Well we finally released the next version of Jinzora, Jinzora 2.2. We'd be waiting for a bit to release it on Jinzora's 2nd birthday which was yesterday...
It's hard for me to believe that I've been hacking on Jinzora for 2 years now. It's been a lot of fun along the way and I've certainly learned a lot. I've not only learned a lot of PHP/MySQL/HTML/coding in general but I've learned a ton about general project management - specifically from the development/product side.
There's been one other unexpected side affect of all this. All the amazing people I've met all over the world. This I was not expecting. I've heard from people on every continent (expect Antarctica) and it over 80 different countries. Amazingly enough on friend I've made, Wim Hager from the Netherlands, is actually coming to Denver next week on vacation and we're getting together for dinner! This is just amazing to me, that I'll get to have dinner with someone from the Netherlands thanks to Jinzora. Amazing.
So back to Jinzora 2.2. There are several big things in this release, for all the details see the full Jinzora Changelog. Most notably there are a few critical security fixes - all users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to this release immediately.

Good stuff. Jinzora has a boatload of features. I've also been meeting quite a few people while creating mp3act. It's a amazing how generous they can be.
It's also really surprising just how many of the suporters are from the Netherlands. I would say more than half of the people I've talked to have been from the Netherlands. They must love Open Source.
