Today was the release of OG 6, Version 2.3

We have a fine assortment of changes (see the changelog), ranging across:

• Extensive og.module commenting.
• Views integration improvements.
• Many “OG, what are you thinking?” bugfixes.
• And even some performance enhancements.

This release covers three classes of issues:

• The remaining low hanging fruit languishing in the issue queue over the last two years.
• Lowish-hanging fruit that I had the time to finish myself.
• Development of enhancements and bugfixes I ran into during the work hours.

As I presented last time, I have a bit of a manifesto on how I’m approaching changes to OG6. Unusual levels of conservatism have led to such oddities in a Drupal project as a function with a @deprecated tag.

There are still items in progress in the issue queue, but since most everyone has moved on to the fantastic Drupal 7 version of Organic Groups, there are very few people contributing their efforts. That’s fine, but you can start to expect most changes to OG6 to come by way of my own itches. I don’t use Notifications, I don’t use multi-group posting, I don’t use the audience widget. If you care about these things, please help the many people that share your plight and present some patches and reviews in the queue.
