mojoPortal 2.4.0.2 Released!

We released mojoPortal 2.4.0.2 on January 22, 2014.

Probably the coolest thing in this release is the ability to drag and drop images into the editors. The images will be resized according to the default reiszing config settings and by default the resized image will link to the full size image. Of course if you need better control over the resizing, you can still use the image toolbar item to open the dialog where you can set the resize options before upoloading. The option to drag images into the editor does require a modern web browser and it works best when the upload speed is fast, for slower connections it may be better to continue using the image dialog to upload images.

Another important improvement is support for Google Universal Analytics. Google will be automatically migrating all users to Universal Analytics in the near future but you can optionally migrate early from your analytics account. The old tracking code will still work after migration but is deprecated. We've added a config setting to enable switching to the new tracking code after migrating to Universal Analytics. It can take a few days for the migration to complete after opting in to early migration. You should not change to the new tracking code until after the migration is complete.

See the above linked release announcement for full details.
