Released 08/07/2017
We are well into development on IPS Community Suite 4.2.2 and are excited to start announcing all the new features and improvements.
Our next big release is focused on engagement with your members. You will see enhancements to our Reputation system, new ways to encourage people to register on your community, and enhancements to existing features to make them more interactive. There are also entirely new capabilities we cannot wait to show you ranging from new ways to organize content to tools to help promote your community.
Version 4.2.2 also features a refreshed AdminCP and default front-end design. Theme changes in 4.2.2 are mostly in the CSS framework so your existing themes will either work without issue or require minor changes to work in the new version.
Over the next several weeks we will be posting news entries with previews of upcoming features fairly often. Be sure to follow our News section, our Facebook, or Twitter to stay up to date.
We expect IPS Community Suite 4.2.2 to be out in mid-2017 with a public preview available sooner.
Everyone at IPS has worked very hard on this update and we think you will love it!
4.2.2 is a maintenance release that fixes issues identified in 4.2.1 and:
A new extraction process to make auto-upgrades more robust
The upgrade system will do a check of all files to ensure they are up to date before proceeding
