The just released v2.6.5 fixes a couple of nasty bugs found in K2 v2.6.4 which was released last week. These bugs were only spotted when using the new advanced SEF options and the new tag normalization option introduced in v2.6.4.

Late in the 80s and early 90s, posters of rock stars or pop idols were decorating every teenager's room.

In 2013, K2 lovers and geeks get theirs!

Kudos to Theodore Vorillas (via Pinterest).

Although not even 10 days have passed since we released K2 v2.6.3, we decided it would be a shame not to release this new version 2.6.4 ASAP. You see, this new release brings some SEF URL enhancements which we know many K2 users will love. To quickly sum things up we have added the new K2 advanced SEF options, tag normalization options, jQuery 1.8.3 and 1.9.1, improved the transliteration logic introduced in v2.6.3 and removed 2 obsolete online image editors (used via the backend).

<?php
$var = $this->item->extraFields->Image->value ;
