What does this plugin do?
This #Joomla! component is UNUSABLE alone: other components HAVE TO USE IT. Consider this component as a Framework. It help other developers integrate Akismet in their code. This component is simply a bridge, hiding Akismet details and providing an unified way to use Akismet in #Joomla 3rd party component code.
NEW: Slider administrator panel.
NEW: Native #Joomla! 1.5 plugin, no need to install in legacy mode.

NEW: Using Akismet PHP 5 engine version 0.4 (author Alex Potsides http://www.achingbrain.net/)
- Performance – changed HTTP version from 1.1 to 1.0 (with thanks to Jan De Poorter).
- Performance – No longer issues a separate HTTP request to check validity of the API key with every instantiation.
- Added a new public method ‘isKeyValid’ to manually check validity of the API key passed to the constructor.
- The method ‘isCommentSpam’ (rather than the constructor) will now throw an exception if the API key is invalid.
- Tidied up internal structure a bit.
