x is used by default.
  • Fixed a CSS typo.
  • Changed 2 user.php author block p tags to div tags, added checks for empty user descriptions output even if WYSIWYG editors place empty <p></p> tags. Updated K2 CSS to reflect these p to div changes.
  • Added integration with AceACL in K2 item/category forms.
  • Updated the K2 plugin API to render K2 plugin params from <param> blocks only in both Joomla! 1.5 and 1.7.
  • Getting the current view via JS does not conflict anymore with 3PD admin templates (e.g. AdminPraise templates).

 That's it for now. Upgrade ASAP folks ;)
