facebook_status 6.x-2.0-beta4

This should be the last beta release; the next stable release will probably be a Release Candidate. Activity integration is probably broken in this release.

Upgrade Notes

• Run update.php immediately after upgrading.
• Most default views probably require the PHP Filter module to be enabled.
• If you have problems with your views, go to admin/build/views and click "Revert" next to each view where that option is offered.
• If you were using the facebook_status_convo view from Beta 3, you should delete it; it was replaced by facebook_status_mentions.
• You should review the module's settings at admin/settings/facebook_status and admin/settings/facebook_status/advanced as well as the module's permissions at admin/user/permissions#module-facebook_status
• New views were added and one Views-generated block was removed.
• The "edit own status" and "edit all statuses" permissions now also give permission to delete the relevant statuses.
