We're pleased to announce the release of 4SEF version 1.2.2 - Beta. This is a pre-version, test-only of the final upcoming release of 4SEF!
IMPORTANT: 4SEF is still in beta testing phase. This means it's in the final stages of testing and should be used only with caution as some bugs may happen when used in the real world. Beta testing is meant to identify these issues that cannot be discovered during develoment and internal testing.
We recommend using it on test copies of your website only. If you decide to test on your real website, make sure you have a backup on hand so that you can restore things to their previous state in case something goes wrong.

When a component is set to use Joomla SEF URLs, it should still get the URL suffix configured in 4SEF, not the default Joomla one, .html
