Dear AceSEF users,

As I said in my last blog post about AceSEF releases, the next releases cycle will be longer and it was (about 1.5 months). Now we have a new version which fixes a couple of bugs and adds some new features that improves the usability of AceSEF.

Dear AcePolls users,

We've just released AcePolls 1.0.2. This version includes a great new feature to show/embed your polls into articles so that users can vote and/or view the poll results from articles.

Hi everyone,

Yesterday I was providing custom support to one of our honorable customers. He was tired of the huge number of 404 URLs stored by AceSEF. The point that he couldn't get was that he used a crawler to see the 404 URLs on his site and the result was too lowly from the 404 URLs stored by AceSEF.

Dear Joomla users,

After seeing that there is no Poll component included in Joomla 1.6 package we decided to fork the Apoll component and make it compatible with both Joomla 1.5 & 1.6. We've also cleaned up the codebase of Apoll component.

Dear AceSEF users.

After a hard work we've finally released the first version of AceSEF 1.6 which is compatible with Joomla 1.6. There is no new features, only compatibility with Joomla 1.6. Due to the different API of Joomla 1.6, it is not backward compatible with Joomla 1.5. For Joomla 1.5, use AceSEF 1.5.

Dear AceSEF users.

After a short time from the latest release, we have just released another improved version of AceSEF component. The most important change of this version is the low priority security fix. We're calling it as low because the "hacker" have to be logged in back-end so he could apply it.

Dear AceSEF users,

We've just released AceSEF 1.5.13 . This version includes major enhancements such as using database to store configuration instead of the configuration.php file.

We've also fixed the issue that required to enter Download-ID to upgrade free extensions which was caused by our new Download/Payment system.

SPECIAL OFFER FOR YOU

It has gone over one and a half year since we've started selling paid subscriptions for our extensions. We've tried different Joomla components for selling paid subscriptions/downloads and finally used VirtueMart, a popular e-commerce component, for over a year.

In the course of time we've faced a lot of problems; unending bugs of VirtueMart because of it's slow development, old/hacking style code base, very hard to manage/search orders, not able to define different limit for each subscription and lack of lot of features etc. which has obligated us many times to modify the code ourself.

Dear users,

Since October 2010, we are going to arrange AceSEF Beer (Free) Days every month. In these days, we are going to give out several coupon codes which you will get AceSEF and/or it's extensions for FREE, as beer.
