We are excited (and relieved) to announce the immediate availability of Open-Realty® v3.3 which provides initial support for PHP v7.0. Existing customers can obtain the update via one-click upgrade if supported, or from your customer area here at Transparent Technologies. A few new features and improvements worth mentioning are: A brand new Page API and some new Media API method types, improved localization, a new customizable template for adding saved searches, a re-work and standardization of the Property Class and User Field Editors, and the ability to include the primary listing photo when sending listings to Twitter.
PHP server requirements have changed: Do not attempt to upgrade Open-Realty if you are currently using PHP 5.5 or earlier.
Open-Realty® 3.0 has introduced a number of new features that improve search engine optimization.  First off, for anyone who does not know what search engine optimization is, wikipedia.org provides a decent description which follows:
"Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume or quality of traffic to a web site or a web page (such as a blog) from search engines via "natural" or un-paid ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results as opposed to other forms of search engine marketing ("SEM") which may deal with paid inclusion. The theory is that the earlier (or higher) a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine."
On behalf of Transparent Technologies, Inc., I would like to announce the immediate release and availability of Open-Realty® v3.0.
With this release we have added many new and exciting features and optimizations, and re-written a considerable amount of the core, making this our finest and most powerful version of Open-Realty® to date. We have greatly improved our blogging system, added the ability to automatically post listings and blog posts to Twitter, enhanced our listing editor, rewritten our listing field editor to be much easier to use adding drag and drop support, and we squashed a big pile of bugs that were reported by the community. More than 100 user requested items/improvements were addressed alone. Of no small consequence, we have also changed the Open-Realty® license. Open-Realty® from this point forward will be licensed as a commercial product, backed with available commercial support. I will address our new license changes first, then I will discuss a few of the new features we have added.
