This is a pretty massive FREE update for all Armadillo users. Let's jump right in what's new and improved:

• NEW - Blog Archives! You can now display archive links for your blog posts. This option is enabled by default, and you can turn it off via the Settings tab in Armadillo's online dashboard.
• NEW - Social Sharing! Add a code snippet for the social sharing service of your choice in Armadillo Settings. If enabled, this code will be added to the bottom of all the pages and posts on your site, automatically.
• NEW - Facebook Open Graph Support! When adding Facebook's OG tags to your content (via Armadillo's Meta Content editor), they will now be interpreted correctly when posting links to Facebook.
• NEW - Blog Navigation Links stack! Now all the blog related links (to categories, tags, RSS feeds, etc.) have been separated into its own stack, so you can place it where you like on the page. Previously, these links were displayed below the Armadillo sidebar content (in keeping with RapidWeaver tradition).
• IMPROVED - Protocal agnostic links - this means if you connect to your site via a secure connection, all Armadillo links will be secure as well.
• IMPROVED - Easier setup process - now you can enter the database details directly in the stack. Armadillo will detect these settings, double-check to make sure they are correct, and then display a simple form where you specific the password and email for the initial admin user.
• IMPROVED - Reduced the number of database requests to help make Armadillo even speedier than before.
• FIXED - Post titles in the RSS feed should no longer display garbled characters for certain languages.
• Various minor tweaks and improvements.

All this awesomeness is completely free for all Armadillo owners. Just check for updates in your Stacks Library, and keep in mind you may need to restart RapidWeaver before the update appears.

If you have questions or run into any problems, please let me know. :-)
