Another 2 weeks of sustained effort ends with great success, the release of the stable version 5.0.2 for J-BusinessDirectory extension. The new version does not address only the bug fixes from the previous release, but it comes also with some great improvements.

Let's take a tour and see the new features and improvements that have been implemented.
