A number of bug fixes as reported in the forums since the last release.

As always, be sure and backup your database and site before upgrading, and if you run into any problems post in the forums and we will try to help.
The Semi Grand Opening of the mojoPortal Store
I call it semi grand because no real products are available yet, all you can do in the store is buy me a beer at the moment. I expect to have my first product, Event Calendar Pro available by the end of July. You can see what I have so far for the Event Calendar Pro feature on the demo site http://demo.mojoportal.com/events. I decided to go ahead and open the store now because I thought it might interest others who want to use the mojoPortal WebStore to sell download products. The WebStore feature is very rudimentary now but it will be getting more love as I improve it to meet my own ecommerce needs. I will try to update some documentation on the WebStore soon. The one tip I will mention is you configure "Products" then you configure "Offers". Products are not sold directly, but by Offers. An Offer can have 1 or more products and price is set at the Offer level, not at the product level. The Product Catalog is very bare bones, we don't have categories yet so its really only good for a short list of products.
I've also opened up a store on CafePress to sell mojoPortal merchandise: http://www.cafepress.com/mojoportal.
A great way to support mojoPortal, each item purchased contributes $5 to the project.
I'll announce the real Grand Opening of the mojoPortal Store as soon as our first product is available.
