Due to taking on a full-time job as a Systems Architect, I'm not available for custom development anymore.
I'm planning on keeping my extensions updated as well as adding new features. For people interested in custom development for my extensions you could ask on the Support Forum. If I can't help, someone else might be able to.
The next version of Jobline will be version 1.2. This has been in development for a long time, and it will contain lots of new features. I'm currently working on adding in extra features added for clients and cleaning up the code, fixing bugs in all the new stuff etc.
Even though most of the work is already done, there is still much left to do. I'm working on this off and on, whenever I have time, but it is going to take a while. I can't give any esitimation on when I will have this version finished, it will be released when it is done.
Sponsor Development
For those who want to chip in and help sponsor the development of this version I've set up a donation page. If you want to speed up the release of this version, please consider making a donation.
Read on for a list of features that will be added.
The module Jx Latest Commented has been updated with the ability to list the latest entries from Jambook. This is basically the same functionality as in the module Jx Show Jambook. The version for Joomla 1.5 has also been updated with some fixes to work better with Joomla 1.5 Native.
Jambook is an open source Joomla guestbook component with spam protection and many customization options. It has been written from scratch to be easy to use and yet have powerful functionality for the administrator.

During the last few days I've been hard at work updating Jambook to get to a stable release. Most of the big issues have been dealt with. Jambook is now also ready to be used with Joomla 1.5 using legacy mode. I've also done some work on supporting Joomla 1.5 natively, although there will still be some work to do on that.
One of the bigger issues left is updating the importers from other guest book systems. The code has been completely rewritten, so that it won't run out of memory as easily. But I need SQL dumps of data from different components in order to test the changes. If anyone can help me out with some example data, that would be great.
