Jom Comment 1.9 is currently under heavy development and a few beta version has been released. There are quite a bit of changes in the release, the most important being the use of our own internal libraries instead of using Joomla API call.
We have decided to do this for a few reasons, but mainly to help us port all our apps across J1.0 , J1.5 and possibly Mambo as well.
1.9 is a pretty significant release. You can look forward to some major new features, such as reworked backend interface, support for social bookmarking, voting features, report comment to admin, email subscription, favorite article and many more.
