VERSION 2 FEATURES

• nested-level categories (no section/categories problems here!)
• comments with ReCaptcha anti-spam integration
• tags
• item image (useful for articles/catalogs) created in 6 different width values so you can have leading, primary, secondary and link items, modules and articles all using a different image width, thus truly flexible for modern news portals and more
• improved support for image galleries and videos
• attachments with download tracking
• user profile pages (fully extensible)
• user groups with specific access to specific categories of content - ACL features all the way for true multi-author environments. You can even create a default user group and have all new users added into this group upon their registration.
• refined extra fields UI, now it's easier to understand what you need to input when creating such extra (custom) fields to extend the item form.
• Ajax-based frontend editing
• Module acting as "user toobar" (mod_k2_login) - user sees related info about their account and depending on ACL permissions, links to add/edit content
• Everything is fully translatable with Joom!Fish (content elements will ship with the proper release for v2 in a few days). The same module includes a user login form so you can fully replace Joomla! login module.
• Module for comments can fetch the latest X comments from all or specified categories, with many layout options included as standard
• Module for comments can fetch the top commenters in your site
• Module for content can now fetch the X items from all or specified categories, with many layout options included as standard
• Module "tools" gathers the features you will mostly set only once in your site like a K2 breadcrumbs bar, archive list by months, category list (a la menu), category drop-down, blog-style calendar, tag cloud... Most can have their output filtered per all or specified categories
• 2 plugins enable the underlying syncing of K2 with Joomla's users, plus they extend the user registration/edit forms of Joomla! to add the profile fields for each user as supported by K2
• Search plugin for K2 included so you can have Joomla! searching in K2 as well
• Joom!Fish plugin to work magic on translating extra fields without any modifications to Joom!Fish!

WHAT NEXT?

• sample data for K2 showcasing all features
• completed CSS stylings
• one installer for everything (component will install along with 4 modules and 4 plugins)
• slightly improved migrator
• an example K2 plugin so that developers can see the potential in using the K2 plugin system to extend the item, category and user forms.
