I'm pleased to announce the immediate availability of AlphaUserPoints version 1.5.0 for download.
This release is a major version contains 14 bug fixes, a partial reorganization of the code for frontend with seperate controllers and several new features. This new version now support huge site members on synchronization and recalculation of points. Now, during the installation of AlphaUserPoints, an icon is added to the general control panel of joomla (mod_aupadmin). This icon allows you to quickly launch AlphaUserPoints and display also a warning if there are pending approvals. For the release of this new version, I have created a new logo. I hope you enjoy it.

Also, I want to say a big thank you to Sami Haaranen - joomlaportal.fi - for the many hours spent testing and translate this component.

It has been 2 weeks since AlphaUserPoints v1.4.0 was released on June 04, 2009. The summer holidays approaching, I wanted to take a little advance...
