Yesterday, rtCamp released BuddyPress Media 2.7. This release is one of the most important one in recent times. With this release we start testing the BuddyPress 1.7 waters. Based on our expreience, we are rolling out UI changes that had been pending for a long time.

## Activity Uploader

BuddyPress Media 2.7 now includes an activity media uploader. Users can attach one or many images, videos or audio or a combination of them in their **status updates**. Now, sharing updates and media happens within the same interface.

## Media Slideshow

Viewing media gets easier with a Facebook style slideshow. This ajax powered feature includes regular media actions like *commenting* and *favouriting* within the slide. Browsing media and navigation get simpler with *previous/next* buttons. You can also navigate with the **keyboard** previous and next keys.
