We're hugely excited to announce that we have released Fabrik 3.0.7 for Joomla 2.5

We strongly advise you to update if you are running earlier versions of Fabrik. Fabrik 3.0.7 is not for Joomla 3+ - for that you will need to use Fabrik 3.1b. Obviously our next focus will be to release a release candidate for Fabrik 3.1b. All of the changes listed here will also be available in Fabrik 3.1rc1

If you have been updating from github then there is no need to update to 3.0.7 - you are already running the code.

So What's new?....

Translation has been greatly improved since we started using transifex, if you want to help out please join our translation team

We've added several new plugins

• Open provider domain name lookup validation rule.
• Upsert form plugin. This allows you to insert or update the forms data into another list via a friendly interface
• Alphauserpoints form plugin, this flexible plug-in easily allows you to assign points to your users for filling in forms.
• Candeleterow plugin. Add additional logic to determine if the user can edit a row.
• Adding PlayThru to captcha element. A fun alternative to our captcha element's standard settings, ask your user to play a short game to ensure they not a bot.
