## Upgrade Notes:

This version already have automated upgrade script built-in for old versions. As album support is newly added in this version, media files from old version will be moved to respective user’s *“Wall Posts”* (i.e. default album)

## What’s Next:

This release is coming out almost 2 weeks late compared to planned schedule. Delay was mainly because of restructuing and refactoring code-base. We hope that extra time & efforts we put in this release will make path ahead smoother.

We couldn’t add activity-integration for media in version 2.2 as planned before. Its pushed down to version 2.4.

In next release (v 2.3), we will be adding group-album support. Another much-demanded feature.

More details about our future plans can be found in [our roadmap page](https://rtmedia.io/roadmap/).

Thanks to Gagan Deep Singh (GDS) and Umesh for all hard work. 🙂
