JoomlaWorks just released version 2.3 of their free CCK component for Joomla: K2.

The new version has a large number of new features. K2 extends the functions of the Joomla! core and makes it easier to submit and manage large content driven sites. Additionally, it makes it easy to manage users and give access to certain content items. You can also create custom content templates for the purpose of blogs, catalogs, news sites and much more.

Another great feature of this release is the improved SEO functions: K2 will now auto-append the first 150 characters of the item's text onto the "description" meta tag, if none is specified. It will also use any tags added for the "keyword" meta tag.

In this post, Fotis Evangelou and Lefteris Kavadas speak about the new version of K2.

Today, Anything Digital announced the immediate release of sh404SEF version 2.0, Release Candidate 1.

This version is the first major version of the extension since Anything Digital and the lead developer Yannick Gaultier started working together last year.

The version released today is a release candidate (RC1), and should work well for most sites. It is fully backwards compatible with sh404SEF v1.5 in case you need to roll back for any reason.

As you might have read in my post about FLEXIcontent earlier today, I was hoping for front-end editing capabilities in the next version of the extension.

Now, I'm happy to announce that FLEXIcontent 1.5.3 will have front-end capabilities. The final version will be released later this week (Tuesday og Wednesday).

But, if you want to download it now, you can get the SVN release today.
