Before Acquired Release Notes

These upgrades address all of the post-release issues found in the big 2.0 release last month. Not that these are taken care of, we can move ahead with the Events plugin. Development on the Events plugin…

Hooray! We’ve finally released SocialEngine 2.0. SocialEngine clients may now login to the client area and purchase the 1.8 -> 2.0 upgrade for $25 US.
