*Added version deletion with Ajax goodness
*Thanks to Lucas Guardino from Web Empresa for the Spanish and the Catalan Translation
*Added the author name next to the version
*Added language files for multilingual support
*Added full content preview for large articles
*Added a version check for 1.5.4 or higher
*Added a training video
*Fixed a bug to include fulltext

We know that drupal has versions management feature for articles, but Joomla does not. Now with this extension, Joomla will have the same power to give content items a version manager.
Thanks to the author!

This set of extensions provides easy to use content versioning for Joomla!. The only problem I ran into was that the current release only works when you're logged into the backend. If you're trying to edit an article from the frontend, the window pops up prompting you to log into the backend. However, I was able to quickly recode this to work for the frontend as well.

Thanks for the note, we'll be sure to fix that issue.

This component is off to a great start. I'm using it to easily track the age of documents as well - but needs to have the columns sortable. In the future it could have notifications of aging (which would be handy to keep a site current)

I downloaded this extension and attempted to install it but ran into a few bugs. So I emailed the developer and he fixed them right away. Now its running on my site, and I plan on using it on all my sites. Versioning is a much needed addition (and free!) to the JED. Small simple, perfect. Thanks.
