Just uploaded version 7.07 and it's a monster of a release. For a couple reasons:


1) It's not a smooth upgrade. But it's pretty simple--you just need to rename your site folders a bit. Change config to plugins and move skins from inside files to beside files. And then correct any hardcoded paths in your skin and/or css files. 

2) Lot's of changes to the core code. If you have custom plugins, you'll want to read the changelog carefully and test things.

3) Things are bigger. I've added a few more graphics to help display the skins better. As best I can tell that doubled the side of the download! Hard to believe a handful of images equals thousands of lines of codes!

But the upgrade is worth it:

1) Lot's of bug fixes and feature tweaks.

2) Lot's of new skins. And a few less ugly ones!

3) A freed up shared folder for your own custom web development.

The real changes are what this release made possible for our accelerator partners. And for that matter the BoltWire site. Ton's of new interactive community features, and more coming soon now that the structural problems are all resolved. 

Even though you may not be an accelerator partner, I've also just posted a huge blog article describing some of the new features. Be sure to read it, as this release brings a huge upgrade to our BoltWire site.


Very excited about this release. Things are really coming together...

Cheers,
Dan
