Marketplace 2.1 released

Marketplace the Joomla! 1.5 native classified ads extension is now available in version 2.1.

New in Marketplace 2.1:

• Backend language files: Backend now also completely translatable via language files (English and German) included
• My entries: Users can now show a list with only their own entries
• Republish: If an entry expires, users are able to republish it (configurable)
• Profiles: Users are able to enter their contact data in a profile. This works as a preset when creating a new entry
• RSS feeds: RSS Feeds for all entries or entries in a specific category are available (configurable)
• Simplified installation: Needed plugins are installed during component installation
• Simplified upgrade: Marketplace upgrade script now uses "method=upgrade". Just install Marketplace 2.1 over a running Marketplace 2.0. Everything's done automatically (new database tables, fields, indexes, ...). It's almost magic ;-)

Bugfixes:

• New entry page now has a page title
• No more nasty warning message regarding entry expiration
• Solved a problem with the backend filter (threw error when switching tabs).
