What's new?

Rewritten as native Joomla 4 extension. This version of Akeeba Engage is only compatible with Joomla 4.0. It has been rewritten from the ground up as a native Joomla 4 extension using the Joomla 4 MVC and Bootstrap 5 for backend styling (the frontend is still custom CSS).

The Akismet plugin can now report ham and spam back to Akismet. This helps improve the quality of filtering Akismet provides to all sites.
