After a looooong time awaiting, many broken deadlines and a minor riot on the JoomlaWorks forums, version 1.7 of their flagship Frontpage Slideshow was finally released.

JoomlaWorks email notification:

Frontpage Slideshow v1.7 is out now! Learn what's new

Version 1.7 introduces many new features and fixes which vastly improve the functionality and flexibility of Frontpage Slideshow. The highlights of the new release can be summed up to the following:

  * New slideshow engine introduced, based on the power of jQuery! Forget annoying javascript errors with third-party templates or extensions relying purely on Mootools!

  * 2 new templates added, one more has been completely redesigned. 8 in total! Check them out on http://www.frontpageslideshow.net/

  * New backend features and AJAX technology allow the user to have maximum flexibility over content presentation and slide management.

  * Fully compatible with Joomla 1.0.x and Mambo 4.5.x & 4.6.x. A native Joomla 1.5.x version will be out in the coming days as well.

  * Easier CSS templating introduced. New "template packs" will be distributed additionally as separate downloads (free to all customers!)...

Exclusive demos now available on: http://www.frontpageslideshow.net/

Of course, we will be writing a review on FPSS v1.7 in the comming days, right out of the gates, a few errors were found (the first one found by a Joomla Views editor), so we wanted to give the new release a couple of days to mature to get the kinks out before putting it to test.  If you look toward the headers above, you will see that we are currently running version 1.7 ourselves.
