• Updates to the latest library files for CKEditor, jQuery, Uikit, etc...
• Plus more and a large number of bug fixes as well...

Update (2019-06-24): Please note for Geeklog v2.2.1 we plan to up the minimum PHP version required to PHP v5.6.

Update (2018-04-08): We are hard at work on Geeklog v2.2.0 but the release is running a little late. We have added a few more features than planned which pushed things back. It will be out for sure by this summer.
