Early adopters started using Dolphin 7.1 Osho a while ago. Pragmatics, however, opted for wait-n-see strategy. Osho turned out to be a very successful update with awesome new features, fresh new look and great performance. It needed some fixes, though, so pragmatics may have been right.
Anyway, today we are presenting Dolphin 7.1.1, which should lure everyone aboard. It's a "service" update, but it does have a big list of enhancements that make it really worthwhile even if your 7.1-powered site works well. Let's see...

Fairly big list for the time that passed since 7.1.0 release, isn't it? Some of the items are really important if not critical, so updating your site is highly recommended.
Upgrade instructions - 7.1.0 to 7.1.1
Good luck and let us know how it goes! Next up, we already have some ideas about 7.2, but we certainly want to make sure Osho works well for everyone.
Just a few days ago Dolphin Mobile Apps for iOS and Android have been updated to 1.7.1 with a few tiny fixes. Prime clients may want to update their apps, too.
Overall good job!
Hopefully you guys will now have a lot more time to work on some of the much needed and begged for functions that will make Dolphin much better
But still huge problems in groups module: "Manage members" list doesn't scroll when having many fans and promoting a fan as a group-admin in that list doesn't work (only shows cycling circle).

In any way, thanks for updates.
- for Android to fix problem with Facebook login with some facebook accounts (within 6 days after release of 1.7.0, we hope it didn't affect anyone, since rebranding usually takes more time)
- for iPhone to fix version number on about screen (after about a month after 1.7.0, but this is not urgent, and should not affect rebranded versions)
